From sh*tting pants to sh*tting the bed, The Undertaker's WrestleMania main event CV came full circle with a turd of a topliner against Roman Reigns.

The battle of big men in black, Reigns' similar physical appearance did at least portray him as 'The Deadman's younger, hungrier replacement. It was just a shame he was inadvertently made to look so old and starved by virtue of his opponents' obvious failings.

This Undertaker had sadly been hiding in sight since The Streak collapsed against Brock Lesnar. The mind was clearly willing enough to try and put 'The Big Dog' over before he entered the banter years of his career, but the body was far, far too weak.
