Ranking EVERY Undertaker Vs Kane Match From Worst To Best

13. Hell In A Cell (October 3rd, 2010)

Undertaker, Kane, WrestleMania XIV
WWE

The worst of an unexpected 2010 trilogy between the two, Undertaker's loss to Kane at Hell In A Cell was supposed to feel loaded with all sorts of pathos and story and craft and the various other synonyms for Actually Good Pro Wrestling the Sports Entertainment company had largely done away with at the turn of the decade.

Instead, the pair had yet another big bruiser bore, undermining the structure surrounding them even more than the fact that the equally boring Randy Orton/Sheamus scrap in there an hour earlier.

Leaning on the past when the match realistically had no place in the present, the company brought back Paul Bearer to side with The Undertaker against his own son, before revealing the set-up all along (etc) on the night itself.

The finish called for Bearer to shine a spotlight from the Urn in Undertaker's face during a Tombstone attempt, then hand it to Kane for him to complete the devilish deed. That this called for 'The Deadman' to kill the lights for no reason was stupid enough without the entire thing playing out in perplexing slow motion. As far as wrestling actors go, Undertaker, Kane and Bearer aren't the worst, but three industry icons were being made to look like hacks, and they knew it.
