Edge versus Randy Orton was the hottest feud heading into WrestleMania 36. Fans expected the last man standing match to be one of the best of the night but it ended up to be disappointing.

The main reason for this was that the match was just too long. The match ended up going for 36 minutes which is the second longest match in the history of WrestleMania. The only match longer than this was the Iron Man match between Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart at WrestleMania 12 which went over an hour because it was an Iron Man match.

Edge vs Orton started off decently enough but it ground to a screeching halt as they brawled across the PC. There was too much downtime between moves and fans not being there to react definitely did not help. However, despite what I said, the finish of the match was booked to perfection with Edge hitting Orton with the conchairto. This match could have been brilliant if it was shorter, perhaps closer to 20 mins.
