WWE: 5 Matches That Had No Place On A Wrestlemania PPV

3. Butterbean vs. Bart Gunn€”WrestleMania XV

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-JFOYQu_jA WWE made a huge mistake by not protecting the wrestling industry in this match as all it served to show was how much better 'real' athletes are against wrestlers when they're outside their comfort zone. Tons has been written about Bart Gunn winning Brawl For All but did that mean he was ready to take on a Super-heavyweight boxing legend like Butterbean? You can see why Vince would be interested - imagine the bragging rights - but this would have made more sense on an episode of RAW where WWE could have edited the footage somewhat or removed any mention of what happened. Instead it took place in front of a huge audience and on live television and Gunn was destroyed in a matter of seconds. Imagine if Floyd Mayweather had done the same to Big Show during their match a few years back? And if Gunn had won would WWE have done any better a job at pushing him? Doubtful.
