Triple H and The Undertaker later abandoned this match from WrestleMania canon when attempting to sell the final two parts of the four act Deadman/DX arc at the turn of the 2010s, but it's a spirited headline-worthy brawl lost to time because of everything else on the card.
Still in career form ahead of the quadricep injury that changed everything later that year, 'The Game' ably assisted Undertaker in assembling a minor classic despite the 'American Bad Ass' rank efforts of the day.
Though a replay of the spot from the wrong angle revealed that the biggest bump was in fact the safest, it didn't hijack the hedonistic glee of watching the company legend chase around the man that would be king. Triple H was once even better than he claimed to be - this was better than just "That Damn Good".
