In the ad, the chair umpire and the commentator are doing their job as the D-Generation X are playing tennis as a team against The Undertaker. Also, the serve is upon the Undertaker and he comes closer as he is all ready to fight them. Then, the commentator asks if somebody from DX wants to serve and Billy Gunn takes it and hits the ball high in the air.

Surprisingly, Kane enters the court in the next shot and then the ‘Deadman’ gets all aggravated. Likewise, the whole tone of the court changes into a WWE arena and “things have gotten out of control” as the commentator exclaims. In the end, the calm chair umpire calls the score “15-love” (15-0), which makes it even more humorous.

The Undertaker Vs Kane

The Undertaker and Kane rivalry is something that eternalized the Attitude Era. ‘The Brothers of Destruction’ dominated the ring and had an impeccable chemistry that made many wonder if they were actually brothers. Oddly, the Undertaker’s first incarnation was initially ‘Kane the Undertaker’, with a costume similar to ‘The Big Red Machine’.
