The Rockers looked hyped as f*ck to be in action against the Orient Express as they punched the air en route to the ring on one of the beloved moving ring carts. Like pretending not to be sh*tfaced in front of your parents, it's rumoured they were trying to fake it just to make it.
Maybe a heavy night on the Toronto town 24 hours earlier caused this clash to fall apart, or Marty Jannetty to fall over the ringside rail, but whatever was planned flatly failed in execution.
The Rockers were very possibly the greatest WWE doubles act to never officially wear the Tag Team Titles, but booking so often prohibited them from looking like they belonged at the top of the tree. Was this second consecutive WrestleMania loss a punishment, or simply par for the course?
