WrestleMania is the flagship event for WWE, where legends are made, the future is set, and history is created. Since it first hit the scene in 1985, The Show of Shows has treated its audience to memorable classics with the likes of Shawn Michaels, Undertaker, and so many Hall of Famers.

But for all the memorable ones, there is always one that completely failed. This has led to some being worse than expected, while others becoming infamous. Here is a brief rundown of some of the worst WrestleMania matches that WWE has witnessed.

Vince McMahon vs. Pat McAfee

This spontaneous match in 2022 remains one of the most nonsensical ideas WWE has ever had on its biggest stage. Vince McMahon had just beaten Austin Theory via newfound talent from Pat McAfee. He decided to challenge the man on a now-76-year-old Vince.

What led to this was a ridiculous display that contained legitimate comic relief but had little in terms of actual psychological or sentimental pull. A finish with Vince winning with a football kick to the sternum had laughable moments, but even Stone Cold Steve Austin's intervention did little to make this significant.

Kurt Angle vs. Baron Corbin

A legendary swan song was warranted by Kurt Angle. Instead, his matches at WrestleMania became one of the event's greatest disappointments. Fans were pumped up to watch him wrestle John Cena, finishing out a beautiful full circle in his career.

Instead, WWE scheduled a meaningless six-minute contest with Baron Corbin. There was no fire, no drama, nor reverence for a legendary career in this contest, which concluded with Corbin's decisive victory.

Michael Cole vs. Jerry 'The King' Lawler

What was thought to be a week-long series of comments between these two men quickly became one of the biggest disappointments of this WrestleMania event. With Stone Cold Steve Austin being the special ref, this match unnecessarily dragged on for 14 minutes.

Jerry "The King" Lawler walked away with a victory, only for the outcome to be overruled by a hidden member of management.

Roddy Piper vs. Mr. T

A boxing match as part of WrestleMania was a dubious proposition from the outset, and this one did not disappoint. Neither Piper nor Mr. T was well-received by the audience, and the match itself seemed to drag and lack any real purpose or fulfillment. The audience watched in stony silence as the bout ended in a disqualification after a grueling 13 minutes.

The Undertaker vs. Giant Gonzalez

Undertaker's famous WrestleMania winning streak is sullied by one very noticeable tactic. Giant Gonzalez was a powerful but inexperienced wrestler who barely had the skills to keep pace. His matches had a very awkward and plodding pace and featured a strange chloroform-based finish involving a disqualification. Indeed, Undertaker has said the experience pulled him down in every possible way.
