Ok so I'll give a disclaimer that I tried going through different forums to see if this thread was brought up but couldn't find any about this so I'm writing, please don't penalize me.
So I was watching some old ECW stuff and came across the Anarchy Rulz triple threat match with Tazz/Awesome/Tanaka. And it made me think about matches that may not have seemed like it at the time, but were moments where you saw the torch passed in that organization. I wanted to ask you guys what you think the best torch passing moment was in wrestling. I know some of you may say Flair to Michaels in WM 24, now while Flair was retiring I don't think you technically can call that a passing of the torch only cause it was going to a man who was later on in his career (HBK), but if you can make a good argument about it go nuts. For me, like I said earlier it is that same triple threat match, because of the status that Tazz built for himself in wrestling based on his work in an indy promotion like ECW, he parlayed that reputation into WWE and a long running career both in ring and out, and he allowed for the result of Anarchy Rulz to happen because I believe he always had ECW's best intentions in mind.
