The WORST Moment From EVERY WWE SummerSlam

26. Brothers Of Disappointment (2000)

WrestleMania XIV's brotherly war between The Undertaker and Kane was never going to win any 'Match Of The Year' awards, but it was functional and told a good story going in. By 2000, 'Taker had rebranded as a badass biker, and Kane wasn't the same one-dimensional monster he'd been in 1998. So, in theory, this SummerSlam 2000 clash should've been better.

Nope.

The rematch (one of many) was short, unsatisfying and ended with Kane being unmasked in one of the most pointless moments throughout the entire year. This conjured up memories of Mayhem In Manchester and 'Taker's ring gear going missing before he worked his kayfabe sibling in another clunky effort.

At least they had an excuse, and that was more of a house show feel (despite later being released in highlights form on VHS) anyway. At SummerSlam 2000, people rightly expected more from the pair than what they'd end up getting. Their bout was one of the worst on the show, to be blunt.

The main event Triple Threat survived Kurt Angle's concussion to thrill, the first TLC match was amazing, and even Shane McMahon battling Steve Blackman had some highlights. Sure, Terri vs. The Kat in a 'Stinkface Match' sucked, but that was never predicted to be any use. 'Taker vs. Kane felt the weight of expectations, but they didn't deliver.

In fact, their match was every bit as sucky as its predecessor involving the Divas, which really speaks volumes. Also, why bother ripping Kane's mask off for no reason? There was zero payoff to this.
