WWE: 10 Failed Attempts At Re-Creating WrestleMania Magic

4. Randy Orton vs. The Undertaker (SummerSlam 2005)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXRXFsxzNz4 Back in 2005, Randy Orton had given himself the nickname "The Legend Killer." He went out of his way to RKO and defeat as many legends of the business as possible. It was his own way of solidifying himself as a future WWE legend. Naturally, this would mean that Orton would have to face The Undertaker, perhaps one of the biggest legends in WWE history. Unfortunately for Randy, he chose his match with The Undertaker to take place at WrestleMania 21. Now we all know what happens when it comes to Undertaker and WrestleMania matches, however, there was a time where people thought that Undertaker was due to lose at WrestleMania at some point. There was still a bit of uncertainty when it came to the outcome of Undertaker's WrestleMania matches. "The Legend Killer" had the perfect fit for being someone who could use a win over the Undertaker at WrestleMania to propel himself higher than many could dare dream of in WWE. That feeling of "could this be the night Undertaker loses" definitely gave their WrestleMania encounter a bit more excitement. However, in the end, Undertaker once more became victorious. Orton would be sidelined due to a nagging injury, but upon his return he and The Undertaker rekindled their feud culminating in a match at SummerSlam of that year. This time, Orton would manage to sneak away with a victory over The Undertaker. A win over The Undertaker is great for any career of course, but it was an expected finish that served to undo what took place four months earlier.
