Match ratings for WrestleMania 34

The Undertaker vs. John Cena

Great story, quick match

As we all know, Professional Wrestling is subjective. If you rate matches based on the in-ring work rate alone, John Cena vs. The Undertaker would no doubt score somewhere near the bottom of WrestleMania 34 matches.

If you're a fan of storytelling and spectacle, however, you'd probably rank it higher. In reality, you need both, and what they lacked in terms of the former, they more than made up for when it came to the latter.

But what these two achieved was something more special than work rate, more important than technical wrestling ability. They went out and proved that it takes decades of experience to be a Superstar.

The company must be given credit for how they told this story. They didn't rely on the well-worn way of doing things and actually left us guessing until the very last minute. And for this reason, the match didn't need to be anything special - Taker got a redemption of sorts and nobody is any the worse off for it.

Rating - 2.25/5
