Then, it all comes crashing down.

Towards the end of the documentary, The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels and Triple H rip lumps out of Crown Jewel 2018. It's like they're admitting the diamonds on that 'Crown' had been replaced with nuggets of sh*t - nobody goes easy on themselves here.

Triple H called the tag match a "bad comedy movie", citing his torn pectoral muscle, Kane's mask coming off and all the blown spots between the quartet. Then, Michaels is shown saying, "I missed by that much" behind the scenes after returning backstage, and 'Taker calls the bout a "train wreck".

Nobody else in WWE seemed to think it was that awful, but the foursome involved had high expectations going in and truly thought they'd be able to at least match what they'd achieved together over the years. That was...never realistic, to be fair.
