10 Shortest WrestleMania Matches Of All Time
The complete opposite of epic.
WrestleMania has played host to some of the longest matches in WWE history, which is befitting an event of its stature. We all remember Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels going over an hour in their Ironman stalemate at WrestleMania XII. Triple H and The Undertaker have both been involved in three matches that hit the half hour mark, with Shawn Michaels and The Rock hitting that mark twice also. WrestleMania 31 was the first 'Mania since X8 not to feature at least one match going over 20 minutes, with WrestleMania XXX containing four such epic bouts. Despite this, seven matches last year did go past the 10 minute mark. WrestleMania is where professional wrestling often gets to show itself off as the wonderful performance art it is, so performers will be hoping to get longer than three minutes to show the world what they're about. It doesn't always work out that way however. Over 31 WrestleMania events there have been a whole host of matches that were over in the blink of an eye, bouts that you will have missed if you decided to head to the fridge when the bell rang. More often than not, such short matches on the biggest stage are met with eye rolling and hand gestures, but WWE still likes to cart out the trope from time to time. In total, nine matches at WrestleMania have lasted less than a single minute, with one clocking in at just a couple of seconds after that mark. In the interest of clarity, all types of 'matches' are included here, whether they were traditional wrestling matches, boxing bouts, sumo 'extravaganzas' or thinly-veiled excuses to take Torrie Wilson's clothes off. There are also a few inconsistencies with regards to official time, but I've tried to get as close as I can with each entry. Here are the ten shortest bouts in WrestleMania history...
