Usually, people will say Hogan slamming Andre or Ali referee'ing the first WM main event, but what are some others to YOU that aren't that noticed or not as talked about? I've watched wrestling since about '90 or something like that so i couldn't say "Hogan slamming Andre" or "The Mega Powers Collision". Mine are:
V: Matt Hardy & Bubby Ray Dudley going through four tables at WM 17. Just a nice bump and the best of that evening. I really didn't know that they would do that and it made me have a "holy shit" moment when i watched it.
IV: Undertaker/Cena entrances at WM 23. Those just kicked so much ass it wasn't even funny. Undertaker looked like he could have been a superhero or some shit that night lol. Cena's was just creative as hell and gave him a couple of cool points back for the time being. But both were n:y:ce.
III: Bret Hart winning the title and other wrestlers coming out to congratulate him at WM 10. Just a good moment because of two reasons: He was their biggest star then, like him or not. Also, i was tired of that Lex Luger push.
II: The Rock kicking out of the Stone Cold Stunner at WM 17. That whole match was classic but the way it ended was spectacular. Around that time, people knew about the outcome of matches via the internet, but i don't remember ANYONE seeing that ending coming. I was pulling for either man, but when The Rock kicked out, that was just a moment for me for some reason. The look on SCSA's face when he sat up after the kickout: Pricele$$.
I. Benoit winning the title at WM 20. That ending was so damn emotional and important to REAL wrestling fans who have followed Benoit all his career. Those tears he and Eddie had weren't those fake Michaels tears at WM 12 or Cena's little "breakdown" at WM 23, those were real ass, "finally" emotions. Great moment for the WWE and wrestling, period.

In no particular order
1. Shawn Michaels winning the title at WrestleMania 12
Huge HBK mark, this was the culmination of everything I had wanted from him, and to beat Bret in the middle of the ring after one plus hours was awesome.
2. ECW reforms on Raw, this was awesome up until they joined WCW
"Feel this moment JR! Feel this moment, Feel it for the rest of your life!" Just watching the "WWE-ECW guys turn around and nail the non-WWE ECW guys was outstanding.
3. Brock Lesnar wipes Hogan's blood on his chest after 'killing' Hulkamania
Huge Brock Lesnar mark, hated Hogan and this was the first time I had genuinely seen someone destroy Hulk Hogan.
4. RVD vs Jerry Lynn - Every time
Awesome matches, every time, they changed each time as well. This was to me, one of the primary reasons to watch EC-Fuckin-W (yes, I'm an ECW mutant)
5. Shawn Michaels slams Marty's head through the Barbershop window
The start of it all for good 'ol HBK
Honorable mention - Most all Four Horseman promos sans the era of Mongo, the Jake Roberts promo on Dibiase, Paul E.'s worked shoot on Vince on Smackdown.

The atmosphere of Rock v Hogan @ WM18 - I had goosebumps and I was never a big fan of either men (well, Rock as a face anyways)
Owen over Bret / Bret over Yoko @ WM10 - This is a kinda hindsight one as only now can I appreciate that booking.
HBK taps to Angle @ WM21 - This was a truly breathtaking match and right up to the event rumours were flying that this would be Angle's last match. I was actually screaming "Tap! Tap!".
Hogan v Warrior @ WM6 - As a kid this was the match, looking bad it was a truly awful match but it just felt BIG!

Is it me or have the last few Wrestlemanias run together? As in it's kind of hard which match went to which Wrestlemania unless you really think about it?
After 20 everything's the same. Cena, Michaels, Triple H, Batista.
