10 Most Infamous Backstage WWE WrestleMania Moments

10. Bury 'Em All! (WrestleMania 31)

WrestleMania 31 saw Sting transformed from a rogue vigilante battling against authority to the last soldier standing in a long-dead war, as Vince McMahon saw fit to make the Triple H match the last triumph over an organisation that had been in the dirt for 14 years. A bizarre move and a bizarre match, as D-Generation X and the New World Order mounted illogical interferences in a wild, overbooked mess, albeit one with genuine so-bad-it's-good appeal.

Arn Anderson was a road agent in WWE at the time. On a recent episode of his podcast, 'The Enforcer' claimed that Vince had specifically told his announcers to bury Sting and everything WCW-related at any opportunity, hence the feeling that WWE was trying to revive the invasion.

"I know this was fed to them," Anderson said, explaining the use of condescending terminology like "minnow in a big pond," "Sting is out of his element," and "this is WrestleMania now." Those commentators sent him six feet deep, brother. Why Vince took this route is anyone's guess, though Anderson's account, if accurate, confirms it was a direct, concerted effort from the WWE Chairman.
