10 Legendary WWE Superstars With Forgettable WrestleMania Careers
9. Yokozuna
Despite winning the WWF Championship at WrestleMania IX, Yokozuna's career on the big stage was, in a word, embarrassing. Yokozuna's WrestleMania peak was those few moments following his tainted victory over Bret Hart in Las Vegas before Hulk Hogan showed up, ready to create the biggest farce in 'Mania history. The next year was equally laughable when the mighty Yokozuna, the 641-pound sumo that had not been defeated in nearly a year, lost the WWF Championship when he inexplicably lost his balance on the second rope. That's right, after years of performing his signature Banazai Drop, the big man somehow forgot how to execute it, lost his balance, fell backwards in the most cartoonish way imaginable, and barely had his shoulders down when special guest ref Roddy Piper counted to three. A couple more WrestleManias would only see Yoko wrestle in tag matches, and despite winning two titles on the grandest stage of them all, few remember Yokozuna as a WrestleMania legend.
