 This is good y'all, it's your boy Ross back again with another video. So we're going to check out 10 WWE WrestleMania matches that didn't live up to the hype, man. This should be a good one. The one match I can instantly think of would be AJ Styles versus Shinsuke Nakamura. That match honestly should have been one of the best matches of WrestleMania history, but ultimately it kind of fell flat. And I think partially it fell flat because I don't think they just let them really tell the story. I think WWE kind of, I guess you could say had to change still on these guys. I don't think they just let them just go out there and just kill it. I don't think they did. That was a match I was so hyped about and very disappointed in him. And so this should be a good one. Appreciate all the love and support on the channel. Roll to 80K. Let's do the damn thing. In professional wrestling, hype is everything. After all, what's more important? Getting you to buy a ticket or delivering once a ticket's already been bought. But obviously both are a little important. But if you watch much or any WWE in the last few years, their answer definitely leans towards one way more than the other, much like someone with a crutch being kicked out from under them leans one way more than the other. Promotions create hype in numerous ways through a compelling storyline, a first time ever matchup, something huge on the line. And when a match's hype is met, you have an instant classic, icon versus icon, the ultimate challenge. That snooky one, do you remember? However, with how much WWE turbocharges the pomp and circumstance of WrestleMania, it's almost inevitable that some matches get hyped to the point that all they can do is disappoint. Time for a reality check. I'm Adam Hailing from Parts Fun Known and here are 10 WWE WrestleMania matches that didn't live up to hype. Before we continue with the list, we'd just like to thank the sponsor for this week's PFK list, the one, the only, Dear remember, it was the first time ever that Matt Hardy wrestled Jeff Hardy and it was good. Think about what that means. The match with the lawnmowers and the fireworks and the boat meme was better than the two men in their prime, having an anything goes match at WrestleMania. Their feud was everything WWE loves to do, especially when it's off its meds. Brother versus brother, including one brother, killing one of the other brother's dogs, both of them known for their risk taking and acts of daring do culminating in extreme rules match. How was it bad? Well, first of all, Matt one, which was the silly choice. Second, the match didn't really seem to have a beating heart. It was more just a slow procession of admittedly decent weapon spots. So that double table spot is very stupid. Indeed without that moment of story that such a personal feud needs to elevate it. Number nine edge versus Randy Orton. That match definitely should have been much better. Oh, that match should have been so much better. It just kind of fell flat. WrestleMania 36. Sometimes less is more. Sometimes more is more. And sometimes more is too large wandering around a gym in the world's least interesting found footage movie. For realsies, the best story going into WrestleMania 36 was Edge versus Randy Orton. Edge just returned and we still didn't know if he could go. Orton had not only attacked Edge, but also everyone he ever loved and also Matt Hardy. Orton was cutting the promos of his career. And then I'm sorry, but it was just so boring. It was a last man standing match, which are so disjointed and stop starty that they're hard to get right anyway. And then the what four spots and over 30 minutes, the opening RKO Edge doing the swinging. Hey, look at my dick in the gym table spot backstage and the stuff on the van genuinely. Am I missing anything? Yeah, 37 minutes. Number eight, Triple H versus Randy Orton. WrestleMania 25. Hello, Randall. Hopefully nice to see you again. Does anyone do great promo shame about the match better than middle name Keith? Well, maybe Triple H to be honest. So here they are together. Honestly, this really should have worked. Again, like the last century, there was a bonkers good feud. Orton kicking Vince DDT. This was sold. This few buildup was great. It was Randy Orton at his best heel work. Some of his best work and it feel flat. The whole home invasion segment. Oh my God, this was so good. Being Stephanie, the hilarious home invasion angle. Like in terms of temperature, few used to really get more boiling point than this. By rights, the two should have exploded in a crescendo of violence, but the match ended up falling flatter than my washboard abs for two reasons. The first wasn't WWE's fault exactly. Taker HBK was just unfollowably good. Bad luck, everyone else. The second was WWE's fault instead of giving the match. Yeah, that it was hard for them to follow that first taker on the taker Shawn Michaels match. Nobody was going to be able to follow that. I'm