[2018-10-06-WWE-Super Show-Down] Triple H vs The Undertaker

[fxnj]

No idea how anyone could dislike this unless they weren't into the style of their other matches. I quite enjoyed this and would slot it on the same level as their X-Seven match and above their two other Wrestlemania matches. I liked how they didn't try too hard to make the match feel epic by filling it with near falls or melodrama and instead went the route of it just being two legends having fun together. The beginning with some light hearted old man boxing cosplay set the tone pretty well. Still, the match didn't ignore their history of epics together and there were some nice counter-into-counter type moments alongside some references to past Wrestlemania matches. They both throw good punches and didn't shy away from using them, but they also sold them enough to keep them feeling meaningful. The Shawn Michaels and Kane interference stuff was also an entertaining way of filling time in between the big spots and covered nicely for possible holes in the main competitors' guys' cardio. It was funny seeing how easily Shawn Michaels got dropped by Undertaker's right hand when he tried running at him, and it somehow didn't stop being funny when it kept happening. The weapons dueling down the stretch was incorporated well and Undertaker's chairshots sounded nasty. Funny post-match angle as well with them initially going for a rehash of the ending to the match at XXVIII but then Undertaker/Kane being like "fuck this" and laying out H/Michaels.
