I'd say if you were a world champ and won in the main event of WM then that is a defining moment. So Nash did in fact have one by beating Michaels at WM XI.
Hennig is one that stands out to me. He beat the Blue Blazer, jobbed to Beefcake, had a DQ finish with Bossman, jobbed to Luger, and didn't do much else on any WM. What does it say that his best WM moment was as a manager in 1992 when he pulled Macho out of the ring after the big elbow?
As far as RVD goes, I'd certainly consider him winning MITB to be his WM moment. He was probably the most over guy on that WM show with a Chicago crowd that hated everyone.

Mr. McMahon... he's always lost at WrestleMania. I'll always remember him peeking over the edge of the ring apron with his face stained with blood at WM19.

depends on what you define a moment as...to me, anything that could be played in a highlight montage is a moment.
I loved the dance party backstage at WM 23, if you consider that a WM moment then Dusty Rhodes had a moment.
Bigshow may have an awful WM record, but I consider the very image of him with Maywether or with Aikabono moments.
I dont know...its all a matter of opinion really.

I've unfortunately gotta go with two of my favorites, Mr. Perfect and Jake Roberts.
And poor Stevie Richards has been in the company for 10 years but has only appeared on Mania as a manager or in the pre-show battle royal. (I know he's not a "big name" I just wish he'd get SOMETHING at Mania one day.)

Mr. McMahon... he's always lost at WrestleMania. Yes. But winning doesn't make a moment. This is Vince's WrestleMania moment...

I thought that too, but would winning the ECW title (in 20 seconds) this year count?

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? Every Wrestlemania montage video shows a lot of classic 'Wrestlemania Moments'. One key image in those, which appears every year, is of Bret Hart holding up the WWF title at WM X. That, to me signifies a Wrestlemania moment - the event's legacy and that particular superstar's contribution to that legacy. Also, from a personal POV, that is the way I will always remember Bret Hart - standing proud as the champion. Please let's not make this a Bret Hart/screwed/whining thread.

Let's not mention Owen got one on Bret- cleanly- to begin the show. I thought that was awesome too.

Let's not mention Owen got one on Bret- cleanly- to begin the show. I thought that was awesome too. And at the end of the show, Owen Hart was looking over in jealously at Bret Hart's championship win, so while not a career main-eventer, Owen Hart also had his Wrestlemania moment. Also, moment can be defined as an entire match, or a spot that standouts in the match(ex. Hogan slamming Andre). I guess I would go with Lex Lugar. He was pushed to the moon in the WWF, but never had a true Wrestlemania moment.

What constitutes a Wrestlemania moment? I thought it was the things that always end up in the opening montage of the PPV.
