10 Absolute Worst Matches In The History Of WrestleMania

10. Bret Hart Vs. Vince McMahon - WWE WrestleMania XXVI

By 2010, it's fair to state that few wrestling fans remained desperate to see Vince McMahon receive his comeuppance for the Montreal Screwjob. The vast majority actually preferred to love to hate Vince McMahon than they loved to love Hart just months after it happened.

In any event, it was rewarding to see Bret Hart return to WWE television, if only because it meant he had made (some semblance of) peace about the whole thing. The match was predicated on Hart's revenge, and in fairness, it captured his motive perfectly. Hart, having been installed as a guest bloody referee on his WCW debut, probably did daydream about smashing Vince with a lead pipe and a steel chair for ten minutes straight - but that doesn't necessarily mean it made for an entertaining simulation of combat. It was as uncomfortable for the viewer to watch as it must have been for McMahon to endure.

Hart was physically incapable and legally disallowed (as a result of his Lloyds of London insurance policy) from taking bumps - which naturally wasn't acknowledged on WWE television - so it's not as if there was scope for much else.

That said, the match went 11:07. The whole thing could have been achieved in a quarter of the time.
