10 Wrestling Storylines Totally Different To How You Remember

10. The Undertaker Vs. Kane Saga

How you remember it:

A worthy, unforgettable storyline even if you aren't necessarily into supernatural horsesh*t. The WWF, marshalled by Jim Cornette's brilliance when he still had it, built Kane as a terrifying monster in the theatre of the mind before unveiling him. And then, marketed by Vince McMahon's brilliance when he still had it, the aesthetic and the presence matched the expectation. The eerie head tilts, the committed beat-downs, the over-the-top theatre; from Badd Blood to Unforgiven, the WWF spun a memorable, daft yarn with cracking set piece angles. It went to sh*t when they reconciled, fell out again, and the real arsonist all along was revealed, but when it was good, it was good!

What it was actually like:

It was also pretty sh*tty and nonsensical when it was good. Ahead of the Inferno match, the WWF ran an angle on RAW in which Paul Bearer dug up the corpses of 'Taker's deceased parents. They of course had been burned to a permanent end. But because you, WWF fan, are as thick as f*ck, the mere visual of a coffin wasn't enough. They didn't think you'd think they were dead enough, so they stuck a bone in there. Bones that are of course impervious to fire.

Idiots.
