10 Most Boring WWE Main Events Of All Time

8. King Of The Ring 2002 - Triple H V Undertaker

This match has less imagination than Michael Bay, and for long stretches it felt more like the world’s worst boxing match as opposed to a WWE main event. Whenever people talk about Triple H as being one of the greatest champions of all time, they should really revisit matches like this. He was so jacked up that he could barely move, let alone string together meaningful action. To add fuel to the dumpster fire, he was having to face the Undertaker in the Dead Man’s worst incarnation.

It's hard to really find words that give justice to just how plodding and mind-bogglingly slow this match is. Both men looked like they would rather have been anywhere than in the ring that day, and both of these seasoned veterans looked as though they had completely forgotten what it was that they came in to do. There is basically nothing but trading punches for the majority of the match, with a couple of depressingly pedestrian manoeuvres pulled in, that immediately just get turned into methodical punching volleys again.

As if constant barrages of fake punching wasn’t bad enough, the final third of the match turns into a constant sell off. Both guys spend enough time on the mat to make you feel like they must have just wrestled the most intense iron man match this side of HBK and Hitman, instead of the most unimaginative and groan inducing main event of the year.

Even an appearance from The Rock couldn’t make this farce even marginally entertaining, and by the time the Undertaker hits a low blow and a roll-up for the win (seriously), it feels like you have been watching the match for twenty hours, not twenty minutes.
