10 Worst WrestleMania Moments Ever

7. The Deadliest Catch

Santino Foley WrestleMania 28

Moments after Randy Orton surprisingly took a clean loss to Kane at WrestleMania XXVIII, we went backstage to see Santino sitting at a table wearing a raincoat in front of a plate of crab legs.

He wasn't alone, though, this was an opportunity for WWE to do a meaningless celebrity tie-in with a reality star from The Biggest Catch. The camera then panned over to reveal Mick Foley was seated next to them. Now keep in mind this was a time when Foley appearances were actually kind of special, so seeing him take part in such hokiness was a bit of a downer. Even worse was the pirate impression he was doing for no discernible reason.

If you also recall, Foley was at once a guy who returned to wrestling multiple times post-retirement just for WrestleMania so he could try and be a part of a true 'Mania moment. This wasn't exactly it for him. He was reduced to acting like an idiot as he put on Mr. Socko and bashed the crabs with his fist.

Of course, Ron Simmons ended the sketch by walking over while wearing a "DAMN" shirt and delivered his famous line "That was f***ing stupid!" Sorry, I mean "DAMN!"

To make the whole thing even more infuriating was that the segment ran longer than the opening match between Daniel Bryan and Sheamus!

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
