We've seen a lot of surprises in Wrestling in the past 365 days. In one year, more has happened than I would ever believe. The hunger for ratings by the WWE has made them get some real good surprises in. Like RVD in the WWE, WCW being bought, Hogan in the WWE, Flair back in the WWE, the changing from WWF to WWE, Brand Extension.
Two things that I think might happen are the following. Bret Hart recovers from his injury and decides to return to the WWE.
Steve Austin makes a surprise return at Wrestlemania 19.
Rob Van Dam wins the Royal Rumble.
Shawn Micheals wrestles one final match...against Bret Hart.
I know it was more than 365 days from now, but I marked out HUGE when Shane MacMahon stole the WCW buy from Vinnie Mac. When Shane showed up in that Nitro ring after Flair vs. Sting I screamed my ass off. I missed a lot of wrestling while I was in Afghanistan, so I'm sure that moment seems a lot more recent to me than to fans who have been watching all year round, but I had to mention it as a mark out moment. Too bad they fucked up the Invasion angle. It could have been the best story in pro wrestling for years.

Stacy week after week getting beat up and beat down, much to Stephanie's pleasure. One night Stacy can't stand it no more and start whipping out Chun Li-style offense. Helicopter spin baby!! All the wrestlers backstage watching that fateful match expecting T and A, and all the fans in the stands, do a double take and go "That's Stacy????!!!!"

I'd have to say it'd be seeing Booker winning the world title, but that's a close second for me. Mine would have to be Austin returning and jobbing to Rock. After that he can go to hell.
Respect the opinions of others. Unless they're unoriginal, uninventive morons with no class who use racial slurs and homosexual hate-language for insults. Then break the bastard down. It's 2002 ya'll. There's other races and gays a plenty out there in the real world. Get used to it.

BretHart1985: Most would say the change from WWF to WWE was not a good surprise, but in fact, sucked.
Jakegnosis: You were in Afghanistan? BIG-ASS thumbs up, buddy.
As for me, I'd mark out for a undisputed title change on RAW or SmackDown! one of these times. Has that even been done since Foley won the title on RAW a few years back?

And, of course...the one markout moment I'm waiting for: "Triple H...looks to be in control here...he's hooked Benoit's arms...looking for the Pedigree... Wait...Benoit's getting an arm free... He shoves Triple H away... CROSSFACE! CROSSFACE! CROSSFACE! Triple H is tapping! He's tapping! We have a new Undisputed Champion! Chris Benoit is Undisputed Champion! Oh, God Almighty...he did it!"
