10 Great Wrestlers Who Couldn't Have A Good Match Together

1. Kane & The Undertaker

The Undertaker was rarely compelling when paired with fellow monsters. He had great matches with Brock Lesnar and Batista, but struggled to produce anything of note against Vader, Big Show, Diesel, and countless others. Kane probably shouldn't have fallen into the latter category, given that feuding with 'The Deadman' was once the character's sole reason for existence, but no: their matches sucked.

WrestleMania XIV set their in-ring rivalry off to an unconvincing start, their Inferno Match (a stipulation that has never produced a good bout) at Unforgiven 1998 was even worse, and they worked the worst kind of slow, plodding "big man" brawl at Judgment Day a few months later.

The Brothers Of Destruction later feuded over Kane's World Heavyweight Title in 2010, and the results were just as horrendous, with their Bragging Rights dud standing as the worst match they've ever put on together. Fortunately, that was the last time they'd ever meet in one-on-one competition.

While the 2010 series' failure can potentially be attributed to 'Taker's build-up of injuries, and the initial feud probably had a lot to do with Kane's relative inexperience, none of these bouts ever exceeded mediocrity. They're two of the most memorable characters in WWE history, two of the greatest big men of all time, and they had a strong run as a tag team, but as opponents, Kane and Undertaker were the dirt worst.
