Mine would have to be Shawn Michaels winning the WHC at survivor series 02, everything about it made you proud to be a wrestling fan. Ps it can be any title.

I was never a massive Edge fan,I always preffered the Hardys and Dudleys than E&C but him cashing in on John Cena at NYR had me marking like a bitch (Interestingly, Jeff Hardy's many title wins done nothing for me). Similarly, CM Punk last year at MITB.
Christian's. Fuck me, that was beautiful.

The Rock's at Backlash 2000.

I thought you were gonna say Edge for some reason.
Christian's looked great. Tommy Dreamer's second (WWE) ECW Title win was fantastic for me as a big fan of his. Edge's first MITB cash in on Cena for the WWE Title was great. Eddie Guerrero's WWE Title win at No Way Out over Lesnar stands out as a great/emotional win. My favourite is Benoit's WHC Title win at WM 20 over H's/Michaels. Huge mark out moment for me, and a great memory.
I marked out big time when Luger beat Hogan for the belt on Nitro back in 1997. I was only 11 at the time and was still pissed at Hogan for turning into a bad guy and I was a big fan of Luger back then. So, when the NWO came out, I was depressed, thinking Luger would lose but he overcame, put Hogan in the Torture Rack and won the belt.

I also marked out for Tommy Dreamer's title win in the original ECW. Didn't get to see the match because for some reason, ECW never showed it but I really felt the post match promo Tommy cut about how he never wanted to make it at Wrestlemania & Starrcade but he made it in ECW and that his title win was for his fans, friends in the back, friends in other companies and his friends up in the heavens. Really heartfelt promo that made his win that much better, especially considering he didn't ever want to become a champion.

After that, I'd say Dreamer & Raven winning the ECW Tag Team titles from the Dudleys, who were going to leave ECW with the belts. Dreamer tried to stand up for ECW but was alone and the Dudleys threatened to "break his neck" like they did his girlfriend, Beulah. Then out of nowhere, Raven, who was Dreamer's mortal enemy for 2 years, returns and becomes champion with Tommy Dreamer?

One that I dont think gets mentioned nearly as enough as it should is Kurt Angle at Unforgiven 2001. It was an amazing match to an amazing feud between two of the best at the time and with the title in the hands of Austin over on the Alliance side of things, the WWF were looking in a bad way and needed that win, they had to win that match. The match was also in the home town of Kurt with his friends and family in attendance which added to the feel of the title match.

When the back and forth classic came to an end and Kurt won his family came in to celebrate with him and soon after the rest of the roster and team WWF entered the ring and put him on their shoulders at the end of the show. Very memorable moment.

Christian's WHC win at Extreme Rules because it was the most overdue win ever.
definitely when Chris Benoit won the world title at Madison Square Garden. That could not have been booked more perfectly imo. The raw emotion from Benoit, to JR's fantastic commentating, to the hug with Guerrero was just so awesome imo.

Edge at New Years Revolution 2006 and Christian at Extreme Rules 2011.

I was always a huge fan of Edge & Christian, so just seeing Edge win the WWE Championship was amazing enough. However, I think what made Edge's title win that much more incredible was that I don't think anybody was really expecting for him to cash in the way he did. It was the first Money in the Bank briefcase, so of course, the usual cash-in method hadn't been established yet. Some may have known that it would happen that way, but I was completely shocked and I am not ashamed to say that I, along with my brother, jumped around my living room in excitement.

As for Christian, his title win was even more emotional for me, I think. For me, as a huge fan of his, no day was more devastating than that 31st of October, 2005, when I logged on to find out that he was quitting WWE. And that was the same day that my brand new Christian t-shirt arrived in the mail. I had always wanted to see him as WWE Champion or World Heavyweight Champion, but when he quit, I felt as if I would never get to see that happen.

So, to see Christian not only return to WWE, but also finally win the World Heavyweight Championship, was like a dream come true to me. It was all so perfect. Christian climbing a ladder, pulling down his first World Heavyweight Championship, with Edge standing on the apron, watching, in tears, as his best friend pulled the world title down. The Edge & Christian story was kind of, in a way, completed there. For me, personally, there will never be a greater moment. I could have stopped watching wrestling right there on that night. I felt one hundred percent satisfied that I got to see that happen.

I know I kind of cheated by picking two, but I can't choose between Edge and Christian. They're both my favorite wrestlers of all time. Can't choose one over the other. For me, those title victories go hand-in-hand. As long as I got to see those two moments, I'm happy and I feel like no other title victory will ever mean as much as to me.

Shawn Michaels first big title win, the whole boyhood dream was really built up and the win carried so much emotion that you felt for him. Other wins were Eddie Guerrero's win and Christians WHC win all of these because of the emotion behind them.
Definitely when Eddie won and his celebration after it.
It's hard to choose just one. I loved Eddie's win, Benoit's, Edge's first win and Christian's first win. I marked out for all of them, so I can't put one above the other between those four.

I enjoyed that, wanted him 2 win title bak for WWF, also Eddie beats Lesnar, Benoit's WM20 win, Edge's NYR06 win, Christian's ER11 win, Punk's MITB11 win & Rock's Backlash00 win
