10 Most Blatant Times WWE Tried To Rewrite Its Own History

Triple H and The Undertaker had a pair of excellent matches at back-to-back WrestleManias in the early 2010s.

Their encounter at WrestleMania 27 was the only good thing about that particularly torrid show, and 'Taker defeated Trips one year later inside Hell in a Cell to signify the "End of an Era".

In the build up to that first match, WWE made it seem like this was the first time the two greats had ever faced off at the biggest show of the year.

But what about WrestleMania X-Seven? You know, the most famous wrestling show of all time? Where Trips and Biker 'Taker had a match? The one where the ref got knocked down for like half an hour?

Presumably because it made for a more interesting story, WWE tried to pretend that the X-Seven match never happened. This is a crying shame, because that match is pretty good. Even with the part where Triple H falls onto a bouncy castle the audience wasn't supposed to see.

Considering how the tag team match between The Brothers of Destruction and DX in Saudi Arabia would go, maybe this was just a practice run at erasing Taker/HHH matches from history.
