Just a few months after returning to great fanfare at Judgment Day 2000, The Undertaker looked sluggish and out of shape at SummerSlam. Once again being programmed opposite his storyline brother, Kane, 'Taker looked knackered after the match. All in all, the brawl only lasted a shade over 5 minutes, which really told the story of what kind of shape Undertaker was in around this time. Coming just before the red-hot Triple Threat main event, and hot on the heels of the first ever TLC match, there wasn't much to cheer about. The Undertaker vs. Kane had already been done to death by this point, so the match came across as a trifle unnecessary to begin with. SummerSlam 2000 is memorable for a lot of reasons, but this battle of brothers isn't one of them. Confusingly, the contest ended without a clear winner. Attacking The Undertaker before things really got started, Kane would later have his mask ripped off by 'Taker. Retreating, Kane fled to the backstage area, and Undertaker celebrated as if he had won. The whole thing felt rushed, and ultimately pointless.
