Shane McMahon and The Undertaker miraculously found a way to make the Dallas crowd feel the same pain their weathered frames were enduring at WrestleMania 32 - they made them wait.
A match set up for the one spot it at least gallantly delivered didn't need to be the indulgent trading of sh*tty submissions and dated hardcore tropes, but that's what 'The Deadman' and 'The Boy Wonder' brought to Dallas before Shane needlessly hurled himself from the top of the cage through the table - a first for this particular version of the steel structure.
This brave and idiotic risk was at very least noble - everything else they attempted over the exhausting 30-minute war was anything but.
