Part of this falls on the production team, which missed more shots on Sunday than a drunken gunslinger. I will say that it's impressive that a 46-year-old can still criss-cross the ring after balancing slightly on the top rope, and throw a front dropkick. You can't take that away from Shane; it's still an impressive visual.

But after the table elbow from the go-home Raw (where he only grazed 'Taker with his wrist), Shane hits the trash can with a one-footed kick, embedding it into Undertaker's thigh, as opposed to a more impressive strike. The replay even spotlighted that the trash can didn't hit anywhere critical, and ended up a waste of a photographic stunt. If there's not going to be any blood, the spots really need to hit.
