Which wrestlers had the biggest fall from grace between two Wrestlemanias

[THE 101]

No Owen Hart jokes please

King Kong Bundy went from wrestling Hogan in the main event of II to wrestling midgets at III

 

[Riley Escobar]

Miz went from headlining Mania 27 to being a last-minute addition to a multi-man tag match in a feud between two GM's at Mania 28

Jack Swagger won MITB at Mania 26 and at Mania 27 he was in Michael Cole's corner for a match against Lawler

 

[WOAHMYGOODNESS]

Miz and it was justified

 

[Lord Scion]

It's the Miz.

Macho went from wrestling for the world title at wrestlemania 8 to being a commentater at wrestlemania 9

 

[BurnSlow]

Off the dome-piece: Cesaro

Winning that battle-royal and then being fed to WWE creative. He was the tag-team champion, but man was he hot coming out of that battle royal.

 

[THE 101]

Macho went from wrestling for the world title at wrestlemania 8 to being a commentater at wrestlemania 9

Yeah that's a rough one

 

[Cartier Murphy]

Chris Jericho returns in 2012 to battle CM Punk for the WWE title at 28.
He returns in time for 29 to put over Fandango.

Anything to avoid going home I guess.

 

[jadden]

Yeah that's a rough one

I don't even think he was hurt, Vince just didn't want him wrestling. Crazy thing is macho had the best match on the card at the previous two manias before WM9

 

[Tide Run This]

What happened with Slaughter at Mania 8 wasn't he still in the WWF at the time?

 

[THE 101]

What happened with Slaughter at Mania 8 wasn't he still in the WWF at the time?

He was in a filler 8 man tag. I think he was back to being a face at that point. So yeah that was a pretty huge fall down the card.

 

[DANJ!]

What happened with Slaughter at Mania 8 wasn't he still in the WWF at the time?

He teamed with Duggan, Bossman, & Virgil to go against Mountie, Nasty Boys, & Repo Man... basically a piss-break tag match.

That was kinda to be expected tho'... he was only there to play up the Gulf War, he stopped being useful soon as it was over.

 

[Tide Run This]

That's a big fall off too

Orton went from main eventing in 09 to being a throwaway match vs legacy in the 2nd match on the card

 

[DANJ!]

I don't even think he was hurt, Vince just didn't want him wrestling. Crazy thing is macho had the best match on the card at the previous two manias before WM9

He injured his knee at the '93 Rumble... that time he tried to pin Yoko and got tossed over the top.

It's still fukked what happened to him from that point on. He definitely still had some years left in him.

 

[DANJ!]

Ted DiBiase... pushed as top heel and main evented Mania IV.

At Mania V, wrestled Brutus Beefcake in the 3rd match, and it wasn't even a feud.
