8 Reasons Shane McMahon Vs. The Undertaker Just Didn't Work

Before you say, "C'mon, Shane's 46 and Undertaker's 51, what did you expect?", I'd counter by saying that they didn't need a half hour. The story itself would be fine receiving an epic length of time, but given the limitations of the performers (especially Shane), giving them thirty minutes to creak their way through a duel was as excessive as it can get.

Would anyone have felt short-changed with fifteen minutes? Whenever there's a match that goes too long, ask yourself if the essential elements could have been satisfied with abbreviation. You could have probably gotten everything in with a match that lasted half as long. In going thirty, Shane's arms were so soaked in sweat, he could have irrigated all of Nebraska just by spinning around in a circle with his arms out.
