10 Worst WrestleMania Title Matches Ever
9. Sycho Sid Vs The Undertaker - WrestleMania 13
After a tumultuous period for the WWE Title following rapid-fire changes and Shawn Michaels' Feburary abdication to go and 'find his smile', The Undertaker's show-closing victory for the gold was a pleasing way to settle the chaos and by proxy, the company's direction.
However, for a Chicago crowd that had witnessed the most pivotal match in company history between Bret Hart and Steve Austin, then a riotous Chicago Street Fight immediately after, a ponderous big-man match just couldn't cut the mustard.
Sid had been a surprise hit for the company in 1996, returning from the wrestling wilderness to thunderous babyface reactions in the summer months.
Working up to the crowd's response, he had improved his in-ring enough that the company elevated him to the main event scene at the close of the year, first dethroning Shawn Michaels then defending successfully against Bret Hart to cement his position.
However, when Shawn cruelly referred to him as 'luggage' on commentary (inferring he required carrying by everybody he worked with), he wasn't totally wrong, and 1997's Undertaker wasn't fully equipped for the task.
It eventually fell to Bret Hart to draw heat, augmenting his heel turn with pre and post-match run-ins to incite the crowd before Undertaker's eventual win.
