7 Men The Undertaker Should Have Faced At WrestleMania 31
5. Kane
One of the most bizarre, ridiculous, and flat-out entertaining stories in WWE history was the supernatural sibling war of Kane vs. The Undertaker. For most fans, you cant talk about one without talking about the other. They battled countless times, tried to set each other on fire, and one of them was definitely responsible for murdering Undertaker's parents. Of course, they also teamed up on occasion to become one of the most dominant tag teams ever. It appears that their final match will go down as Bragging Rights 2010. It was a pretty forgettable match that ended with The Nexus helping to bury The Undertaker, which never received any storyline follow up. Heck, I was there for that match, and even I dont like to remember it. Now, Kane might not be the most exciting opponent for The Undertaker. After all, we saw them battle twice at previous WrestleManias. One match was great, and one was a bit of a dud. However, having Taker's last match be against Kane would be absolutely fitting. Sure, at 47-years-old, Kane really wouldnt benefit much from pinning his storyline brother. But he wouldn't have to win. It would be a great spectacle just to see them together one last time. Theres so much history between them, that they could still easily put on a compelling match. Of course, it wouldnt be a 5-star classic, but they could brawl well enough to make the fans go crazy. Also, if Kane is ready to hang up the mask next year, there would be no better way for them to both go out then to send each other back to hell.
As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
