The Brothers of Destruction. You had mid life crisis biker taker, and Kane, who in 2001 was already stale. I know Old Man Jones will be the first to discredit Kane, but in 2001 Kane could work a very quick style, and was totally wasted with Taker, who was fat and out of shape, probably doing some of the worst work of his career. All that the team was good for, was seemingly ensuring everyone kept in line with the pecking order, as they never actually put over any of the younger teams, nor did they really put over any top guy. It was your classic bullshit old school carny garbage that you'd see with the likes of bad news brown. They never jobbed but they also never really won against anyone of note... so nothing was accomplished by them being together. I get the novelty of two strong badass characters being paired together, but think about all the times they made the much more over, more fresh, TLC tag teams (E and C, Dudleyz and Hardyz) look weak. Think about what they did to DDP and Kanyon.
Plus their match with Kronik... who are a whole different useless tag team all together.
I think it had a lot to do with Undertaker, as I do see Kane as a fairly selfless performer... but their performances as the brothers of destruction were useless, self serving and most importantly, lame as fuck.
