Once again, Vince's fantasy with big men heels led him to make the wrong decision.

Yokozuna in size was a wonder but he was terrible at telling a good wrestling story. His aura alone only warranted a mid-card place, his wrestling ability didn't even deserve to be on the card. Both of his main event matches were forgettable in terms of wrestling, but at least significant for the moment.

His first appearance was a championship match against Bret Hart which was embarrassingly overshadowed by Hogan beating him a few minutes later.

His second pit-stop in the Mania main event was embarrassing for different reasons, it was embarrassing because, on the same night, Shawn Michaels and Razor Ramon had an instant classic. An instant classic that put the 'alleged' main event to shame on all fronts.
