WWE: Ranking Undertaker's 21 WrestleMania Victories Worst To Best
17. The Big Show And A-Train, WrestleMania XIX
Nathan Jones was not a very good wrestler, a fact WWE discovered sometime before WrestleMania XIX went on the air. With this tidbit of information in their back pocket, a backstage vignette featuring Jones receiving a beatdown at the hands of the Full Blooded Italians was aired and the tag match pitting he and Undertaker against Big Show and A-Train, which would have been a contender for worst WrestleMania match ever, was changed to a handicap match. Faced with the biggest challenge to his storied streak yet, Undertaker would have to fend off both of his heavyweight opponents if he wanted to leave Safeco Field in Seattle with a victory. The Dead Man hit the ring as Limp Bizkit performed his former theme song, "Rollin'" live. That would be the end of the energy and excitement, however, as Undertaker, Big Show and A-Train utilized a very basic, plodding power offense that failed to wow the audience. An appearance by Jones late in the match, which saw him take down Big Show in the aisle way and flatten A-Train with a standing heel kick, piqued the crowd's interest and Undertaker's Tombstone on A-Train popped the audience as it typically does. Undertaker improved to 11-0 but it was in a match that fans are more likely to forget than celebrate.
