5. Neither Man Is As Healthy As They Once Were
It’s no secret that The Undertaker’s body has been in rough shape in recent years. We’ve seen reports that he’s had issues with his back, his hips, and his knees, with each area getting worse with time. On top of that, he suffered an apparent serious concussion at WrestleMania this year.
Sting’s knees and back aren’t exactly in good condition, either. If you go back to his time with TNA, go and watch him applying his own finishing move, the Scorpion Deathlock. He hasn’t been able to properly sit down and apply it in a long, long time. It looked terrible, but it’s really all he could do. That was with smaller opponents, for the most part. If he were to try and lock The Undertaker’s longer legs in and flip his heavier weight over, chances are that the move might look even worse.
With a combined 41 years of in-ring time between them (when WrestleMania 31 rolls around), it just isn’t fair to expect them to be in the proper shape and conditioning that a match of this magnitude would require.
