33 WWE WrestleMania Opening Matches Ranked From Worst To Best

24. The Allied Powers Vs. The Blu Brothers - WrestleMania XI

Triple H Daniel Bryan WrestleMania XXX

A retrospectively ironic match, given the nazi symbolism inked on the arms of the Blu Brothers and the name chosen by their opponents, that is really the extent of the fascination: the Allied Powers performed like Akam and Rezar on their first day in the Performance Center, or at least Luger did, by landing a basic stereo body slam across his partner's back. Bulldog's work looked pure dynamite, as it often did between 1995 and 1997, but Luger's cheeseball fire-up spots were straight out of the 1980s.

If nothing else, it's always nice to hear that mesmerising mash-up of a theme song again.
