Worst in the World: Bret Hart vs Mr. McMahon-WrestleMania XXVI

WrestleMania 37 kicks off tonight, which means that it's only fitting that I look at a notorious stinker that took place on the Grandest Stage of them All in this post. Considering how I've done almost 150 of these over the years, I've covered most of the absolute worst matches that have ever happened at the Colassol Tussle. However, there's one infamously match from the history of WrestleMania that I've never looked at. And it might honestly be the worst in the 36-year history of the entire show.

This angle led to a three team, three way WarGames match between Team WCW (Diamond Dallas Page, Roddy Piper, and The Ultimate Warrior), the nWo Wolfpac (Kevin Nash, Sting, and Lex Luger), and the nWo Hollywood (Hollywood Hogan, Bret Hart, and Stevie Ray). In perfect WCW fashion, they managed to take arguably their most beloved match and over complicate it, kind of like how they did with their most beloved stable. Like in WarGames, one person from each team starts in the match, followed by a new person after five minutes, then one every two minutes. Once everyone has entered the cages, the match can only be won by s...
