10 WWE Legends That Require A Career Reevaluation

1. The Brothers Of Destruction

Expected to be the recipients of the most unlikely pro wrestling comeback match this decade, The Undertaker and Kane will be providing Shawn Michaels a base to bounce off of thanks to tenure rather than talent.

The most sacred of cows in 2018, the past several years of 'The Deadman's career have done much - rather fittingly - to bury a mid-2000s resurgence few predicted during the doldrums of the 'American Bad *ss' era. WrestleMania one-offs were at least enjoyable until he hit a Brock Lesnar brick wall in 2014. Returns haven't so much diminished but died, since.

On the other side of his hot tag, Kane's attentions have understandably been elsewhere over the past couple of years, but can anybody name a genuinely brilliant Kane contest outside of that time he dropped Albert with a hurricanrana in 2001?

And two wrongs have rarely made right, either. The Brothers Of Destruction were almost always deployed as thoughtless squash-merchants, with the quality of their work typically not up for analysis as long as fire and fireworks served as a dark distraction. As singles stars, their contributions are occasionally overstated, but as a doubles act they're quite possibly the most overrated.
