WWE Super Show-Down: 7 Nostalgic Nods In The Undertaker/Triple H Match
The memories will never die.
Melbourne hosted WWE's inaugural Super Show-Down this past weekend and the event saw The Undertaker and Triple H collide in a one-on-one match for what was billed as the "Last Time Ever". Yes, you read that right: 'The Phenom' and 'The Game' headlined a PPV in 2018, and it was surprisingly glorious.
With chairshots galore, interference at every turn and some of the best darn smoke and mirrors you'll ever see in your life, the two veterans threw everything they had at each other to produce a decent wrestling match and an excellent piece of storytelling.
They may not perform at as high a level as they once did, but that didn't stop this from being a balls-to-the-wall spectacle - and one of the main reasons for that was its eclectic selection of nods to the past. Given that 'Taker and Helmsley (along with Shawn Michaels and Kane) were staples of WWE's iconic Attitude Era, it should come as no surprise to discover that the match was overflowing with nostalgic moments that really helped add an air of finality to the pair's well-documented history - and it made for some darn great TV too!
7. Battling Through The Crowd
The Australian audience got up close and personal with Triple H and The Undertaker when the action spilled into the crowd as both men battled all the way through the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Suddenly, it was like it was 2001 all over again.
The two legends previously tore their way through Houston's Astrodome during their brutal collision at WrestleMania X-Seven which led to the infamous moment in which the 'American Badass' Chokeslammed HHH off some scaffolding to the floor below. They also fought into the audience during their lesser-known No Holds Barred rematch on SmackDown a few weeks later.
Of all the neat little callbacks to take place during the pair's Super Show-Down clash, this was undoubtedly one of the most recognisable. Given their brutal styles, it's no surprise that so many of their matches have spilled into the crowd, so it was only fitting that they do it one more time.
