Ranking All 35 WWE WrestleManias From Worst To Best

32. WrestleMania 4

It’s tough to call an historic WrestleMania one of the worst ones, but time has not been kind to WM IV.

The PPV featured a 16-match card at a time when shorter matches were a normal part of Mania. However, 11 of those bouts were part of a 14-man tournament to crown a new WWF Champion. Those matches were mostly dull and disappointing, if not downright awful. The other bouts were lackluster as well. Even though it was supposed to be “Macho Man” Randy Savage’s crowning achievement, it didn’t quite click with the “fans.”

That’s because you had a paid crowd that wasn’t really reacting how you’d expect a wrestling audience in 1988 to react, hence you got a really bad PPV.
