10 Wrestling Matches That Haven't Aged Well
5. Kane Vs. The Undertaker (Unforgiven: In Your House 1998)
In yet another example of the idea of a contest being much more tantalising than the eventual end product, hot on the heels of a WrestleMania XIV brotherly collision, Kane and The Undertaker were set to duke it out in WWE's first-ever Inferno match.
What could go wrong, eh?
In truth, actually getting through the fiery contest without either man being seriously damaged or incinerated was no doubt seen as a job well done for all involved. And those in attendance at Unforgiven: In Your House 1998 seemed to genuinely lap up every blaze that accompanied the various bumps taken by both battling bros in the ring.
Yet, the action only really began to heat up the second both men left the much-hyped burning squared circle late in the match. And while the sight of The Big Red Machine's arm being set alight as he squirmed back up the ramp was jaw-dropping at the time, watching the Mayor of Knox County slowly position himself and carefully allow the flames to take over his fully prepared arm doesn't quite elicit the same response all these years later.
It still ranks as the best Inferno match in WWE history, though. Admittedly, that's not saying too much.
