#4 Hulk Hogan Drops Title to Andre the Giant
This is one of the less talked about OMG moments but given the magnitude of the match, it is very memorable on my list. In the first prime-time network television match since 1955, over 33 million television viewers tuned in to see Hulk Hogan take on Andre the Giant for Hogan's WWE Championship.
After failing to purchase the WWE Championship from Hogan, "the Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase devised a scheme to have Andre the Giant win the title for him and then hand it over. To ensure that this plan was foolproof, DiBiase hired the twin brother of Dave Hebner, who was supposed to be the original referee.

Earl Hebner, who filled in for his brother, counted to three after Hogan clearly got his shoulder up at two and the controversy ensued. The damage was done however as Hogan lost the WWE Championship, but DiBiase didn't get his wish either as it was stated that when Andre tried to hand over the title, he actually vacated it, leading to a WWE Championship Tournament at Wrestlemania IV.
