Ranking The Very Worst WWE Pay-Per-View Every Year 1990 - 2020

5. 2016 - WrestleMania 32

The first WrestleMania to feel even longer than it actually was, 2016's record-breaker couldn't and didn't maintain audience interest through 17 hours of midcard dreck occasionally punctuated by the likes of Shane McMahon jumping from a height like in the Attitude Era, Stone Cold Steve Austin stunning a babyface like in the Attitude Era, or The Rock...setting fire to his own name and sort of losing the crowd a bit like never before.

A Triple H match at the end of it was a combination of all his worst habits from every era. The ponderous main event was yet another failed Roman Reigns endeavour too - those in the stands with any voice or enthusiasm used it to chant for Shinsuke Nakamura instead.
