00:00 In professional wrestling, hype is everything. After all, what's more important, getting you to

00:05 buy a ticket or delivering once the ticket's already been bought? Obviously both are a little

00:09 important, but if you've watched much or any WWE in the last few years, their answer definitely

00:13 leans towards one way more than the other, much like someone with a crutch being kicked out from

00:17 under them leans one way more than the other. Promotions create hype in numerous ways,

00:21 through a compelling storyline, a first-time-ever matchup, something huge on the line, and when a

00:26 match's hype is met, you have an instant classic. Icon vs Icon, the ultimate challenge, that snooky

00:32 one, do you remember? However, with how much WWE turbocharges the pomp and circumstance of

00:38 WrestleMania, it's almost inevitable that some matches get hyped to the point that all they can

00:42 do is disappoint. Time for a reality check. I'm Adam Hailing from PartsFunKnown, and here are 10

00:47 WWE WrestleMania matches that didn't live up to hype. Before we continue with the list, we'd just

00:52 like to thank the sponsor for this week's PFK list, the one, the only, RAID SHADOW LEVELS.

00:58 The unstoppable mobile game Juggernaut, and speaking of unstoppable, we need to talk about

01:03 Orcs. Orcs get a bad rap in Fancy, because to be fair, look how they're born, puts you right off

01:07 your chocolate milkshake, but in Raid, they're not all bad. In fact, some of the Orc champions

01:11 you can now play in are downright deadly, from Grohack the Bloodied, who looks like he'd be

01:15 fun at parties, to Robar, who just wants to talk to you about this book club he's setting up.

01:19 Personal favorite, Golmok Skyhude, who uses antlers in all of his decorating. These are

01:24 in addition to the more than 300 champions already part of RAID SHADOW LEVELS, which means that no

01:31 matter what manner of combat you favor, there's a fantastic option to sate your devilish desires

01:36 for destruction. Meat's back on the menu, boys. This is the best time to get started in Raid,

01:42 and if you click our link in the description or scan our QR code here on the screen,

01:45 you'll get unique bonuses worth $30. We're talking a free epic champion, Tyrell, 200k silver,

01:51 1 energy refill and 1 XP boost, and 1 ancient shard so you can summon awesome champions as

01:55 soon as you get in game. Orc that Orc. 10. Matt Hardy vs Jeff Hardy - WrestleMania

02:03 25 That deletion thing, do you remember,

02:06 was the first time ever that Matt Hardy wrestled Jeff Hardy and it was good. Think about what that

02:10 means. The match with the lawnmowers and the fireworks and the boat meme was better than the

02:15 two men in their prime having an anything goes match at WrestleF*cking Mania. Their feud was

02:20 everything WWE loves to do, especially when it's off its meds. Brother vs brother, including one

02:25 brother killing one of the other brother's f*cking dogs, both of them known for their

02:29 risk taking and acts of daring do culminating in an extreme rules match. How was it bad?

02:35 Well first of all, Matt won, which was the silly choice. Second, the match didn't really seem to

02:39 have a beating heart. It was more just a slow procession of admittedly decent weapon spots,

02:44 although that double table spot is very stupid indeed, without that moment of story that such

02:49 a personal feud needs to elevate it. 9. Edge vs Randy Orton - WrestleMania

02:54 36 Sometimes less is more. Sometimes more is more. And sometimes more is two lads wandering

03:01 around a gym in the world's least interesting found footage movie. For realsies, the best story

03:05 going into WrestleMania 36 was Edge vs Randy Orton. Edge had just returned and we still didn't

03:10 know if he could go. Orton had not only attacked Edge, but also everyone he ever loved and also

03:15 Matt Hardy. Orton was cutting the promos of his career and then, I'm sorry, but it was just so

03:20 f*cking boring. It was a last man standing match, which are so disjointed and stop starting that

03:27 they're hard to get right anyway. And then there were what, four spots in over 30 f*cking minutes?

03:32 The opening RKO, Edge doing the swinging "hey look at my dick" in the gym, the table spot backstage,

03:39 and the stuff on the van. Genuinely, am I missing anything? 37 minutes. F*cking hell.

03:45 8. Triple H vs Randy Orton - WrestleMania 25 Hello Randall, awfully nice to see you again.

