10. Undertaker & Nathan Jones vs. Big Show & A-Train (Wrestlemania XIX)
A lot of wrestling fans may be reading this and asking, "who?", in relation to Nathan Jones. Once a man WWE had high, high hopes for (Vince McMahon doesn't just book you as The Undertaker's protege for nothing), Jones didn't really have much success in the company, mainly due to his perceived lack of actual pro wrestling skills. At Wrestlemania XIX in 2003, Jones was originally scheduled to team with The Undertaker against The Big Show and A-Train, but the match was quickly changed to a 2-on-1 handicap affair in favour of the heels once it became clear Jones was supremely limited inside the ring. The big guy did interfere towards the end of the bout, and would later go on to play a heel character aligned with Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar, but that was about it in terms of WWE spotlight for the mammoth Australian. The question must be asked why WWE even bothered to book such a tag-team contest if they didn't think Jones had enough in his tank to be valuable to the match. It's a curious portion of 'Taker's career too, as the bout itself was fairly low key, and was going on second at 'Mania, an event typically associated with featuring The Undertaker (and his streak) heavily.
