3. Randy Orton And Triple H
In the past, Randy Orton and Triple H have threatened to work magic together. By all accounts, a Last Man Standing Match at No Mercy 2007 had enjoyable sections, but there was also a slow pace to their matches that generally hurt them. Even when alongside others in multi-man situations, the pair struggled to really get going. At WrestleMania XXIV, they were joined by John Cena in a WWE Title Triple Threat encounter. Instead of working together to weave a brilliant match, there was a sense that cohesion was lacking between the trio. Specifically, Triple H and Orton just didn't appear to have much chemistry going for them when clashing nose-to-nose. The aforementioned Last Man Standing Match felt like a dream compared to the nightmare of their WrestleMania XXV collision. Going on last in the main event slot, Orton and 'The Game' simply couldn't top a brilliant match between The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels. Watching both bouts back-to-back is like receiving a lesson in what constitutes expert wrestling chemistry and what - sadly - doesn't.
