In general, WrestleMania delivers. Its professional wrestling's biggest night where each wrestler tries to put on the best matches they can. Sometimes blunders can happen. The eleventh annual event is a good example.
The opening match was the underrated team of Lex Luger and the British bulldog against the short-lived Jacob and Eli Blu. Luger and Bulldog won in an average bout. 6.5/10
Next up was Razor Ramon trying to take the Intercontinental title back from Jeff Jarrett. The match was decent, although inferior to their Summerslam bout. 7/10
Then there was Undertaker against King Kong Bundy. None of Taker's Mania matches were that good at this point. This was no exception. 6.5/10
The final tag team match was for the tag team titles, seeing Billy and Bart Gunn defend it against Owen Hart and Yokozuna. Owen and Yokozuna win. That's it. 6/10
Bret Hart and Bob Backlund have an "I Quit" rematch from Survivor Series. Hart has called this his worst match ever. Wrestlers always see things differently than the fans. From a fan's point of view, this isn't THE worst match of Bret's career. But it was still a dull one. 5.5/10
The match that really should have closed the show was Diesel against Shawn Michaels for the WWF title. Pamela Anderson and Jenny McCarthy were in the guys' corners and Jonathan Taylor Thomas was the timekeeper. Diesel is the longest reigning champion of the 90s as well and the least-drawing champion and most underrated. This was easily match of the night with Big Daddy Cool retaining. 7.5/10
Football legend Lawrence Taylor faces Bam Bam Bigelow in a terrible main event. LT is not a wrestler! WWE likes to have non-wrestlers compete, so this should have been the opener. LT won. Bam Bam could have been the victor and it would have sucked the same. 3/10
So there's not really a whole lot to say about this Mania. The matches were either average or bad. Nothing more or less can be said.
Overall 6/10
