2) WWE Survivor Series 1997 - Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Sometimes a WWE event is memorable for infamous reasons above all else. That is exactly the case with Survivor Series 1997. The company was in the midst of a creatively rich year, but WWE Champion Bret 'The Hitman' Hart was on his way out of the company and set to defend against his real-life rival Shawn Michaels in his home country of Canada.
From the Centre Bell in Montreal, Quebec, the fans witnessed history before their eyes. The Heartbreak Kid put the Sharpshooter on The Hitman and Vince McMahon demanded the bell to be rang. The Chairman screwed his long-tenured top star and the scenes that followed were surreal. Hart spat in McMahon's face before destroying the commentary table and equipment at ringside.

The show also saw Stone Cold Steve Austin regain the WWE Intercontinental Championship from Owen Hart, Kane dominated Mankind and Ken Shamrock was the sole survivor in a five-on-five elimination match against the Nation of Domination. There was definitely some entertainment sprinkled throughout the card, but the main event and post-match antics will be something everyone never forgets.
1) WWE WrestleMania X-8 - Toronto, Ontario, Canada
WWE WrestleMania 18 might just be the only event that is remembered for the right reasons, unlike Survivor Series 1997. The Show of Shows returned to the SkyDome in Toronto and featured one of the biggest dream matches in the history of the business.
Hollywood Hulk Hogan returned to WWE along with Scott Hall and Kevin Nash of the NWO. On his first night back on Raw, The Rock confronted the legend and challenged to a showdown at WrestleMania 18. The NWO brutally assaulted and took out The Great One on that night, setting the stage for a bitter rivalry to be concluded at the Grandest Stage of Them All.
The Toronto crowd shocked everyone with their undying support of Hollywood Hulk Hogan. They were given the leader of the NWO, but all the people saw the red and yellow Real American. The Rock and Hogan put on a spectacle that had every fan on the edge of their seat before the People's Champion defeated the Immortal One.
The show also saw Triple H defeat Chris Jericho to win the WWE Undisputed Championship. Jazz retained her Women's Championship over Trish Stratus and Lita.
Rob Van Dam won the Intercontinental Title over William Regal as well. There was solid wrestling up and down the card with Kurt Angle vs. Kane and a wild Undertaker vs. Ric Flair clash. WrestleMania 18 is everything that Canada could have wanted from the Grandest Stage of them All.