03:51 Does anyone do great promo shame about the match better than middle name Keith? Well,

03:56 maybe Triple H to be honest. So here they are together. Honestly, this really should have

03:59 worked. Again, like the last entry, it was a bonkers good feud. Orton kicking Vince, DDTing

04:04 Stephanie, the hilarious home invasion angle. Like, in terms of temperature, feuds don't really

04:08 get more boiling point than this. By rights, the two should have exploded in a crescendo of

04:13 violence, but the match ended up falling flatter than my washboard abs for two reasons. The first

04:18 wasn't WWE's fault exactly. Taker HBK was just unfollowably good. Bad luck everyone else. The

04:24 second was WWE's fault. Instead of giving the match a vicious stipulation to match the heat

04:29 of the feud, instead Triple H would lose the title if he got disqualified? What? I mean,

04:34 you can kind of see what WWE was going for. Two smart wrestlers having to have a chess match

04:39 rather than a blood war, but that wasn't what the viewer had been sold in the build up at all.

04:44 F*ck. 7. Triple H vs Batista - WrestleMania 21

04:48 Hello Triple H, nice to see you again. Honestly, Big Trips has three things that he really loves.

04:52 Denim, the works of Gustav Klimt, and having underwhelming matches against Evolution dudes

04:57 at WrestleMania. Mania 24, 25, 35. But perhaps the most disappointing is Mania 21. All in all,

05:03 a very good WrestleMania. Angle HBK is an all-timer, the first Money in the Bank match,

05:08 lots of good stuff. However, the two title matches meant to usher in the new era of top guys for the

05:14 ruthless aggression era both kinda... Sucked. Cena JBL only went about 10 minutes and was

05:21 weirdly booked to end without much build up. The main event however was supposed to be the big one,

05:25 a huge culmination of a Batista face turn that had up until that point been booked to perfection.

05:30 Sadly, the big title change is just a bit dull. Can you remember a single moment from the match?

05:35 Like one? One. I mean, yes, it was 15 years ago, but still, it just didn't click.

05:40 6. Hulk Hogan vs Andre the Giant 2 - WrestleMania 4

05:44 I was tempted to put the main event of WrestleMania 3 on this list, partly just for sh*t

05:48 and gigs, and also because the actual match resembled two snowmen very slowly falling over

05:52 each other over the course of an entire winter. Still, at least they got that moment from it and

05:56 the crowd seemed to like it, idiots. Their rematch at WrestleMania 4 though,

06:00 woah, you know, the entire selling point of the WWF Championship tournament was a giant

06:05 load of poops and butts. After a mere 5 minutes, it ends in a double DQ as a sloppily booked way

06:12 to remove both favourites from the tournament in a giant f*ck you to the people who paid to

06:16 see the Mania 3 rematch. It didn't even make sense. Hogan hit Andre with the chair first.

06:20 That is a single DQ. Hogan should have been disqualified and Andre should have advanced.

06:25 A stupid load of old, slow ass bullsh*t, and as bad as sequels can get outside of the Cars franchise.

06:31 5. Bret Hart vs Vince McMahon - WrestleMania 26

06:35 I mean, maybe we shouldn't have expected anything out of Grandpa Mania. Bret had spent a full

06:39 decade away from the ring, and Vince has been more of a f*cking basket case than an athlete

06:43 on the best of days, but hot sauce Tuesday, weren't nobody expecting the match to be this

06:48 dreadful. It's a storyline match, we get that. Vince has done a couple of great ones of those.

06:53 The final, conclusive payoff to the Montreal screwjob, the worst case of hurt feelings the

06:59 wrestling world has ever seen. Bret kicks Vince to death, slaps in the sharpshooter,

07:03 home and time for tea and cakes. It writes itself. Instead, and honestly reading this back,

07:07 I still can't believe they did it, Vince paid off the Hart family to screw Bret one last time,

07:13 thinking that his loved ones would sell him out for a dollar. Well, I mean, Bruce definitely would.

07:17 Then the sh*t idea was revealed to be a sh*t idea over the course of 11 teeth grindingly boring

07:24 minutes as Bret very, very slowly killed Vince, and how do you get a simple payoff? So wrong.

