Good lord this is bad, like it’s really bad. It’s not even comically bad to where you can say that it’s so bad that it comes full circle to being sort of good, and if anyone you know tries to tell you that this match isn’t that bad, call the police on them because they can’t be trusted.
Where to start with The Brothers of Destruction vs. D-Generation X from WWE Crown Jewel 2018? Well for what it’s worth, the crowd are actually fully awake for this match, and yes you guessed it, this match got a few “This is Awesome” chants, proving that the people in attendance either had no taste or no eyesight. Are there any redeeming qualities to it? Surprisingly yes because Shawn Michaels, the man who hadn’t wrestled in eight years going into it, was the MVP of the match and looked like he had only lost maybe half a step. He was still doing the kip up with ease, the Sweet Chin Music looks as clean as it did when he retired, and outside of him looking very weird with no hair, “The Heartbreak Kid” genuinely looked like he was having the time of his life.
As for the other three men involved, it was far from their best night. The Undertaker was in the midst of the longest retirement tour known to man, a tour that revolved around him wanting one more good match that just wouldn’t happen until the world broke down and WWE had to make his retirement match cinematic. Kane looked like Glen Jacobs ate the actual Kane and was still bloated from how much he ate, and Triple H tore his pec about five minutes in, which relegated him down to Double H status.
This match is a slow moving disaster that no one attempts to stop. From Triple H getting hurt, to Kane’s mask and hair being punched off his head, to The Brothers of Destruction not even attempting to catch Michaels performing a Moonsault to the outside, mainly because Taker couldn’t move quicker than a slug and Kane was still looking for his mask. Triple H also gets chokeslammed on the announce table while the monitors are still there, which actually looks pretty ugly, but not as ugly as the Pedigree he gives Kane to end the match.
With a combined age of 206, DX and The Brothers of Destruction put on a “disasterclass” in what not to do inside a wrestling ring. But there is a silver lining, this show would get better after the conclusion of the main event, because it ended. Never watch this show.
