I'm a big fan of his but has Undertaker really ever had a moment? I mean he as the winning streak and won the title 3 times but are any of those his moment? I thought his return as the Deadman facing Kane at XX was a pretty awesome moment. |

Jericho had his moment with Shawn Micheals... the hug after the awesome match.. then the kick to the nuts with HBK colapsing into his arms... that's classic. Bingo, to the average fan, Y2J kicking HBK in the pills was more memorable then the (In My Opinion) 5* match they had |

As sad as it sounds, his moment comes from tombstoning Pete Rose a few times. I thought this year was a pretty darn good moment for him. Maybe not MOMENT, moment... but winning what's *technically* a World title, in a squash match no less, will always be remembered. I think all squash matches at WrestleMania, period, are pretty big moments. Though, sadly, the atmosphere didn't seem to be so electric for Earthquake's at WM X. |

Bruno? Lawler? Dusty? Backlund? Foley? (even though they made this a storyline and told us that his match with Edge was his WM moment).

In regards to HHH its not his X8 title win but him retaining the title at WM 16 that is his big moment. First heel to ever win the main event of Wrestlemania in a classic shocking moment. Still the only heel to win a Mania Main Event if you don't count Austin who turned mid match.

Jake Roberts, he had a couple of decent moments, but never a big one. The Honky Tonk Man stuff with Alice Cooper and the Martel blindfold match was 2nd tier stuff.

The million dollar man! he lost in the finals at wm4, no big moment I think wrestling in the main event title match qualifies as a big moment, even in defeat. |

Can't believe there is no mention of Kurt Angle. I know a lot of people will say his match with Shawn Michaels, but that's not a moment. It was a good match. I'd consider the main event with Lesnar, maybe.
Wrestlemania 16: Lost the IC and Euro titles in a threeway.
17: Beat some punk bitch.
18: Beat Kane.
19: Lost WWE title to Brock.
20: Lost to Eddie in WWE title match.
21: Beat Shawn Michaels
22: Lost World title to Rey Mysterio.

Mick Foley. Look at his WrestleMania resume: 13 - Uneventful tag team match with Vader against Owen Hart and British Bulldog. XIV - Wins tag team dumpster match as Cactus Jack with Terry Funk against New Age Outlaws. XV - Defeats Big Show via disqualification, has minor role in Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. The Rock match. 2000 - Eliminated second in Fatal Four Way main event. X-Seven - Guest referree for the McMahons match. XX - Teams with The Rock in a loss to Evolution. 22 - Loses to Edge in hardcore match, arguably his biggest WrestleMania moment was being speared through a flaming table. Jericho hasn't had a defining WrestleMania moment, but he did walk into WrestleMania x8 as the Undisputed Champion and a year later he was involved in the best match of WrestleMania XIX, so he's played a key role in the event. So Jericho gets his moment for having a good match but Foley doesn't for having a good match with Edge? |

I think it's Scott Steiner. He could have a classic match against any WWE main eventer, whether it's John Cena or a returning Hulk Hogan. Steiner is extremely underrated in general though, in my opinion at least.

Raven Scott Steiner Bret Hart Booker T DDP Goldberg Scott Hall/Razor Ramon Kevin Nash/Diesel Bret Hart - defeating Yokozuna for the WWF Title at X I'd say was a huge moment at the time. Razor Ramon - won the first ever ladder match at X. Still considered the best ladder match ever by a lot of people. I may be confused as to the meaning of Wrestlemania moment though. |

i'd say the ending of the bret/austi nmatch at WM13 was probably one of the defining moments in wrestling of that era, so i'd give bret that. |

Raven Scott Steiner Bret Hart Booker T DDP Goldberg Scott Hall/Razor Ramon Kevin Nash/Diesel Crap, I forgot about the ladder match! I need more coffee Bret beating Yoko was good and all but I wouldn't look back on it as a Mania moment. Bret Hart - defeating Yokozuna for the WWF Title at X I'd say was a huge moment at the time. Razor Ramon - won the first ever ladder match at X. Still considered the best ladder match ever by a lot of people. I may be confused as to the meaning of Wrestlemania moment though. Damn I forgot all about the ladder match! Bret beating Yoko was good but has is it really what that Mania is remembered for? |

Nash never had a good Wrestlemania moment. His match with HBK at WM XI was overshadowed by the Bam Bam/LT match, and the match with Taker the next year while good, is kind of unmemorable.
RVD never had a real Wrestlemania moment. I mean, he's won a lot of the event, but it's never been a big match other than MITB. I still think that WWE should've put the ECW title back on him at WM 23, especially since the title wasn't even defended at the show.
JBL has never had a big WM moment.
Even though Orton kept the title this year, I still feel that he hasn't had a significant WM Moment.

Bret beating Yoko was good but has is it really what that Mania is remembered for? It doesn't really matter if WMX is now mostly remembered for the ladder match. When it happened, Bret regaining the WWF title, celebrating in the ring with the whole lockerroom, and building up his feud with Owen was awesome and it's definitely a WrestleMania moment... In all honesty, there are few wrestlers who can claim having had an actual WrestleMania moment. Some may have had a "nice moment", but few of those are defining and pieces of wresting history |

For Triple H, I'd say his WrestleMania Moment was when he beat Jericho for the Undisputed title. I mean, the angle he had going into it, the long recovery process, his big return from the injury, winning the Rumble, and then winning the Undisputed championship at WrestleMania. THAT would be his Moment. That was ok, but it seemed like it was a foregone conclusion that he was getting the belt at WM18. Hogan/Rock pretty much captured the Wrestlemania moment for that particular event. |
