8 Great WWE Stars With Bad WrestleMania Resumes

3. Jake Roberts

Jake 'The Snake' Roberts took his rightful place in the WWE Hall of Fame in 2014, during WrestleMania weekend. It must have been an amazing feeling for Jake, who had battled so many odds and overcome so many demons.

His induction fell the night before WrestleMania and Roberts must have at least thought back to the times he wrestled on the grandest stage of them all. Reminisce he may have, but the fact is that Jake's WrestleMania run was pretty damn lacklustre and not befitting a performer of his stature.

Jake's first WrestleMania came at 'Mania 2 in the form of a routine squash match victory over George Wells. The next year, in front of a definitely-not-inflated 93,000, Roberts - with Alice Cooper in his corner - battered the Honky Tonk Man in a match that was about as good as any Honky Tonk Man Match, i.e. not very.

As weak as the Honk match was, it was still better than Jake's ultra-boring clash with the usual awesome Rick Rude at WrestleMania IV, a fifteen-minute time limit draw full of chinlocks and not much else that eliminated both men from the WWE Title tournament. Ah, politics...

But it gets worse! Roberts' WrestleMania V match with a totally past-it Andre the Giant was just sad to watch and his WrestleMania VII blindfold match with Rick Martel was an insult. Sandwiched between them was a pretty decent match with Ted DiBiase, but even that was sullied by a shoddy count-out finish.

The Snake became a victim of the Streak in 1992 at WrestleMania VIII and then immediately left the company for four years. When he came back he was given another WrestleMania match, teaming with Ahmed Johnson and Yokozuna to take on the Vader, The British Bulldog and Owen Hart.

For what it's worth, it was one of Roberts' better 'Mania matches.
