Goldberg's Apex:

Through the first half of 1998, Bill Goldberg became a home grown star for WCW, the only wrestler on the roster who got over as a legitimate main event player who wasn't involved with the nWo. Then, in a shocking decision, he was booked to win the heavyweight title from Hulk Hogan on an episode of Monday Nitro in a sold out Georgia Dome in Atlanta.

The Shield Debut:

During a triple threat WWE championship match pitting CM Punk vs. Ryback vs. John Cena at Survivor Series 2012, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and Dean Ambrose ran in from the crowd clad in all black and laid Ryback out with a triple powerbomb through the ringside announce table. They would come to be known as The Shield while consistently putting on the best matches on WWE television week after week.
