i'll just go over his mania matches and kind of show how he still needs that defining wrestlemania moment for himself.
WrestleMania XII- he was squashed in a minute and a half by the returning ultimate warrior in a mania remembered for the iron man match between bret and hbk. warrior also completely no sold the pedigree.
WrestleMania 13- he beat goldust in a 15 minute match that i don't really even remember at a mania remembered for the bret-austin submission match.
WrestleMania XIV- he beat owen in about a 10 minute match to retain the european title. granted, the match was good, but this mania was very much outshined by other things, such as cactus jack & chainsaw charlie's win in a good dumpster match for the tag titles, taker-kane, and of course the first austin world title win.
WrestleMania XV- he lost to kane by dq in a 12 minute match that was average at best. at the end he and chyna joined the corporation and turned heel, but this mania was remembered for austin-rock 1 at mania.
WrestleMania 2000- he retained his wwf title in a fatal 4-way in a very big let down of a match. this mania was highlighted by the triple threat ladder match, not the main event he participated in and won.
WrestleMania X-Seven- he lost a very good 20 minute match to undertaker. it just so happened that this mania was extremely good and it was outshined by austin-rock at mania 2, the tlc match, and you could say shane vs. vince was near outshining it just by it's importance.
WrestleMania X8- he won the undisputed title in a mediocre match with y2j. this was supposed to be his moment, but rock-hogan stole the show and his mania moment.
WrestleMania XIX- he retained the world title against booker t in a match that i personally liked, but the mania was stolen by y2j-hbk, and this match was also outshined by kurt-brock, austin-rock at mania 3, and to a lesser extent hogan-vince
WrestleMania XX- he lost his best mania match and the world title to chris benoit in a triple threat also involving hbk. the match itself was great, but the moment was chris benoit's not hhh's.
WrestleMania 21- he lost the world title to batista and basically made batista who he was, but this mania is remembered for kurt-hbk, and the first mitb, and i guess cena & batista's first world titles to a lesser extent
WrestleMania 22- he lost a title match to cena, this mania was mediocre, but it's remembered for edge-foley, hbk-vince, and maybe rey winning the belt, not hhh
WrestleMania XXIV- he lost a fairly decent wwe title triple threat match at a mania remembered for the nature boy's retirement
WrestleMania XXV- he retained the title in a fairly boring title match at a mania remembered for taker-hbk.
no mania moments for hhh in there
