8 WWE WrestleMania Main Events With Terrible Builds

So, you're WWE, and you've lost your biggest star, Stone Cold Steve Austin, to injury. Well, that shouldn't be a problem, because you have two rising top stars ready to take his place: Triple H and The Rock. It seems only fitting that for the main event of WrestleMania 2000, you pull the trigger on a money match between The Game and the Brahma Bull for the WWE Championship.

Unfortunately, the Attitude Era was when WWE got it in their heads that McMahon family drama was the real draw of their product, and thus, a contrived storyline was bungled together so that each of the four McMahons would manage a different wrestler in an elimination match for Hunter's title. This resulted in the Big Show headlining this WrestleMania despite having no business at that level, and Mick Foley being dragged out of retirement mere weeks after his career-ending match at No Way Out against Hunter.

WrestleMania 2000 is remembered as a jumbled mess, and rightly so. Instead of letting tensions stew between Triple H and The Rock for months before paying it off at 'Mania, WWE saw fit to awkwardly jam the McMahons and two other wrestlers into the equation.
