The Undertaker could've been forgiven for punching McMahon in the plums, and not just because he was booked against 'himself' in 1994. One year earlier, the WWF wheeled out Giant Gonzales in the world's worst onesie and forced 'Taker to try and work with someone who didn't know a sell job from a...never mind.

'Taker's nightmares were far from over when Gonzales flopped and left the biz. WWE's inherent need to lumber him with giants who simply cannot wrestle has been there for all to see since the dawn of time though, and so The Great Khali marched (or, more accurately, stumbled due to sore knees) onto screens in, you guessed it, 2006.

This article may have to be renamed, '10 Worst Moments From WWE's 2006'.

Khali wasn't quite as bad as Gonzales, but he was hardly someone The Undertaker was going to have killer matches with. Worse, the presentation was almost identical to how one Giant had debuted at the 1993 Royal Rumble. So much for learning from past errors.
