WWE: 10 Failed Attempts At Re-Creating WrestleMania Magic

3. The Undertaker vs. Kane (WrestleMania 20)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTctYEmPLfs The Brothers of Destruction have spent years laying waste to all their opponents, and for a time they were both at the top of the rankings as equals. However, the early days of their relationship proved to be very violent to each other. When Kane first made his debut, he laid out his brother and gave Michaels the win in the very first Hell in a Cell match. Undertaker was shocked that his brother was alive and had aligned himself with his former manager Paul Bearer, but he refused to fight his own brother. It took a lot of convincing, but eventually Kane his Taker's breaking point and The Dead Man agreed to a match at WrestleMania 14. The match proved to be Undertaker's toughest at the time, and his streak was in jeopardy of ending. It took not one, not two, but three tombstone piledrivers for Undertaker to finally put Kane down. The match proved to be just the beginning as the two would go on to have more battles, and eventually team together, to create one of the most dominating teams in WWE history. Six years later, Undertaker and Kane had their WrestleMania rematch at WrestleMania 20. Before their encounter, there had been some significant changes to both men; Kane no longer wore his trademark mask and was able to speak on his own while The Undertaker gained a badass biker persona. But at WrestleMania 20, Undertaker returned to his roots and returned to his Dead Man ways. He even had Paul Bearer back as his manager. The match itself, other than the hype for Undertaker's return to the ring, was not as memorable as the one at 14. It was short, and it lacked having anything innovative or amazing to highlight.
