3 elements needed for a WWE PPV to be a classic

#2 The moments

And the worst part is, he totally landed on his keys

Every now and then, you'll read something on wrestling, written by a pretentious jerk, trying to tell you that "In the end, pro wrestling is all about moments." Well, that pretentious jerk is me, and I'm totally right. And who are you calling a jerk, pal?
