10 WWE Experiments Which Failed To Win Over Fans

8. The Undertaker vs. The Undertaker

The Undertaker is one of the most beloved characters in WWF/WWE history. Rightfully so, people cherish the character as one of the best ever, but that doesn't mean he hasn't featured in his fair share of failures. In 1994, Undertaker had been buried in a casket by a slew of heel wrestlers at the Royal Rumble. Promising a rebirth, 'Taker wouldn't return until the Summer. During the Spring, Ted DiBiase started claiming that he was now in charge of The Undertaker. His 'Deadman' was played by Brian Lee, but few fans were fooled by the heel's claims. Paul Bearer brought the genuine article back in time for SummerSlam, where both Undertakers were set to do battle to see which one would stay in the WWF. It would wind up being a poor main event. Following a storming Steel Cage Match between Bret and Owen Hart, The Undertaker vs. The Undertaker felt positively pedestrian. Fans hadn't really taken to the storyline in general, they just wanted the real Undertaker back on television. The match was short, going less than 10 minutes, and moved extremely slowly. This was not a successful feud for 'Taker, people didn't care for it at the time.
