Only history will determine just how bad WrestleMania 33's WWE Title match really was, but it was unthinkable prior to the event that a match could somehow be worse than the WrestleMania 32 show-closing snoozer between Triple H and Roman Reigns.
Amazingly, the projection of maggots, earthworms and insects onto the canvas wasn't the 'Ultimate Thrill Ride' WWE promised. Reaction to the concept was caustic.
From several accounts, the visual aids failed to land with the live crowd as WWE would have liked, despite the slew of screens and walls the company could have effectively promoted the stunt on.
On television, the initial projection created an air of confused shock, but the repeated indifference shown by Randy Orton ensured a minimal level of threat despite Bray's repeated acts of wizardry.
Like so many of Wyatt's tricks, it was a complete failure in helping him actually win a match.
Polished off with the RKO in under ten minutes, 'The Eater Of Worlds' became the second consecutive transitional WWE Champion, with his February Elimination Chamber victory feeling like a lifetime ago as he lay looking at the Florida sky to the sound of audience apathy yet again.
