WrestleMania IX might've been safe from wrestlers going long, but the next year's event sure wasn't. For the third year in a row, WrestleMania failed to deliver all of its advertised matches.

Despite delivering on a decade-defining, brand new match concept, Shawn Michaels and Razor Ramon went way over their allotted time at WrestleMania X. Supposedly, the Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match was given just ten minutes, but when it was all said and done, the match lasted nearly 20.

With only two matches remaining, one of them being the main event, the 10-man tag featuring the Headshrinkers, Jeff Jarrett, Rick Martel, and I.R.S vs. the Smokin' Gunns, Bob Holly, Tatanka, and the 1-2-3 Kid was nixed. Unlike the previous two years, though, the live Pay-Per-View broadcast made mention of the cancellation and provided a kayfabe explanation that the heel team could not decide on its captain.

The match did take place on Monday Night RAW three weeks later, but a tape-delayed match in Poughkeepsie pales in comparison to WrestleMania X at Madison Square Garden.
