10 Biggest WWE Pay-Per-View Disappointments
5. Chris Jericho Vs Edge (WrestleMania 26)
A match that unfortunately proved a long-held Vince McMahon stereotype about the power of pro wrestlers vs big stars, the Chris Jericho/Edge WrestleMania 26 World Title was devoid of heat to such a degree that no amount of excellent in-ring prowess could overcome the malaise.
The feud between the former tag team partners had struggled to inspire audiences, with Edge's failure to click as a babyface following his initially shocking Royal Rumble return becoming all-too-apparent.
Though the contest had months of in-built story thanks to Edge's real-life injury whilst the duo were tag team champions, it couldn't hold a candle to the John Cena/Batista WWE title match that followed.
With a 'SPEAR! SPEAR! SPEAR!' chant that wasn't exactly the next 'What?' and years of heel work already in the bank with audiences, Edge lacked the usual momentum of a Rumble winner and WrestleMania Number One Contender in his revived babyface persona, and clean defeat in the duo's titanically disappointing battle was the final nail in the coffin.
Edge was a heel again within a month of the failed experiment, whilst Jericho wouldn't even make it through the following week as Champion, losing the title to 'Money In The Bank' winner Jack Swagger two nights later.
