Braun Strowman picked out a 10-year-old kid from the crowd (Nicholas) as his tag team
partner and then defeated The Bar to become the new Raw tag team champions at WrestleMania 34.
It certainly created a WrestleMania moment on the night
but that was it.
Unsurprisingly, the tag team titles were relinquished the next night after Nicholas failed the wellness
program.
Ok... I made that last part up.
The actual reason given was a “scheduling conflict” since Nicolas was still in the
4th grade.
The Bar basically got buried for nothing and it just made the tag team division look bad.
Blindfold matches have potential to be funny if done right…
But when used in a serious
feud such as with Jake “The Snake” Roberts vs Rick Martell at WrestleMania 7, it just
didn’t work.
You had these two wrestlers who seriously wanted to hurt one another especially after
Rick Martel kayfabe blinded Jake Roberts but then on the big stage at WrestleMania, the
finale of their “serious” feud was turned into a comedic act because of the blindfold
stipulation.
Let’s be honest, nobody wanted to see The Big Show in a big silk thong…
Well, maybe Vince McMahon did…
At WrestleMania 21, The Big Show took part in a tradition sumo match against legendary
sumo wrestler Akebono.
The bout lasted just over a minute and unsurprisingly saw Akebono come out victorious given The
Big Show’s lack of experience in sumo wrestling.
In an interview with Fox Sports, The Big Show cited his sumo match with Akebono as his most
embarrassing moment in wrestling.
At WrestleMania 25, the WWE hosted a “Miss WrestleMania Battle Royal” which featured
25 women from the past and present all competing to be crowned as “Miss WrestleMania.”
You would think at the very least a woman would have won the Battle Royal but therein
lies the problem, the Battle Royal was won by Santino Marella.
A man...
Sorry, I mean his twin sister, Santina…
Having a man be crowned as “Miss WrestleMania” was just a kick in the teeth to all the women
who performed in that Battle Royal.
After John Cena and Nikki Bella came out victorious in their match against Miz and Maryse at WrestleMania
33, John Cena got down on one knee and proposed to Nikki Bella.
Unfortunately, things didn’t work out for the two of them.
It’s crazy to think that just two years later, Nikki Bella got engaged to another
man and birthed a child and John Cena got married.
Should the proposal have happened in the first place?
Well, the answer to that question was right in front of them the whole time…
