Well, WrestleMania is going to be weird this year, isn't it?

Because of You Know What, WWE's biggest show of the year will take place in front of an empty arena for the first time ever. Although, knowing Vince McMahon, he'll probably still find a way to tell us that 40,000 people were there.

Whether the bizarre, two night, empty stadium show will go ahead or it'll get postponed until the summer, WrestleMania 36 will be one to remember, for one reason or another.

Let's hope it's not the same reason that these ten 'Manias are remembered.

Choosing the right match to close WrestleMania can make or break the pay-per-view and even a great main event match can be ruined by a bad closing spot.

These ten horrible happenings left a sour taste in the mouths of everyone who tuned into 'Mania that year - even more so for the people who'd forked out thousands of dollars to go to the event in person.

Botches, bad booking, and straight up terrible wrestling are all at fault for these awful endings.

Let's take a look back at some moments that WWE wishes nobody was there to see - here are the ten worst WrestleMania endings of all time.

10. WrestleMania 29

WrestleMania XXVIII is the most-bought wrestling pay-per-view event of all time and that is thanks, in part, to its main event of The Rock vs. John Cena.

The match between two icons of their respective eras was a huge attraction, because many thought it would never happen. It was even sold under the tagline "Once In A Lifetime".

However, as The Great One would say, "It doesn't matter what your tagline is!"

Just one year on from their first encounter, Cena and The Rock met once again in the main event of WrestleMania, this time for the WWE Championship. John avenged his loss to Rocky from the previous show and won the title for the 11th time.

Fans were pretty ticked off at this match for a number of reasons. Firstly, it completely invalidated the previous year's selling point; a fact that was especially frustrating once it was revealed that this had been WWE's plan right from the start.

Secondly, it was clear that The Rock ending CM Punk's mammoth title reign at the Royal Rumble was done purely to get the belt back on Cena. The Rock was reduced to a transitional champion and Punk was basically forgotten.

A frustrating time indeed.
