7. JBL

A lot of squash matches - sans those that involve local competitors (who are presumably aware in advance that their screen-time will be short-lived) - are kind of uncomfortable to watch.

But not all. In fact, JBL's WrestleMania 25 humiliation - which saw him lose the Intercontinental Championship to Rey Mysterio in just 21 seconds - was actually a feel-good moment of the kind we have come to expect the 'Grandest Stage of Them All' to deliver.

This was because 'The Wrestling God' was arguably the company's most genuinely despised heel, and really, few were exactly crazy about the idea of him getting back into the ring after a stint on the commentary desk (where, to his credit, he made a pretty good fist of things).

Rey, of course, desperately needed a WrestleMania moment of his own after being left off the previous two cards altogether through injury. It wasn't the world title, granted, but this time just about everyone in the arena cheered his win.
