3. Undertaker vs. 'Underfaker' – SummerSlam 1994
SummerSlam 1994 is famous for having one of the best WWE matches ever in Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart. On that same card was one of the company’s worst matches in the Undertaker vs. Undertaker match-up.

The problem with this match was that Undertaker was booked to wrestle a man that was basically booked like himself: a zombie-like monster that didn’t experience pain. But instead of that match coming off as ‘indestructible force meets immovable object’, it came off instead as ‘a mountain wrestling a glacier’.
The in-ring action was so boring that the fans were completely silent during the match. Commentator Vince McMahon tried to sell that as the fans ‘being stunned’ but the truth is that they were bored, not stunned.
Worse, the actual storyline came across as cartoonish and silly instead of serious. It sucked so bad that even today, WWE doesn’t discuss this rivalry ever. It was so bad in its execution that if it wasn’t for the real Undertaker wearing purple gloves, fans wouldn’t’ve been able to distinguish one wrestler from another.