sorry. I don't think people in the back expected it to be as good as it was. And when it surpassed everything that was on that show, there was nothing they could do. You know what I'm saying? There was no way they could follow that, bro. A vicious stipulation to match the heat of the feud. Instead, Triple H would lose the title if he got disqualified? Yeah. What? I mean, you can kind of see what WWE was going for. Two smart wrestlers having to have a chess match rather than a blood war, but that wasn't what the viewer had been sold in the build-up. At all. Fuck. Number seven, Triple H versus Batista WrestleMania 21. Hello, Triple H. Nice to see you again. Honestly, Big Trips has three things that he really loves. Denim, the works of Gustav Klimt, and having underwhelming matches against Evolution dudes at WrestleMania. Mania 24, 25, 35, but perhaps the most disappointing is Mania 21. All in all, a very good WrestleMania. Angle HBK is an all-timer. The first money in the bank match. Lots of good stuff. However, the two title matches meant to usher in the new era of top guys for the ruthless aggression era. Both kind of sucked. Cena JBL only went about 10 minutes and was weirdly booked to end without much build-up. The main event, however, was supposed to be the big one, a huge culmination of a Batista face turn that had, up until that point, been booked to perfection. Sadly, the big title change is just a bit dull. Can you remember a single moment from the match? Like, one? One. I mean, yes, it was 15 years ago, but still, it just didn't click. Number six, Hulk Hogan versus Andre the Giant II, WrestleMania IV. I was tempted to put the main event of WrestleMania III on this list, partly just for sh** and gigs, and also because the actual match resembled two snowmen very slowly falling over each other over the course of an entire winter. Still, at least they got that moment from it, and the crowd seemed to like it. Idiot. Their rematch of WrestleMania IV, though, whoa, you know, the entire selling point of the WWF Championship tournament was a giant load of poops and butts. After a mere five minutes, it ends in a double DQ as a sloppily booked way to remove both favorites from the tournament in a giant f**k you to the people who paid to see the main entry rematch. It didn't even make sense. Hogan hit Andre with the chair first. That is a single DQ. Hogan should have been disqualified and Andre should have advanced a stupid load of old, slow-ass bullsh** and as bad as sequels can get outside of the Cars franchise. Number five, Bret Hart versus Vince McMahon, WrestleMania 26. I mean, maybe we shouldn't have expected anything out of Grandpa Mania. Bret had spent a full decade away from the ring, and Vince has been more of a f**king basket case than an athlete on the best of days, but Hot Sauce Tuesday weren't nobody expecting the match to be this f**king dreadful. Like, it's a storyline match. We get that. Vince has done a couple of great ones of those. The final conclusive payoff to the Montreal screw job. The worst case of hurt feelings the wrestling world has ever seen. Bret kicks Vince to death. Slaps in the sharpshooter. Home in time for tea and cakes. It writes itself. Instead, and honestly, reading this back, I still can't believe they did it, Vince paid off the Hart family to screw Bret one last time, thinking that his loved ones would sell him out for a dollar. Well, I mean, Bruce definitely would. Then the s**t idea was revealed to be a s**t idea over the course of 11 teeth, grindingly boring minutes as Bret very, very slowly killed Vince. He got a simple payoff. So wrong. Number four, Brock Lesnar versus Dean Ambrose, WrestleMania 32. Oh, man. That, oh, that match was awful. I expected so much more from that match and from, like, I guess the backstory behind it. Brock wasn't really trying to do anything. Dean was trying to come up with so many ways to make this match fun. Brock didn't want to do any of them. He didn't. He legitimately didn't care. So that's why the match was what it was because Brock was like, yeah, I'm not doing that s**t. I was like, damn. I was a hype for that match only because Dean Ambrose was, his character was, I don't care. I'm not afraid of you, Brock. You can f5 me a million times. I'm still going to get back up. I like that. You knew he wasn't going to win, but you wanted to see how extreme he was going to get in it. It got, it was, it was a waste of our time. One of the most famously disappointing matches of all time, not the worst match, not a dumpster fire, just a nothing that really should have been a something. Circa 2016, everyone was super hot on Dean Ambrose. He was. Absence with the Roman experiment still tanking. Hell, everyone would have preferred to have Dean in the main event instead of the big dog. We've been sentiment behind him when it was announced that someone explicitly nicknamed a lunatic was facing off against Lesnar in a street fight. Yeah, everyone got excited. Then