St. Slaughter vs Hulk Hogan and the Miz vs John Cena

With the exception of Wrestlemania 23, any time Cena main-evented a WM, the match wasn't great.
Also:
Hulk Hogan vs Yokozuna.
Hulk Hogan vs. Sgt. Slaughter
Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Lawrence Taylor
HHH vs. Batista
HHH vs. Randy Orton

Because both Slaughter and Miz were Iraqi sympathizers who turned their back on the USA and joined forces with Gen. Adnan?!

HHH vs Jericho @wm18 and its ZERO to do with the Rock vs Hogan. Jericho was made look like a inconsequential jobber in the run in. If it had been on 1st the crowd wouldn't have cared.
HHH vs Orton @ WM25. A pedestrian snoozer from 2 guys IMO have never had any chemistry. HHHs desire for revenge on Orton seemed to have evaporated into thin air WM wknd.
Miz vs Cena @ WM27, good God.
Those are the 3 that stick out a yard to me.

Triple H vs Orton might be the most egregious to me. To have that level of intensity in the rivalry and then announce right before the match that if Triple H got disqualified he'd lose the title. The match should have been no holds barred, not that nonsense stipulation, than lead to an absolute bore of a match.

He lost the title the next month Could’ve dropped the belt at Mania |

And to let the fans go home happy, put Taker-HBK on last. Get the WHC Triple Threat out of a death spot. Everybody wins, except the divas 😢 |

Bar last year, most of the last decade have been really below par from what you'd expect as a Wrestlemania Main Event. Whether that's just due to the general predictability of knowing Roman Reigns is going over, paired with his in ring style, they've just been relatively forgettable matches themselves despite the closing image generally lasting. At least, in relation to Cena's Main Event's anyway.
However, the bar wasn't ever really set high for me going into the bulk of Roman's matches, so I was never left majorly dissapointed. Triple H vs Randy Orton from '25 is and probably always will be the standout for me. So much potential, a great build, the Legacy and McMahon's all intertwined, and rumblings of a Wrestlemania X-Seven esque scenario with Orton & McMahon. Yet, we were left with a completely flat, generic Match you'd expect at a House Show, with no Title change, no shenanigans despite the No DQ stipulation, and the wrong winner.
Worst 3 since I watched, from XV;
1. Wrestlemania 25, Triple H vs Randy Orton.
2. Wrestlemania 32, Triple H vs Roman Reigns.
3. Wrestlemania 27, The Miz vs John Cena.
On a side note, despite it being a finisher fest and generally just waiting for the end, I for one was at least shocked when Lesnar went over Reigns at 34 (which I couldn't believe), which saves it from the list.
