From @DizTrain: What are some of the match finishes that genuinely surprised you? Clean finishes only.
That's a great question. There are several that come to mind, so here are just a few that I thought of right away. - Brock Lesnar over Undertaker at WrestleMania 30. I was there for that one. I remember not really getting into the match that much, then Lesnar hit that third F5, covered for the pin and that was it. We were all so quiet because of the shock. Did it really happen? Of course it did, but it was so surreal and unlike anything else I have ever felt from a lifetime of going to shows. - Owen Hart beating Bret Hart at WrestleMania 10. It's one of my favourite matches ever. I really didn't expect Owen to get the win, but when he did it was perfect and the idea behind it was clever since it set up several WWE Title matches for the rest of 1994. Owen couldn't beat him after that one match. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obwnbKlbysM - 1-2-3 Kid beating Razor Ramon. He was actually just called "The Kid" but he became the 1-2-3 Kid. This one was a shocker and really set up the idea that "anything can happen" on Raw. - Barry Horowitz wins for the first time ever! Horowitz was the biggest jobber in WWE, so when he beat Skip (Chris Candido) of the Bodydonnas it was pretty incredible. There are probably others too, but those are the ones that come to mind first.
