Every WrestleMania Triple Threat Match Ranked - From Worst To Best
12. Randy Orton Vs. Cody Rhodes Vs. Ted DiBiase Jr. - WrestleMania XXVI
Remember when everyone was convinced that Ted DiBiase Jr. was going to be the breakout star of Legacy and Cody Rhodes would fade away? That didn't really go as expected, did it? It was definitely safe to assume at the time, as the break up of Legacy seemed to be moving in a direction where the son of the Million Dollar Man would come out as the star. This was the logical final chapter in the Legacy story, but something was off throughout. Cody and Ted were on the same side to begin with, finally putting the boots to Orton after months of mistreatment. This obviously wouldn't last, and Cody and Ted came to blows to very little reaction. Looking back years later, it is amazing how irrelevant Cody seemed at the time. All of the expected spots were hit, including a rope-assisted double DDT from Orton to his former protégés. After punting Cody into his Dashing gimmick, Orton countered Dream Street into an RKO and picked up the pin over Ted. The wrestling throughout was more than competent, but the match did little for anyone involved. Orton stayed where he was, and Cody and Ted came out looking more useless than ever.
Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
