10 Shortest WWE WrestleMania Main Events Ever

It took less than 13 minutes to make a mess at the end of WrestleMania that rivalled the chaotic times existing for the company outside of the product itself.

Scandal enveloped the organisation, and as the 'Show Of Show' arrived, it became apparent that Hulk Hogan's iconic yellow boots were made for walking. For a while, at least. Hogan didn't officially announce it as his retirement match but the implication was laid on as thick as a Sid WCW promo.

And speaking of the future 'Sycho', Sid found himself in quite the insane spot at about 12 minutes or so when he had to kick out of Hogan's legendary leg drop to try and save this sh*tshow. New heel Papa Shango was supposed to be there for the save, but he was literally nowhere to be seen.

Most of the voodoo man's tenure felt cursed, not least this auspicious start to life in the upper echelon. Ambling out instead of running in when time came for his big moment, he genuinely looked as if he'd taken a wrong turn once the blinding spotlights finally caught him.
