Three WrestleMania 35 matches that were rather disappointing

WrestleMania is that time of the year when the WWE looks to draw the maximum crowd, as the fans have a lot of expectations from the Grandest Stage of Them All. The "Showcase of the Immortals", as it is also called, always features some mouth-watering matches for the fans and their hopes are high, as they expect an unforgettable spectacle to be put up by their favorite stars.

Though most of the matches have a great standard and a strong build-up, there are some matches that don't always live up to the hype that is created around them.

It was once again the case this time that while some of the matches got the audiences chanting "you deserve it" for the winners, others were bland and could not get the fans going.

Here are three matches at WrestleMania that were rather disappointing with regards to the level of the overall show.

#1 Rey Mysterio vs Samoa Joe

When you over-book an event, this was bound to happen. Such was the case with the match between Mysterio and Joe, which barely lasted a few minutes. The writers may suggest that they were trying to show the latter's dominance over yet another WWE legend, though the match was just too short for anyone to enjoy it. It actually fit in like some sort of a short commercial within the show.

What could have been a classic was turned into yet another filler, with the company creating a nostalgia act with the showcasing of the 619 on the Grandest Stage of Them All and then Rey being put to sleep with the Coquina Clutch.

Another instance of poor booking and a waste of what could have been a spectacle between the two athletes. This was nothing close to what the fans might have expected. Unfortunately, no matter how much the fans crib and complain about it now, the WWE will not rectify such errors in the future as well and continue to keep wasting their talents.

#2 Kurt Angle vs Baron Corbin

This match left the WWE audiences in shock, as their former Olympic Gold medalist lost his final match to Corbin at WrestleMania. Though a lot of pundits had already seen this coming, it wasn't really the kind of match that a legend like Kurt Angle would have wanted to end his career with.

An average match with a very mediocre ending was not what Kurt had in mind, though he had no choice but to accept his fate and get on with his job. There were some good moments in the match that might have encouraged the fans, hoping that Kurt would actually win though it just did not happen. His best years were clearly behind him already.

Giving Corbin the push as a heel was the focus of this match and though that goal was achieved, the end result was just disappointing. Kurt deserved a better end to his Hall of Fame career, though watching the match from the start, it was clearly understood that was just not going to be the case.

#3 The Main Event: Ronda Rousey vs Becky Lynch vs Charlotte

After all the hype that was built around the first ever Women's main-event at Wrestlemania, the final match was far from what the fans would have expected. The story-line was a superbly worked and everything was going according to plan, with the women showcasing some real hunger to make it to the top and expressing themselves in this well-set feud.

Despite all the build-up to the match, there were so many botches right through the actual match and the way that it ended was also controversial. For a second there, it seemed that Ronda had been part of a Screwjob 2.0 by the WWE.

However, that wasn't just the case and it was just a poorly performed match and though the fans were confused, it did actually end with a roll-up win. Of all the ways that a super-match could have ended, the writers chose that.
