Heels don’t win many WrestleMania main events. This is the biggest show of the year, the one that makes the most money, and history has shown that business is better when people go home happy. The modern world might be full of anti-heroes, but we still crave a happy ending.

The last thing a WrestleMania crowd needs is for the evil boss to turn on the most beloved wrestler on the planet, allowing his son-in-law to survive with his championship intact. That is exactly what happened at WrestleMania 2000 (WrestleMania 16, for the curious), as Vince McMahon smashed The Rock over the head with a chair (twice), allowing Triple H to win the main event.

Sure, The Rock got a modicum of revenge by hitting the dastardly McMahons with a succession of Rock Bottoms, but that merely put a plaster on a gaping wound. Evil had won out on the grandest stage of them all, and the 19,776 in attendance went home furious.
