5 Ups & 6 Downs From WWE Super Show-Down

1. The Bad, Old, Days

Triple H Vs The Undertaker was a dive bar tribute act to several matches involving the four men out there, but the echoes only served to remind audiences of days when any of these limp and listless fossils actually meant something to an industry they've given so much to.

Undertaker sold Triple H's Tombstone kick out with the shock he expressed when 'HBK' kicked out at WrestleMania 25. 'The Deadman' cuffed the referee in frustration, just as he did when his Ground Zero: In Your House encounter with Michaels descended into chaos. The finish actually finished The Undertaker unlike in his 'End Of An Era' match with Hunter six long years ago. The combatants even briefly fought into the crowd like at WrestleMania X7, though this match was as inferior a comparison to that spirited brawl as the Melbourne Cricket Ground lawn furniture was to the priceless padded chairs from the Houston Astrodome.

21 years and one day ago, Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker had a Hell In A Cell match that welcomed Kane into WWE's world, and was so good that it moved Jim Cornette to lambast a pitiful WCW Hulk Hogan/Roddy Piper steel cage match as a truly pathetic alternative. WWE shamelessly delivered something just as ponderous here - the only difference was the audience's extremely generous reception of it. Applause for a Hell's Gate escape was polite in the extreme, but a "this is awesome" chant early on bordered on parody. Much like the entire match.

It proved beyond reproach that WWE is nothing it used to be and everything it once despised. Some very old moments were performed by very old men, and they'll all do it all over again in Saudi Arabia next month because f*cking loads of money is being dished out to make it so.

Is this awesome?
