9 Times WWE's WrestleMania Main Event Was The Worst Match On The Card

7. WrestleMania 13: Slow And Plodding Wins Over Perfection

Heading into WrestleMania 13, the WWF Championship title scene was crowded with several wrestlers vying for the company’s top prize. However, the WWF was still a few years away from booking a multi-man title match in the main event, so the principals were programmed into two separate marquee matches.

When the dust settled, the final card featured Undertaker challenging Sycho Sid for the WWF title, and Bret “Hitman” Hart battling “Stone Cold” Steve Austin in a submission match. Guess which put the audience to sleep in the main event, and which one became an era-defining classic that basically launched the Attitude Era?

Sid/Taker was bad. It was a terrible match on its own, no matter the stakes or where it was placed on the card. But to close out a WrestleMania with those two vying for the World title in the middle of a Monday Night War that WWF was losing? That’s some horrific decision-making.

The fact that Hart/Austin took place two matches earlier, and basically propelled two of the biggest superstars of 1997, doesn’t help Sid/Undertaker’s standing.
