Oh boy, this match is quite the infamous one. KroniK, the team of Bryan Clark & Brain Adams, better known as Adam Bomb and Crush in the WWF respectively, were put together in WCW in 2000 and held the WCW Tag Team Championships on two occasions. Despite not being picked up by WWE after the buying of WCW, they eventually got signed and were put right into a feud with the Brothers of Destruction Undertaker and Kane. It was this feud that ended their WWE careers just as they began. The feud led to their infamous match at Unforgiven 2001 where they did such a bad job, it was their last WWE appearance, ending their run at under a month. Let's get into this.
KroniK rushes out of the ring to brawl with the Brothers of Destruction on the outside during their entrance, with Adams fighting Undertaker and Clark fighting Kane. Undertaker sends Adams in the ring and hits a big boot followed by a leg drop. Undertaker & Kane continue to beatdown Adams before Adams hits a backbreaker on Kane. Clark tags in and has some really bad, soft looking offense, including two big boots and a reverse roundhouse kick in the corner. Kane hits a neckbreaker followed a bad looking shoulder breaker. The Undertaker tags in and hits Old School before locking in an armbar, but Adams breaks it up. Adams tags in and dropkicks Undertaker before Undertaker awkwardly dodges a clothesline and hits Adams. Adams hits a very gentle kick on Undertaker before clotheslining him out of the ring.
Taker pulls Adams out of the ring and lightly throws Adams into the ring post. Adams hardly even bumps off the post before Clark hits a diving shoulder tackle on Undertaker. KroniK starts double teaming Kane, awkwardly throwing Kane into the ring apron before going back to the Undertaker. Back in the ring, they hit a double shoulder tackle before Adams locks in a headlock on Undertaker. KroniK continues to work over Undertaker until Taker hits a DDT on Clark.
Kane gets the hot tag and runs wild, including barely getting Clark up for a sidewalk slam before going for a double chokeslam. KroniK fights out, only to take a double clothesline from Kane. Undertaker tags in and Brothers of Destruction double team KroniK, sending Adams from the ring in the process. Undertaker goes for the chokeslam on Clark, but KroniK's manager Stevie Richards runs in to stop him. Taker punches him out, but that allows Adams to hit a jawbreaker on Undertaker. KroniK goes for a double chokeslam, but Taker fights out and Kane takes out Adams with a diving clothesline. Undertaker hits Clark with a chokeslam for the win. After the match, Stevie Richards tries to blindside Undertaker with a chair, only to eat a chokeslam from Kane for his troubles
The Verdict
Honestly, I've heard this match is the absolute pits, but it was nowhere near one of the worst matches I've ever seen. A lot of KroniK's offense did look really bad and soft and there were a few stunted spots, but that's really it.
