Chris Sabin winning was amazing, Christian coming to TNA was the best surprise ever though honestly. Jarrett had been dominating and I thought no way he gets it so fast. The way the crowd picks up Christian and he points to the screen, that's my favorite moment in wrestling history besides Eddie and Chris being center ring at WM 20 and probably Macho Man beating Ric Flair wayyyy back in the day and the emotion after. A lot of this list isn't suprising, these are guys that earned it and people thought they could win. Sabin and Eric Young were the most actually surprising that they happened on impact randomly lol.
