Most Disappointing Wrestlemania Matches Ever That Had Big Hype
Hogan vs. Sid Justice at WM 8 would be a big one for me, even though the ending was awesome with Warrior returning, I thought the match sucked.

It runs a distant second though to Goldberg vs. Brock Lesnar at WM 20. That was an utterly horrible match. Even with Austin as the special ref, and in MSG. Those guys failed on that night. Awful.

What other matches come to mind?

John Cena vs Shawn Michaels - Wrestlemania 23:

This is simple. Not a very good match. The classic they had on Raw a couple of weeks later should have been the Wrestlemania match. Very disappointing.

Randy Orton vs Triple H - Wrestlemania 25:

This should have been a huge blow off match after an intense feud, not to mention all the history. Instead the crowd was dead, it was slow, boring and in all honesty, nothing happened. No flow, no outside involvement (not saying that there had to be but it certainly would have spiced the awful match up a bit after the 2 month build involved Vince, Shane, Stephanie and Legacy). Also, Batista returned the next night on Raw. Would have been a memorable Wrestlemania moment and saved the match to have had him involved.

Because the words "John" and "Cena" in tandem require whatever follows it to automaticaly be shit on, no matter how good it may or may not be in reality. It's an unwritten IWC rule, y'know!

Goldberg vs. Lesnar. I honestly don't remember the build up to the feud and whether it was good or horrible, but those two in a ring should have been awesome. It probably didn't help that both were leaving at that point.

Seriously tired of these excuses! He got in the ring, WWE built part of WM around this match to increase interest and increase the chance of hard working people to drop 60 dollars atleast on PPV if not much more live. The match sucked, simple, garbage, one big let down, nothing changes that fact. If you can't go, then don't go.

Oh yeah, basically anything Hogan was in seriously, I go back to re-watch those matches and it is painful, with maybe the exception of Warrior and The Rock.

After he returned from WCW in '98 his character presence was gone.

The Bossman was an incredible character. His match with the Mountie at Summerslam '91 where the loser had to go to jail was classic.

Just saw that on the Summer Slam Recall, and yes it was classic. The interview before the match with the Bossman was classic, let me see if I could dig up that interview.

HHH vs. Randy Orton at WM25. It should have been an exciting match, but it wasn't, obviously.

Close close 2nd is Bret Hart vs. Vince. Actually they may be tied.

WM 2000 (WM 16) main event of The Rock vs Triple H vs Big Show vs Mankind. Each wrestler had a McMahon in their corner and the McMahons themselves were in a bitter family splitting feud.

Big Show didn't even last for 5 minutes in the match while the ending turns out that Vince and Shane McMahon pretended to hate each other and helped Triple H retain the title.

A lot of Wrestlemania 2000 was strange. There seemed to be a lot of tag matches which seems odd for WM.
Also, little offtopic fact: This event was the 1st time I ever saw WWF if I recall.

I love Wrestlemania 2000 and it's main event. The main event is one of my favorite Wrestlemania main events ever. I guess that's just the difference in opnions.

I have to disagree with Cena-Michaels at WM23. I was there and loved the match.

The whole Bret Hart-Vince match to me, and again I was there so its easy to judge ones I was at, was disappointing. No, never expected a classic. But the match DID have big hype, and thats what the thread is all about.

Reasons it sucked
1. Bret's new music
2. Bret's "wrestling" gear
3. The lumberjacks.

I understand that Bret wanted to protect his legacy and be himself now because he wasn't the same Bret Hart. So new music and no Pink and Black tights. Well, that takes away a lot of the fun of the match for me. We don't want to see a new Bret Hart. And we didn't need that long stupid promo of Bret screwing Vince or whatever, with the whole Hart family...that without Owen and Stu, no one really cares about.

This match wouldn't have sucked if it was booked by me. Bret still comes out to his good music, comes out in his pink and black, kicks Vince in the nuts, stomps him for a bit, sharpshooter. Over in 3 minutes. Short and sweet.

So I agree with those who did say they were disappointed in the match. It wasn't entertaining at all despite the buildup.

1) The music doesn't make the match any better/worse.
2) He would have looked awful in the tights. I'm sure he knows this and that's why he doesn't wear them.
3) A three minute match isn't a very good payoff for a fued dating back 13 years.

I'm not saying that the match was good by any stretch of the imagination, but your ideas on how to make it better are absurd.

And to answer the question, since I was there, again... I didn't care for Jericho and Edge this year. Thought it was very dull.

I really thought Batista and Cena was 10 times better than Jericho and Edge. And I'm not a Batista fan.

And just to throw out an opinion, I was at Wrestlemania 22 in Chicago, my hometown...and I thought this show sucked as a whole. Mark Henry vs Taker was disappointing. Although when Taker faces guys not named Kane, HHH, and of course HBK...its not going to be very exciting.


Not bragging about going to a few Manias either...just easier to remember what I liked and didn't like.

I actually love Cena/HHH from Mania 22. The crowd was epic hot and they put on a great match. i think the dislike for the match comes from fans who wanted to see Cena job but because he didn't, it left a stigma on the match itself.

For me, HHH/Orton from last year was an epic let down. They had, arguably, the hottest, most personal feuds in recent memory. Everything was in line for a great match. And it's not as if these two guys are known for putting on stinkers. But the match was slow, dry, and just didn't have that same intensity that the weeks of television preceding it was packed full with.

Orton, even though he lost, should have came out of that match looking like a monster. He should have dominated the whole time looking like the vicious, vindictive ruthless monster they had spent months building him up as. Instead, we got an Orton who could barely keep up and looked useless the end of the match. I really felt Orton's character lost a lot of steam at that point.

The booking should have had Vince and co. coming out and saving Hunter's ass so the end was a family united to defeat a common evil, which still would have had Orton looking good even though he lost.

Hart/McMahon was meant to be a WrestleMania spectacle, not a match. Saying you were disappointed in that is like saying you were disappointed in Big Show/Mayweather.

The thing is, I actually thought Big Show/Mayweather was very entertaining.

Big Show/Akebono....now there's another story.
