10 Pay-Per-View Main Events WWE Could Actually Call The Worst EVER

2. The Undertaker Vs Triple H (Super Show-Down)

A desperate tribute to the wrestlers they used to be, Triple H and The Undertaker's Super Show-Down headliner might have provided a brand new decades-old spectacle for the starved Australian audience, but this glacial catastrophe served as a harrowing foreshadowing of the only-marginally-better doubles effort the following month.

Infuriating in how much worse it was than the work that came before it, the idea of paying homage to prior classics was one of several fatal flaws.

Undertaker decked referees as he was prone to doing when he feuded with the original version of DX decades earlier. 'The Deadman' had the same slackened jaw from his WrestleMania 25 epic with Shawn Michaels when Hunter kicked out of the Tombstone, but he was grasping at straws rather gasping for breath. The pair fought through the crowd as they did at WrestleMania X7 - though this match was as inferior a comparison to that spirited brawl as the Melbourne Cricket Ground lawn furniture was to the priceless padded chairs from the Houston Astrodome.

In a cynical effort to promote the aforementioned Saudi Arabian sh*tshow, WWE shamelessly delivered something as ponderous as the weathered WCW main events they once derided.
