10 Absolute Worst Matches In WWE SummerSlam History
3. The Undertaker Vs The Undertaker (SummerSlam 1994)
An impossibly boring match considering the story that served it, The Undertaker Vs The Undertaker main event of SummerSlam 1994 managed to kill the 23,000 in attendance as well as the undead zombified caricatures in the ring.
Unhelpfully forced to follow the Bret and Owen Hart cage match, the company were bound to promoting the match as the headliner thanks to a lucrative promotional deal with Dominos Pizza that also roped in Leslie Nielsen and George Kennedy to repurpose their Naked Gun personas to locate the lost 'Deadman' after rumours of his Royal Rumble demise turned out to be greatly exaggerated.
It should have been simpler than it was - the phoney 'Taker was due an absolute sh*tkicking from the real thing, but the contest was booked with a bizarre even-handedness before the purple-gloved returnee wrapped up a match that only went 8:57 but honestly felt like it was approaching the hour mark. Nothing happened, followed by a bit more nothing, before a Tombstone sealed the deal like it always did.
Rumour has it that Ted Dibiase's fraud was supposed to stick around, but the tepid climax to the half-decent angle put paid to that, and the fake 'Phenom' for good.
