10 Biggest Surprises In WWE's 100 Greatest Matches Book

3. Where's Undertaker Vs. Austin?

Matches from The Undertaker and Steve Austin comprise approximately twenty percent of DK's selection, which goes some way to demonstrating just how many terrific matches the two have enjoyed down the years.

Yet none of their countless ties against one another appear in the book. It's true that the pair never contested what could be regarded as a classic, but that hasn't prevented many other, otherwise technically flawed matches turning up in the volume off the back of what could be termed 'historical significance'.

Most egregiously omitted is Austin and The Undertaker's Raw bout from June 1999: one which drew the flagship show's highest ever quarter-hour rating. For a company so eager to aggrandise its own past successes - often even inflating them - it's a surprise that this event doesn't even merit a mention.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
