Wrestlemania Moment
There's not a formula for achieving that Wrestlemania Moment.
It just happens.
Wrestlemania moments are forever etched in the history books. As a wrestler, you'll never be forgotten if you can achieve this feat.
Think back at all the moments that still get talked about today.
Remember when Hulk Hogan slammed Andre the Giant at Wrestlemania 3? Sure you do. Everyone does.
The match between Ricky Steamboat and Randy Savage is still talked about 21 years afterwards.
Shawn Michaels and Scott Hall put themselves on the map with a tremendous performance in their ladder match.
Stone Cold Steve Austin became a fan favorite as he passed out from the pain of Bret Hart's Sharpshooter.
A lot of fans have turned their backs on Chris Benoit, but you can never forget that heartwarming moment he had in the ring with Eddie Guerrero at Wrestlemania 20.
Moments like these will forever be talked about.
The Next Moment
When you look at the card for Wrestlemania 24, there's a few potential moments waiting to happen.
As always, the Money in the Bank match is constantly a candidate for a Wrestlemania moment. Something about that match makes the wrestlers try even harder to impress.
Ric Flair is well past his prime, but considering the circumstances, don't be too surprised if the Nature Boy and Shawn Michaels pull out a Wrestlemania moment.
The match between Floyd Mayweather and the Big Show isn't expected to be a technical classic by any means, but they might be able to create a new Wrestlemania moment.
There's been a lot of bad things said about Triple H and John Cena, but when it comes down to performing in a big event, they both step up.
Don't be too surprised to see them working together and carrying Randy Orton to a great triple threat match.
The Undertaker knows that his career is coming to a close soon, so you know he'll try to leave as many lasting memories as possible.
He came through last year and put on a match of the year candidate with Batista in their World Heavyweight Championship match.
Edge is a good in-ring performer, and he's the type that steps up in big situations as well. He'll match the Undertaker's intensity in the match.
