The WORST Moment From Every WWE WrestleMania
12. Hulk Hogan’s “Silverdome” Flub (WrestleMania XXX)
Admittedly, this was funny and almost charming in a way, but Vince McMahon would’ve been tearing his hair out behind the big curtain at WrestleMania XXX. Every aspect of WWE’s product was meticulously micromanaged by the boss at the time, so Hulk Hogan referring to the New Orleans Superdome as the “Silverdome, brother” wouldn’t have gone down well.
Steve Austin and The Rock, who were sharing the ring with a fellow company icon, found it hilarious, but this was slightly embarrassing for Hulk. The fact there isn’t much else to moan about shows how strong ‘Mania XXX was. It was a night that belonged to Daniel Bryan - the whole card was a love letter to those who'd hated how he'd been treated at 'Mania XXVIII a couple of years beforehand.
By 2014, even WWE's ignorant approach couldn't withstand fan demands. They wanted Bryan on top, and that was that. Earlier, just before racist comments leaked and wrecked his public image, Hogan botched the venue's name and had everyone either laughing or cringing.
Get it right, Terry. Come on now, dude.
Elsewhere, there wasn't much to moan about. Triple H put Bryan over in the opener, Cesaro won that Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal, Brock Lesnar ended The Undertaker's streak and more. OK, so some reading this would rank Brock beating the streak as a "worst ever" moment, but it was historic and made headlines.
Meanwhile, Hulk thinking he was right back in 1987 a few times took the biscuit. He was all over the place.
