10 Absolute Worst Matches In The History Of WrestleMania
8. Miss WrestleMania Battle Royal - WrestleMania XXV
At WrestleMania XXV, the inflated number of fans in attendance were thoroughly deflated when they were subjected to a torturous, ten minute concert by Kid Rock. It was so unnecessarily lengthy that it would have lessened anticipation for Shawn Michaels Vs. The Undertaker - that it preceded the Miss WrestleMania Battle Royal at least meant there was time to go for a p*ss and get the drinks in.
As Kid Rock finished his performance with a song I'm nowhere near masochistic enough to look up the title of, the Divas made their entrance together, cavorting suggestively around the nu-metal hick. Yes, the same Divas who were due to smash one another's faces in seconds later. To be fair, there probably wasn't time to orchestrate separate heel and face entrances. Room had to be made for that fifth Kid Rock classic.
It was never going to be good, featuring as it did a smattering of barely-trained eye candy who weren't even burdened with the task of flying over the top rope. Being delicate flowers, they just had to leave the ring whichever way they so chose. "There's so much action, I can't keep up with it all!" remarked Jerry Lawler.
It's not clear what he was watching, though it's fair to assume his carnal imagination got the better of him. It was an indistinguishable mesh of tennis match grunting, punches and kicks. It was so difficult to parse that even the fully-prepared commentary team only noticed the returning Sunny and Molly Holly midway through.
Santino, as "Santina Marella", won the match. The whole thing was a five minute set-up of a desperately unfunny punchline.
