The WORST Moment From Every WWE WrestleMania

30. Huckster & Nacho Man Sag (WrestleMania XII)

Technically, this cluster happened on the WrestleMania XII pre-show, but it’s included here because it really was tragically bad. The Ultimate Warrior squashing Triple H split opinion, but the crowd popped for it and were thrilled to see Warrior on his comeback. What did this WCW send up have to shout about?

It's unbelievable that some rip on the 60-minute ‘Iron Man’ main event but ignore Huckster vs. Nacho Man with 'Scheme' Gene and Billionaire Ted. Think about this: Vince McMahon thought the best way to encourage those sought after last minute pay-per-view buys was to poke his competition and former stars with a jagged stick.

It went blunt pretty quickly, and interest dwindled.

How much of this kind of thing can an audience be expected to stomach? If WWE promoted vignettes aimed at AEW on Raw or SmackDown, people would laugh once or twice. Then, assuming it continued for a month or so, those same folks would start to wonder if all of the trolling could be considered counterproductive.

There's no way WWE would use the pre-show before 'Mania to do this sort of thing today. You won’t find anyone defending this send up of Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Gene Okerlund and Ted Turner. It was a ridiculous waste of airtime, even on the 'Free For All' portion before WrestleMania officially started.

It'd be fun to find out if anybody watched this and thought: 'Gee, I better order the pay-per-view to see Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels. Y'know, just on the off chance the Huckster does a run in'.