07:31 4. Brock Lesnar vs Dean Ambrose - WrestleMania 32

07:34 One of the most famously disappointing matches of all time. Not the worst match,

07:38 not a dumpster fire, just a nothing that really should have been a something. Circa 2016,

07:42 everyone was super hot on Dean Ambrose. In Seth's absence, and with the Roman experiment still

07:47 tanking, hell everyone would have preferred to have Dean in the main event instead of the big

07:51 dog. With fan sentiment behind him, when it was announced that someone explicitly nicknamed a

07:56 lunatic was facing off against Lesnar in a street fight, everyone got excited. Then hardcore legends

08:02 started to line up to bequeath weaponry to Dean like strange grandpas handing down their vaguely

08:08 racial erotica to their unwilling grandson saying to him "you'll know what to do with this", and

08:13 then in the match itself precisely, f***ing nothing was done with any of it. Jesus Christ,

08:19 suplex city, some chair stuff, and then back to catering to eat an entire deer antlers first.

08:25 Ambrose didn't look anywhere near Brock's equal, it was a waste of everybody's time.

08:30 3. Ronda Rousey vs Charlotte Flair vs Becky Lynch - WrestleMania 35

08:34 I'm sorry, I am sorry, it's just… yeah. The first time ever that women main evented a

08:41 WrestleMania and it just wasn't as good as the moment surely deserved. I mean to be fair to the

08:44 three performers, after over 6 hours of WrestleMania, f***ing Tupac Shakur could

08:50 have ridden Secretary into the stadium and people would still only have given half of a s***.

08:54 Couple that with the fact the storyline for which directly mirrored Daniel Bryan's rise to

08:59 WrestleMania 30, a crowd chosen underdog who forced their way into a triple threat for two

09:04 belts despite the McMahon's best wishes, didn't reach anywhere near the heights of that previous

09:09 match. Daniel Bryan made Batista conclusively tap out. Becky Lynch caught Ronda in a botched

09:14 crucifix pin. One of these things is not as good as the other. Don't get us wrong,

09:18 a lovely post-match moment and still something to be celebrated just could have been so much better.

09:23 2. AJ Styles vs Shinsuke Nakamura - WrestleMania 34

09:27 Ah, the poster boy of "sure wish that had been better". When Shinsuke Nakamura won the Royal

09:32 Rumble and picked AJ Styles as his opponent for WrestleMania, Corey Graves marked out like the

09:39 good little New Japan World subscriber that I'm sure he is. "We're going to see the dream match!"

09:44 WWE announced as the world went giddy at the prospect of seeing Styles and Nakamura doing

09:48 something even closer to their instant classic from WrestleKingdom 10. Sadly, the curse of long

09:53 mania struck again. By the time the two men locked up, 11 entire matches had gone by. And you know

09:59 what? It's not just the schedule's fault either. This isn't that good a match. It's 20 minutes long,

10:04 but the match never reaches its crucial third act. 20 minutes of set up without that final

10:10 5 minutes of dramatic big moves, payoffs of established things and frantic kickouts. It

10:14 feels like it might potentially be getting somewhere, and then it just ends as the fans

10:18 wipe sleep from their eyes, nudge their neighbour and whisper "was that it?" It's heartbreaking.

10:22 1. Goldberg vs Brock Lesnar - WrestleMania 20

10:27 LOL. I mean, I tell you, in 2004, I did not know anything about WWE contracts, the NFL or the

10:34 Madison Square Garden crowd. And as a young lad, I was very confused indeed as to why this objectively

10:40 very exciting matchup between two unstoppable badasses sucked so long, so hard and so thoroughly.

10:46 It was hyped to the heavens and fans were really into it until it came out via those damn dirt

10:53 sheets that after Mania 20, both Lesnar and Goldberg would be gone from the company. Brock

10:57 to try his best as part of the fake sport football with the Minnesota Vikings and Goldberg to go

11:02 wherever it is he goes whenever he's not on our television screens. I think it's the Phantom Zone.

11:06 The crowd sandbagged the match and neither Lesnar nor Goldberg seemed to care all that much about

11:11 winning them over, turning out a meandering, passive-aggressive slog of a match, which

11:15 should have been what happens when a hurricane meets a tornado. Bizarrely, we would have to wait

11:20 13 years to eventually see that. And that's our list. What do you think is the most underwhelming

11:25 match in WrestleMania history? Let us know in the comments. Don't forget to like and share this
