10 Stacked WWE Cards Which Failed To Deliver
10. WrestleMania 29
Straight away, your writer is going to acknowledge the fact that this show is still the highest grossing live event in WWE history, reeling in a whopping $72 million.
Yet, just because it made a ton of money doesn't mean that the event itself lived up to the hype, it just means you convinced enough people that it would... and you failed, Vince.
When scanning through this card you can't help but wonder how it could end up being so, well, unmemorable.
The Shield wrestling their first ever 'Mania match.
Team Hell No defending their tag titles against Big E (Langston) and Dolph Ziggler - with added AJ Lee.
Chris Jericho, The Undertaker, CM Punk, Brock Lesnar, Triple H, John Cena and The f*cking Rock!
How could this many huge names not send you home happy?
Well, Trips and Lesnar battled in a pre-Suplex City snoozefest which the former incredibly won - incredible because what the hell were they thinking? Most of the matches that didn't involved the marquee names weren't given enough time to forge anything that lived long in the memory. 'Taker and Punk did put on a classic (so there's that). But, Rock and Cena II just felt like a rehash of the previous year's main event - because it bloody was!
All in all, what looked like a deeply promising 'Mania ended up being a bloated lacklustre showcase which was quickly forgotten by the time 'Mania XXX came around.
