10 Over-Hyped Wrestling Main Events NOBODY Even Remembers Now

10. John Cena Vs The Rock (WWE WrestleMania 29)

Nicknamed "Twice In A Lifetime" as a riff on WWE's own shameless marketing of the original bout one year earlier, John Cena and The Rock's WrestleMania 29 WWE Championship match was always part of a several-year plan in conjunction with 'The Most Electrifying Man In Sports Entertainment'. But as far as plans went, it just wasn't a 'Great One'.

John Cena getting "made" by The Rock was a fine idea in theory, but WWE were years late to the execution of it. The feud was hotter when it was an actual rivalry rather than a battle for the belt or the intended mutual respect to follow. 'The Champ' was irrefutably the company's biggest star and well on his way to iconic status without requiring Rock or anybody else to raise his hand. The payoff simply wasn't the grand finale the organisation expected it to be.

A weaker match subjectively, it also couldn't live up to the box office expectations set by the pair's monster effort the year prior. Over 150,000 people were less inclined to buy the spectacle the second time around, and - like the show itself - it's rarely revisited around WrestleMania season.
