I can only speak from the 80's onwards so for me the biggest win is clearly the Warrior winning against Hogan. It took WWE's popularity to a whole new level. It was the first face vs face match. It was the first belt for belt match. It was the first time WWE's fanbase was completely split down the middle.
It created the biggest moment in wrestling. A lot has happened since then to elevate the WWE to greater heights I admit ... but in terms of match billing and victory, it was the greatest. The rest have been wins against a regime, or wins against authority figures etc .. but that was a pure wrestler vs wrestler moment.
I don't know about the younger kids who probably have their favourites, but you just had to be alive at that time to feel the truly global euphoria of the Hogan vs Warrior match and Warrior's win in the end.
