10 Cancelled WWE WrestleMania Matches

8. The British Bulldog vs. The Berzerker - WrestleMania 8

WrestleMania 8 was a test for WWE, as they shaved an hour off the runtime, making the event a three-hour (rather than four-hour) spectacular. 

Midway through the proceedings, backstage producers realised that something was going to have to be cut if they were going to get the show over the line on time. 

The Natural Disasters and Money Inc. were asked to shave some minutes off their bout, but never did, leaving Vince McMahon to request that The British Bulldog and The Berzerker truncate their contest to a paltry minute. 

Davey Boy Smith duly informed his boss that he didn’t ‘do’ one-minute matches. Steve Keirn, however, did do one-minute matches and was happy to put Owen Hart over in a short contest right before the main event. 

WWE basically needed something to calm the crowd down before Hulk Hogan and Sid went out there for the headliner. 

In a rare example of WWE acknowledging their own false advertisement, they actually apologised for the lack of Bulldog vs. Berzerker at the end of the Coliseum Home Video release.
