The Undertaker Beats Goldberg In Bloody, Botchy Battle At WWE Super ShowDown

Deadman is the true master of the streak.

The Undertaker tucked Goldberg in and put him to bed in their almost literally Biblical battle in Saudi Arabia (though don't tell the government that), downing his fellow quinquagenarian after a bloody, botch-ridden battle.

After about nine hours of entrances, Goldberg - sporting a real cool, grizzled grey beard - caught The Phenom early with a couple of mammoth spears. He couldn't press home the advantage, and 'Taker soon got back into the match.

A chokeslam attempt was reversed into a kneebar by Big Bill, after which The Deadman sent his opponent hurtling head first into the turnbuckle. Goldberg's face soon turned a gnarly shade of red, as blood poured out of his accidental wound, creating just a quite fantastic visual. He'd actually arrived to the ring with a nick on his head, presumably from headbutting a door as part of his pre-match ritual. It's what he does.

It all got a bit sloppy from this point however, as inevitable, understandable tiredness from men with a combined age of 106 began to take over - not helped by the blood loss. A very scary Jackhammer resulted in 'Taker nearly landing square on his head, and an evil Tombstone did similar carnage to Goldberg's neck.

When a Tombstone reversal spot ended with both men falling over, the experienced pair just thought 'sod it', and an immediate chokeslam ended the contest in Mean Mark's favour.

The Undertaker then went through his traditional celebration routine as the show went off air. It's fair to say the match was better than it had any realistic right to be, without being good at all.
