For one thing, it's overshadowed by Rock vs. Hogan, which may as well be the Hulk/Andre of the energy-drink generation. Another strike against the match is that it was a downer storyline. For the most part, evil Undertaker had Flair's number every whichway, even bloodying up son David, and closest friend Arn Anderson. Their match at WrestleMania had no rules, and promised something out of Death Wish, where an ordinary man is pushed too far. Blood was spilled, and both veterans took turns dishing out punishment with different motives (Flair for revenge, 'Taker for the fun of it). When Undertaker ultimately wins (busting out his dust-covered Tombstone in the end), he makes a show of counting all ten of his fingers to indicate the tenth win of the streak, one of the earliest acknowledgements of it.
