10 Worst WWE WrestleMania Opening Matches Ever

8. Show-Miz Vs. R-Truth & John Morrison (WrestleMania XXVI)

It's pretty painful to look back on the card at WrestleMania XXVI and realise that there were no fewer than five matches that would have been better openers than Show-Miz vs. R-Truth and John Morrison. The implosion of Legacy, a MITB Ladder stunt show, Triple H vs. Sheamus, Rey Mysterio vs. CM Punk and the World Title match pitting Chris Jericho against Edge were all available to WWE.

They went with the least interesting one instead.

Show-Miz felt like a second-rate Jeri-Show even back in 2010, and Truth/Morrison were such a thrown-together pairing that it was hard to take them seriously as a threat to the Tag-Team Titles. Combine that with a ridiculous three-minute length and the match was a disaster that deserved to be buried in the "death spot" pre-main event.

For the record, a tedious Bret Hart beat down on Vince McMahon later in the same show got a full 11 minutes of ring time. Meanwhile, the Tag Titles were treated like 'Mania's biggest afterthought.
