One that still cracks me up is when Paul revealed he was Kane's father by telling a story about working with Taker's father and when he was away on business, hooking up on Mama Taker. Best part is his delivery of the line...
"Your mama was nothin' but a DAMN WHORE!"

When he was heel with Kane, he was great at getting heat. Great.
My favorite moment is pretty simple.
When he returned with Undertaker at WM20. It'd been years since we seen him, and it'd been years since Undertaker was the Phenom. So the whole thing just went together perfectly. The crowd lost their minds when they were expecting the gong, and instead got "Oooh yeeeesss".

^Second that. I was there, I was amongst those that lost their mind (and was then disappointed by how little 'Taker had changed his look)

Oh, you were actually there? How cool. Although, it must have been a bit draining since the show was almost 5 hours.
During the Lesnar vs Goldberg match there's a Hogan chant. I've heard it's because there was a fan dressed as Hogan who was promoing against a fan dressed as Macho. Were you near that? Any truth to it?

It is completely true. I could see it quite well but I wasn't near it. There was a really good Austin there as well during the Eddie/Angle match.

I thought it was a pretty drastic change.
ABA had the sun-glasses, short red hair, bandana, no eye liner, leather pants, and came out on a motorcycle.
Wm20 'Taker had longer hair that was dyed black, eye-liner, the hat, the long trench coat, and the wrestling outfit he wears now, which is a tank-top deal with tights that either have his symbol or a demon's head on the side. He might have been wearing those MMA gloves he wears now, can't recall.
You know, whenever I see him do a WM entrance with the druids, I was wonder if they're afraid of catching fire. Because those torches always have flames dripping off and hitting the ground, and you know those robes would go up in a minute.

I remember one time when Taker was doing the "Let there be light" bit in the corner and whoever was backstage set off Kane's pyro instead, causing a 4 ft flame to explode about 2 feet in front of Taker's face.

It's not my favorite moment but it was a really holy shit moment for me. On RAW a three way match for the #1 contendership for the WWE Title. It was Kane vs Taker vs Mankind. I believe at the time Mankind and Kane had an alliance. Kane came out after Mankind but no Taker, the match started without him. Kane beat the shit out of Mankind and pinned him. Then Kane took his mask off to reveal it was Taker with Austin at the announce table losing his shit. That set up SummerSlam 98 which was a great PPV I remember looking forward to at the time.
