Every wrestler has had his or her moment, regardless of never winning a world championship or being a glorified jobber. They may have been in the midcard their entire career, but within that time there had to be one moment they're especially proud of. And even if someone did win a world title, it doesn't necessarily mean it was their finest moment.
So today's objective is to take any wrestler and pinpoint his or her finest moment.
I'll start by saying Jeff Hardy's finest moment was his ladder match with the Undertaker. Sure, he's a multi-time tag team and intercontinental champion and has had so many other great matches, but the one with Undertaker was his one moment that really stood out most.
And I'll move on to Randy Orton as someone having a better moment than winning a world championship, although, in his case, he did have a forgettable one to begin with. But, to date, I'll say his finest moment was his street fight with Mick Foley at Backlash 2004. A great match that got him lots of attention, a win over a veteran and some respect, seeing that he was willing to take massive punishment.
So what do you all think?

I'd have to say my favorite shining moment was when Austin fought Bret Hart at WM13. Yes he technically lost the match but this match catapulted him right into superstardom. It's no mistake that he was immediately put in for a push for the IC title. Leading up to this match he hounded Bret, lost to him at SS '96, broke into Pillman's house...everything to get him heat but the fans just couldn't help but cheer for him. He fought his ass off in the WM13 match even though he was bleeding...for real. This is one thing that showed the real world that wrestlers do bleed for real. Then after he passed out and Shamrock stopped the match, he fought off any help. It was at that point that McMahon had to realize that Austin would change the face of wrestling. This is also my choice to when the Attitude Era truly began.
