5. The Undertaker (WrestleMania VII)

The Undertaker has starred in some of WrestleMania's most memorable, timeless moments. Nobody will forget his matches against Shawn Michaels at 25 or XXVI, and few will ever forgive WWE for ending his 'Mania winning streak against Brock Lesnar at XXX.

Despite producing these classic moments (for better and worse), even the mighty 'Taker had an inauspicious start to his WrestleMania career in 1991.

Moving like he was walking through treacle and booked to no-sell almost everything Jimmy Snuka threw at him, The Undertaker almost put fans to sleep at 'Mania VII. Don't let WWE's claims that people were in awe of 'Taker fool you.

Fans in LA were waiting to see Randy Savage, The Ultimate Warrior and Hulk Hogan later that night, and they weren't exactly thrilled by this plodding zombie's first appearance at WrestleMania. Snuka's loss only lasted four minutes, but it got 'Taker's legendary streak off to a slow start.
