Top ten moments that shocked Monday Night Raw

5. “I Am The Best WRESTLER In The World.”

On June 27, 2011, CM Punk delivered the most-epic shoot promo against the company he was leaving (or supposedly leaving). He said he was the “best WRESTLER [not sports entertainer] in the world.” That night, the WWE changed forever, especially after the Money In The Bank pay-per-view, when Punk “left the company” with the WWE title, and then a few weeks later, the prodigal WWE Champion returned as the Cult Of Personality.

6. Pillman’s Got A Gun

Brian Pillman (in my mind) was one of the most underrated talents in professional wrestling history, and one of the best there has ever been. His relationship with Stone Cold Steve Austin is one that stands alone. In the mid-late ’90s, Austin “invaded” Brian Pillman’s home while Pillman laid on his couch with a foot injury. With an unstable Pillman and his loving wife at his Cincinnati home, Austin invaded his home, beat up some of Pillman’s friends and threatened his very life, until the Austin 3:16 was met by “Pillman 9mm.” Thankfully, no one was hurt in the incident.
