WWE: Night of Champions- World Heavyweight Championship: Kane vs. Undertaker (2010)

Source:WWE- is there anyone who delivers the leg drop better than The Undertaker, including Hulk Hogan?

“A sibling rivalry is renewed as Kane defends the World Heavyweight Championship against The Undertaker at WWE Night of Champions 2010: Courtesy of WWE Network.”

From WWE 

I know I’m bias here because The Undertaker is my favorite pro wrestler of all-time, at least when it comes to the super heavyweights. (300 pounds or more) Ric Flair might be my favorite all-time wrestler, but Undertaker is right there. But his so-called brother Kane is very close as far as athletic and wrestling ability, might be even stronger with a 20 pound or so weight advantage. But if Undertaker is not the best of WWE at the time, he’s always in the top 3. So I could give him a slight advantage over Kane.

When you are talking about Kane vs. Undertaker, you are talking about two of the best super heavyweights of all-time. Not just because they’re so big strong (even though that really helps) but also because both of them are so athletic, quick, fast even. You might think they were a couple of power forwards who both run the floor very well, who are both big and strong, going at it in the NBA. Like maybe Shawn Kemp vs Karl Malone. (For you old school NBA fans)

So anytime you see men this big and strong, who are all muscle, and so quick and athletic as well, going at it, you know it’s going to be a war, with a lot of physical punishment (even if it’s staged) and it’s just a mater of which one has the better conditioning and can avoid getting nailed by the other’s big moves, especially late in the match that will decide it.

WWE: WWE 2013- Alberto Del Rio vs The Big Show- World Heavyweight Championship


Source:WWE- Alberto Del Rio vs The Big Show for the WWE-WHC.

"Alberto Del Rio and Big Show clash during the main event of SmackDown for the World Heavyweight Championship in a Last Man Standing Match." 

From the WWE

I don't know much about Albert Del Rio, but he can't be more than 240 pounds. And he was going up against a man who was at least 7'0 and weighed 450 pounds in The Big Show (real life height and weight) with a lot of that weight being muscle. So at least on paper this looks like a mismatch. 

But in a last man standing match you can take all the punishment that you can physically take, but if you avoid getting counted out or submitting and your opponent makes a big mistake, which is what Big Show did, you have the ability to recover and deliver a lot of punishment with no rules. So now it's Albert Del Rio and his 240, plus every hard, heavy object that he can find, against one big man. With Big Show not able to do anything about it.
