1. Kane's Debut (1997)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvDn9kWTVwE Unquestionably the greatest debut in the history of the WWF; Kane's debut had been talked of for months by Paul Bearer, who had set out to try and mentally torment his former charge The Undertaker. Talking of the brother "Kane" that Undertaker had long since assumed was killed in a fire, Bearer told him that Kane was alive and was coming for revenge. Yet at no point did it seem that Kane was actually arriving, as Undertaker moved on to Badd Blood to face Shawn Michaels in the first ever Hell in a Cell match. Just as it seemed that Undertaker had the match won, the arena lights cut out. Ominous organ music played. Pyro shot out from the stage and a seven foot monster was walking to the ring, accompanied by Paul Bearer. Vince McMahon screamed on commentary "That's gotta be-that's gotta be Kane!" The Big Red Machine ripped the steel door off the cell, entered the ring and in one quick swoop, hoisted his big brother up for his own Tombstone Piledriver. The atmosphere surrounding that debut remains one of the greatest of all time, sparking off one of the most successful and prolific careers in the company's history - and one that is still going strong to this day.
