Reports have claimed that The Undertaker (the real one) was upset that a stirring brother vs. brother match between Bret and Owen Hart went long at SummerSlam 1994. In truth, he should've been thanking the siblings for sparing him the task of drawing out his doppelgänger main event against Brian Lee any longer.

Nine minutes was more than enough.

On a card featuring Bret vs. Owen locked inside a Steel Cage, this shouldn't have gone on last. Quite what Vince McMahon was thinking by putting 'Taker, still in his slow-plodding years, out there against an unconvincing lookalike copying his walking-through-concrete style is anyone's guess. This was never going to top what fans had just seen.

Bret vs. Owen had gone some lengths to rescuing a card that hadn't offered up much entertainment (aside from the decent Razor Ramon vs. Diesel match, that is), and it didn't deserve to be followed by such an lifeless punch-fest as 'Taker vs. 'Faker.
