WWE gambled on their audience's adoration of The Undertaker to turn a possible catastrophe into a clandestine clunker after 'The Deadman's partner Nathan Jones was deemed unfit to join him against The Big Show and A-Train.
Long before his undefeated streak ever felt under threat, 2003's 'Show Of Shows' was a bit of a night off for 'Booger Red' despite his partner's absence.
A Limp Bizkit entrance a full year after he'd binned the theme was yet more echoing of a long-distant past, whist Jones' run-in at the very end justified his absence throughout the body of the match - the Aussie whiffed a spin-kick in the aisle before posing with his partner for the closing beauty shots. And that's all they were. Jones had an awesome look, and Seattle was the only city to see it spotlighted on the 'Grandest Stage' before he disappeared from view.
