8 Least Over WWE Wrestlers To Headline WrestleMania

Needless to say, we refer here not to the headline match of WrestleMania 21, wherein Batista, having received one of the most well-received pushes in WWE history, captured the World Heavyweight Championship from Evolution leader Triple H.

Rather, it's the Animal's appearance a decade later in New Orleans. Here, the budding movie-star - back from a near-four-year hiatus - was originally billed as a triumphant good guy, his victory in the Royal Rumble supposed to catapult him back into fans' hearts.

But, in the weeks that followed, the crowd completely rejected him, the primary reason being that just about everyone in the WWE Universe had managed to convince themelves that Daniel Bryan - and no-one else - belonged in the main event spot.

Granted, after a belated heel turn, he did end up getting the "right" reaction, but the fact that they had to swtich plans so late in the day is evidence enough that he wasn't over to anywhere near the sort of levels the company expected.
