Long lists are fun. Only included WWE here but there's one TNA one right at the end.

 

The Radicalz turn up on RAW, January (?) 2000

The Undertaker returns, Judgment Day 2000

Haku returns (what? I enjoyed it), Royal Rumble 2001

Linda McMahon rises from her chair and kicks Vince in the nuts, WrestleMania X-Seven

Stone Cold sides with McMahon, WrestleMania X-Seven

The various great video packages of the decade ('My Sacrifice', that Kid Rock 'History' one, etc)

Hulk Hogan receives an extended standing ovation on SmackDown, May 2002 (this one sticks in my mind, probably due to the great editing job they did, with little tricks like going to an ad break, then coming back and the ovation was still going on)

Rey Mysterio dives from the cage on his first show, July/August 2002

Triple H hammers Shawn Michaels with a sledgehammer after Shawn proves he's still great, Summerslam 2002

Hollywood Rock, early 2003

Roddy Piper returns, WrestleMania XIX

Benoit wins the Royal Rumble, 2004

Eddie Guerrero wins the title, No Way Out 2004

Trish turns on Jericho, WrestleMania XX

The return of the Deadman, WrestleMania XX

Benoit wins the title, WrestleMania XX

The ending of WrestleMania XX

Batista turns on HHH, early 2005

Sandman's entrance, One Night Stand 2005

K-Fed, sometime in the middle of the decade

Edge cashes in, New Year's Revolution 2006

Flaming table!, WrestleMania XXII

Joey Styles goes rogue on RAW, 2006

Terry Funk cuts an amazing promo on Foley before their ONS match, WWE.com 2006 (let us not forget the other great WWE.com moments of the decade, like, um ... Lunchtime Suicide...)

CM Punk debuts at the Hammerstein Ballroom on ECW, 2006

Joey Mercury's face explodes, Armageddon 200(6?)

Save_us.222, autumn 2007

Umaga kicks the shit out of Steve-O, RAW 2007

"I'm sorry, I love you", WrestleMania XXIV

Ric Flair's retirement ceremony on RAW, 2008

Various great Hall of Fame speeches (Heenan, Flair, etc)

Steamboat's still great, WrestleMania XXV

 

 

The most standout moment for TNA is probably Elix Skipper walking the cage at Turning Point 2004.

 

If I had to choose one overall I might pick the TNA one...

 

EDIT: Ah, I can edit again. So yeah, in addition to the Joe/Angle headbutt, there's Eddie Guerrero's heel turn from May 2005 and the first Mayweather/Big Show confrontation at No Way Out 2008. Both were outstanding.

I wouldnt call that a trick. It was all legit. The reason they went to break, is because Hogan aloud the crowd to continue for about 15 minutes, and the reason they went to an ad break (since it's a taped show) is to give them a legit point to cut out all the cheering and Hogan standing there doing nothing. At the time it was joked that Hogan's crowd reactions were longer than his matches.

Your greatest moment of the last 10 years was a jobber doing a spot that made no sense and almost botching it?

Thanks to the reminders above I'd like to add Mr Perfect returns to WWE in the 2002 Royal Rumble to my nominations. That was a great moment.

 

And now that I think about it - Maven eliminating Undertaker from the 2002 Royal Rumble should be on there too. :thumbsup:

Nay, not really. That'd be silly.

 

Can't seem to edit my post so here's another one:

 

The Kurt Angle/Samoa Joe headbutt, Impact, 2006. It was cool.
