Given the build to Randy Orton vs. Triple H at 'Mania XXV, this should have been a genuine classic. Orton had been tremendous in his role as unhinged psychopath, playing mind games with the entire McMahon family, whilst Triple H filled the role of hero out to avenge evil perfectly. Add the WWE Title into the mix and it should have been a recipe for success. Tragically, it wasn't. There's an argument to be made that the incredible match between The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels should have went on last, because the war between Triple H and Orton couldn't have possibly hoped to better it. Maybe it would have if the stipulation tacked on shortly before the match didn't completely ruin the purpose! This should have been a night when 'The Game' was able to truly let loose, raining hell down on Orton and righting all the wrongs his opponent had inflicted on he and his family in the months prior. Instead, the stipulation was that if HHH was counted out or disqualified, he'd lose the WWE Title, which didn't really do much for the bout. It was a slow, plodding affair, when it should have been frantic and stunt-filled. What other WrestleMania matches should have been better than they were? Do you agree with the choices on this list?
