Ranking the 5 most disappointing WrestleMania main events

#3 Hulk Hogan vs Sid Justice — WrestleMania 8

How did Sid Justice main event two WrestleManias?

The only slight reservation I have about burying the ninth edition of WrestleMania is that it was very much on track with the downhill slope the company was headed in the early to mid-90s. Another horrendous showing that had perpetuated the slide to Las Vegas was the main event the year before.

By now it's been argued endlessly why the two biggest stars in wrestling in the 80s did not face off for the championship belt on the biggest stage at WrestleMania VIII, but disappointment remains the lasting taste of what we were served.

No one knows how Sid stumbled into two WrestleMania main events, but he sure won the backstage politics award because he was awful in both. The only reason his second bout with the Undertaker did not make this list is because everyone knew it would be terrible. Everyone knew this because his first closer with Hogan in Indianapolis was terrible.

#1 In the match, Sid kicked out after Hogan’s hulking up sequence and leg drop. He kicked out because his idiot manager missed the closing spot. The whole finish was poor.

#2 The reason this match finished with a disqualification was for Warrior to run out and make the save. What? Why? Huh? Why?

#3 During the event, they aired a taped interview with Hogan concerning his retirement. He made it abundantly clear in his entrance that he was taking it all in and appreciative of the moment. This amounted to nothing.

#4 Flair and Savage had a great championship match in the middle of the show! Why was that not the main event!!

To classify this main event as a disappointment is unfair to other disappointments. This was just utterly dismal.
