Few WWE Superstars were ever as larger than life in every sense of the phrase as Andre the Giant. Born as Andr Ren Roussimoff, his charisma was as huge as his stature and his presence defined the word aura, as they say nowadays. When Andre walked into a room, the world stopped to take notice of him.
By proxy, when he passed away at age 46 on January 28, 1993, the world stopped to mourn the Eighth Wonder of the World. In his death, the native Frenchman left behind a legacy of iconic moments and matches, all of which are deserving of a spotlight. In his memory, this list hopes to balance out his five best matches worth talking about and his five best moments, both those in WWE and outside of the company.

The full content listing for the upcoming WWE DVD and Blu-ray set on the life and death of Owen Hart has been revealed, courtesy of the Wrestling DVD Network. The list includes all chapter titles for the documentary feature on disc one, as well as all extras, including the full list of matches selected for the package.
Bret Hart recently commented on the documentary portion of the set, sounding very pessimistic about the chances that the documentary will do a good job telling the full story of his brother’s life. Bret believes that WWE is having to walk on egg shells to cater to Owen’s widow, Martha, who is not supporting the DVD release.
Bret told the Fight Network:
“I’m looking forward to it but I’m not really optimistic that it’s going to be a great job. Martha handcuffed them so much. I...

Earlier this year, wrestling fans were shocked beyond belief on multiple occasions, as the events surrounding the Daniel Bryan situation at the Royal Rumble leading to WrestleMania unfolded and, of course, when The Deadman went on his presumed Last Ride. Unpredictable moments have been a staple of entertainment for as long as drama has existed. Climactic plot twists were themes in literature that found their way to the stage and, ultimately, were adopted by professional wrestling when it stopped being a legitimate sport and morphed into what we know it to be today.
So, what are the most shocking results in modern wrestling lore?
