Brock Lesnar vs Undertaker (WWE - 8/23/2015)

Second.

I actually watched this a few weeks ago as the lead-in to their HIAC match and I thought it was ten thousand times better than the Wrestlemania match and fifty thousand times better than I was expecting. Thought it was a pretty awesome spectacle and exactly the kind of match Lesnar is great in. "SUPLEX CITY, BITCH!" "I'm gonna kill you, you son of a bitch" He has such a cool Hansenish aura where you wonder if he isn't about to go off the script any minute and the way he was tossing a six hundred year old Undertaker around was sort of harrowing. Undertaker looks broken beyond belief but he's a proud man and refuses to take his beating lying down. All the strikes were potatoey and by the end Lesnar was six shades of purple, covered in blood and drool and looked like an uncooked chicken some kids had been using as a makeshift football. Big spots were BIG and the crowd were great the whole way. That F5 on the announce table was crazy. Undertaker hobbling around and taking three hours to hit a legdrop even worked for me considering the beating he took. The double sit-up spot is prime meme material but the way it led to them walloping each other in the face fucking ruled. Finish felt sort of dumb initially, but with the replays and knowing that it set up the HIAC I wound up actually liking it, plus it totally played into the story of Undertaker not being above hitting Lesnar in the balls to win. I'm a total sucker for these big spectacle type matches and this hit the mark way more than I figured. It mostly stayed away from WWE Main Event Epic and they never went apeshit kicking out of finishers. Plus, you know, BIG SPECTACLE. Shockingly good match. I won't vote for it, but still.
