While most professional wrestlers these days are busy in establishing themselves as the best in-ring technicians, WWE's history proves that one can make it big in the business without working 5-star classics night in and night out.

Yes, I am referring to The Undertaker and Kane, who got over with their larger-than-life characters. These two also helped in paving the way for supernatural characters to thrive in a business where maintaining kayfabe was once essential for everyone involved.

Since 1997, The Undertaker and Kane have feuded with each other, helped each other out, and had the WWE Universe convinced up until a certain point that they were actually brothers.

Storytelling drives professional wrestling, not just WWE. While The Phenom and The Demon didn't put on wrestling clinics when they squared off, their (kayfabe) history and intensity made every one of their encounters a must-see.

It goes without saying that without the Brothers of Destruction attempting to bury or set each other on fire, WWE wouldn't have been as diverse as it is today.
