Sidenote: Is Triple H the worst WM main event worker ever? Nothing but crap comes up when you think of Hunter and WM main events. I wouldn't say that he was ever in the worst ever WM main event, but out of 6 tries, he's had admittedly one classic match (WM XX), one decent match aided by great atmosphere (WM 22) and 4 mediocre to awful matches. Sid might be the only one worse with multiple matches under his belt (2, both mediocre to awful). Hogan had 2 bonafide awful main events (WM 2 and WM VIII), but everything else but his WM VII match were either really good matches or outright genre benchmarks.

Other than those 2, NO other worker has multiple bombs like Hunter has had in the WM main event.

You're reaching hard to call HHH/Batista or the 4 way bombs, both those matches had the crowd heavily invested and were not poorly worked.

HHH/Orton was such a hot angle that I'll say that. Miz/Cena and HHH/Jericho sucked too, but those were destined to be bad. HHH/Orton was a major missed opportunity.

Cena/Miz is probably way worse, as it was only a devise to set up Cena/Rock, but Bret/Yoko/Hogan fukkery left me mad for weeks :damn:

The whole Bret/Yoko/Hogan deal was horrible too.

THIS. Let's just consider the circumstances a bit here without being TOO long winded. Bret had been a fighting champion and has been working with EVERYONE. Has a match with yoko and you have hulk hogan come out and basically get handed the belt...such a cheap way to give hulk the belt. You kill alot of the heat Yoko built in the match he just had, also you make Bret look weak as shyt, I don't blame Hogan I blame Vince btw...:skip:

I can't believe they closed with Orton/HHH though. :heh:

To be fair, that angle was white-hot until WWE killed it with a deluge of nonsense (lawyers, Shane McMahon phantom punches, home invasions). A wild brawl with Orton going over could've easily redeemed the angle, but of course THAT wasn't happening.

You're reaching hard to call HHH/Batista or the 4 way bombs, both those matches had the crowd heavily invested and were not poorly worked.

I haven't watched the four-way in forever, but I did rewatch Hunter/Batista and came away with the same conclusions about it: A dull, lifeless WM main that features prototypical Triple H match structure (read: plodding) and Batista getting gassed in the first 5 minutes. Nothing bad about it, but it is firmly in the realm of mediocrity.

Other than the WM XX Triple Threat and WM 22 (which was the crowd more than anything), Triple H just doesn't cut it in WM main events.

I don't even like HHH at all but there was nothing wrong with that match.

No one expected Taker/HBK to be that good and also considering how hot of heel Randy was at the time people expected more of a fight then a wrestling match.

What was wrong with the entrance? I thought Randy just coming out and standing on the turnbuckle staring to the crowd was kinda bad ass. Dude was legit at that time.

It took forever, and looked boring and slow and dry when then fued was a BLOOD FUED when the psychology of the entrances and match did not speak to that at all. Orton had rkoed, and punted his father in law, brother in law, wife, kissed his wife in the mouth, hit him with a sledgehammer 6 days earlier...hhh had invaded his house...he had him arrested....then they just had.....a match

The rko/hhh should have been like the lesnar/hhh match where it started and they just began fukking each other up....

Cena/Miz without a doubt. A fukking double countout finish and than having the Rock come out in the end and restart the match. Plus, the fukkING MIZ main-evented a Mania. Let that shyt sink in. Easily THE fukking worst Mania main event and one of the worst Mania's ever. Easily. But, 2nd has to be HHH/Orton. :smh: Orton could have been a made fukking man and a legendary heel imo, and I'm not a Orton stan by no means, but he was looking like the one of the best heels of the decade imo, but fukking H just had to get the W for no fukking reason. :beli: That loss completely killed Orton's momentum and he hasn't been anywhere near that level again since.
