The first two without question. They were major global pop culture events, especially the first. Even your friend's great grandma knew who the Megapowers and Megabucks were. Not really a good match, but the spectacle of it was unreal.

No one alive then will ever forget when Zeus attacked Hogan at Saturday Night's Main Event leading up to Summerslam. I hated the Zeus angle even back then. He wasn't really a wrestler, it showed, and it got stale awfully quick.

None of the events that followed these two came close to the same stature.

That Sgt. Slaughter worshiping Iraq angle was horrific.