hardcore legend started to line up to bequeath weaponry to Dean like strange grandpas handing down their vaguely racial erotica to their unwilling grandson, saying to him, you'll know what to do with this. And then in the match itself, precisely nothing was done with any of it. Yeah. Jesus Christ. Suplex city, some chair stuff. And then back to catering to eat an entire deer antlers first. Ambrose didn't look anywhere near Brock's equal. It was a waste of everybody's time. Number three, Ronda Rousey versus Charlotte Flair versus Becky Lynch, WrestleMania 35. Build up was great. Match was me. I'm sorry. I am sorry. It's just, yeah, the first time ever that women main event at the WrestleMania and it just wasn't as good as the moment surely deserved. I mean, to be fair to the three performers after over six hours of WrestleMania, two-pack Shakur could have written secretary into the stadium and people would still only have given half of a couple that was the fact storyline which directly mirror Daniel Bryan's rise to WrestleMania 30. A crowd chosen underdog who forced their way into a triple threat for two belts despite the McMahon's best wishes didn't reach anywhere near the heights that previous match. Daniel Bryan made Batista conclusively tap out Becky Lynch caught Ronda in a botched crucifix pin. One of these things is not as good as the other. Don't get us wrong, a lovely post-match moment and still something to be celebrated just could have been so much better. Number two, AJ Styles versus Shinsuke Naka. I told you, I said at the beginning of this video this had to be on the list. I don't even have to say anything. Such a disappointing match. Oh, man. Kamora WrestleMania 34. Ah, the poster boy of sure wish that had been better. When Shinsuke Nakamura won the Royal Rumble and picked AJ Styles as his opponent for WrestleMania Corey Graves marked out like the good little New Japan world subscriber that I'm sure he is. We're going to see the dream match. WWE announces the world went giddy at the prospect of seeing Styles and Nakamura doing something even close to their instant classic from Wrestle Kingdom 10. Sadly, the curse of Long Mania struck again by the two men locked up. 11 entire matches had gone by. And you know what? It's not just a schedule's fault either. This isn't that good a match. It's 20 minutes long, but the match never reaches its crucial third act. 20 minutes of setup without that final five minutes of dramatic big moves payoffs of established things and frantic kickouts. It feels like it might potentially be getting somewhere and then it just ends as the fans white sleep from their eyes, nudge their neighbor and whisper, was that it? It's heartbreaking. And number one, Goldberg versus Brock Lesnar. WrestleMania 20. I mean, I tell you in 2004, I did not know anything about WWE contracts, the NFL or the Madison Square Garden crowd. And as a young lad, I was very confused indeed as to why this objectively very exciting matchup between two unstoppable badasses suck so long, so hard and so thoroughly tight. Love your sex tape. It was hyped to the heavens and fans were really into it until it came out via those damn dirt sheets. After Mania 20, both Lesnar and Goldberg would be gone from the company. Brock to try his best as part of the fake sport football with the Minnesota Vikings and Goldberg to go wherever it is he goes whenever he's not on our television screens. I think it's the Phantom Zone. The crowd sandbagged the match and the Lesnar nor Goldberg seem to care all that much about winning them over turning out a meandering passive aggressive slog of a match which should have been what happens when a hurricane meets tornado. Bizarrely, we would have to wait 13 years to eventually see that. And that's our list. What do you think is the most underwhelming match in WrestleMania? Once they found out that they were both leaving the couch, they destroyed that match. They destroyed that match. I mean, absolutely buried both of them. There was nothing the fans could do. It was wraps. It was done. All right. They didn't care. I mean, granted, should you care? Does it matter? They're both leaving anyway. Fuck this. Fuck. Fuck you guys. We're out. We don't want to see this shit. That's literally what it was. So yeah, that makes sense. That was number one. The height for that match was astronomical and it there was nothing they could do. Bro, they the fans. No, we're good. Fuck both of you guys. The only person they cared about was Stone Cold and Stone Cold couldn't even save that match, man. So but comment down below. Let me know. What is the worst like? I guess what is the match for you if it wasn't in this video that didn't live up to the WrestleMania hype? Like it was hyped up to unbelievable height and it just fell short. What match if it wasn't on this list? What's that for you? But I appreciate all love and support. Road to ADK. Appreciate y'all kicking with me. See y'all next one. Peace.
