Nobody could claim with a straight face that The Undertaker vs. Kane at WrestleMania XIV was an in-ring classic. It wasn't, and yet the presentation had enough juice to save the day. Today, it's a fond memory for both parties, and sticks out as a fine use of 'Taker on the biggest show of the year.

Two years and four months later, they'd clash again at SummerSlam 2000. The circumstances were different; The Undertaker had shed his supernatural vibes to become a biker, and Kane's lore had already been through the wringer. Still, fans expected a decent brawl.

They wouldn't get one.

The SummerSlam effort went just over seven minutes and ended in a no contest when 'Taker ripped Kane's mask off. This 'No DQ' match (!?) was a poor bridge between TLC brilliance and the show's Triple Threat main event. It might be the worst 'Taker vs. Kane match ever.
