The Undertaker vs. Yokozuna

[2.0] ""The Taker vs. Yokozuna match was honestly quite mediocre. Even with Chuck Norris helping Taker as a babyface, I didn't get why Norris was a face or how he was somehow stronger than two or three wrestlers. Obviously, the predictable result took away some of the hype, but honestly, what else could we have expected? ""

[3.0] "Probably one of the most famous of The Undertaker Casket matches out there and also one of the worst. These matches are pretty much all the same as Undertaker's opponent suddenly displays a fear caskets but this one annoyed me because it wasn't consistent nor did it feel like it made sense. Kamala and Heidenreich felt like characters that should be scared of Taker's boogie woogie schtick but guys like Yokozuna and Rusev don't have that same simple mindedness that makes the cliche effective. It also goes out the window when Yokozuna just forgets this phobia and starts brawling with Taker while inside the Casket. Chuck Norris is also special guest enforcer which usually means he does nothing most of the match but take a paycheck. Norris keeps King Kong Bundy and Bam Bam Bigelow at bay but doesn't notice IRS interfering. IRS the taxman and forever jobber to the stars basically has the match won for Yokozuna but doesn't close the casket for some reason giving Taker time to recover. What a geek. Jeff Jarrett also tries to interfere but only because I guess Bundy and Bam Bam didn't want to or couldn't take one of Chuck Norris's shitty thrust kicks. Jarrett takes a funny bump though so that's appreciated. Yokozuna also takes a good bump from a big boot and falls into two casket giving Undertaker the chance to close the lid but not before smashing Mr Fuji's flag because apparently Undertaker is also motivated by his hatred of Japanese patriotism. Classic New Generation bollocks"

[2.0] "This match had two things going for it: Chuck Norris kicked Jeff Jarrett and Undertaker did a couple of his flying clotheslines. The rest was absolute garbage due to endless standing around and posturing, Undertaker doing his slow-moving zombie shtick, Yokozuna being almost entirely-immobile due to his horrifying girth, and a bunch of interference."

[5.0] "This one I would say stays in the Middle, If had moments like Chuck Norris there throwing some punches and then some of the team of Ted DiBiase appearing, but still the start was a little strange with those psychological powers of The Undertaker, very cartoonish, but a end that was okay. 5/10 [***]"

[3.0] "While it wasn't the overbooked monstrosity that was their Rumble match, this was just a dull outing with nothing of real note to justify it being the main event, especially over the excellent World Title match. The highlight is a Chuck Norris kick and Taker's usually great entrance. This was just a waste of the main event spot."

[5.0] "A logical and solid enough revenge casket match for Taker. Not as good a match nor did it have the 'spectacle' that the Rumble one did, so it is certainly worse, but decent enough. Not sure if it was good enough to be worthy of main eventing a PPV, though. It was slow and basic at times, and Taker kind of had to look stupid as he sort of waited for the Chuck Norris stuff to happen while he had the advantage on Yoko. Overall, this was perfectly fine, but nothing worth going out of your way to see unless you love the classic Undertaker gimmick."

[2.0] "Was only fifteen minutes but felt like way more. Another of Undertaker's many PPV stinkers over the years. I'm a Chuck Norris mark but seeing if he would kick somebody was the only interest I had in this match. Thought it was super boring the whole way through."

[7.0] "A rematch from the casket match they had at the royal rumble earlier that year. Nothing too much different in this one other than just a more focused match and maybe some better moments of interference. Chuck norris was great in this, loved the shot of the staredown between him and bundy and bigelow. ***1/2"

[5.0] "This was a rematch of their Royal Rumble match from earlier in the year. Undertaker and Yoko have surprisingly good chemistry in the ring. The result of this match is different than the Rumble because you have to give Undertaker his win back. Plus, you've got Chuck Norris roundhouse kicking Jeff Jarrett, which should make this an automatic ten, but I will control myself and remain impartial. Decent match, but a weak main event."

[4.0] "Another casket match between yokozuna and the undertaker was unnecessary but this wasn't as bad as it could've been i actually liked the interference from the million dollar corporation in this match and at one point you did think that yokozuna was gonna win again but overall 4/10"

[7.0] "Ok now this is very good, the ring work to the angle and everything, this is a very good match between two guys who can work with each other, nothing classic about it but the booking is incredible and the match is fun (***1/2)"

[7.0] "I thought this was a good effort that achieved everything that it needed to. There were some slight lulls in action here and there, and I would have liked to see Chuck Norris do a bit more, but for the most part they kept things moving well enough and the interference worked to add some chaos that effectively played off their match at the Royal Rumble. The way Yokozuna sells fatigue is just great - I love when he just topples over backwards and lands straight on his ass just trying to stand up to capitalise on the IRS run in. His facial expressions in general are quite underrated, he's very good at showing fear as well. Perhaps a slightly generous rating, but I thought it good, simple fun."

[4.0] "Meh, I don't think that I was in need for another Casket Match with Yoko and Taker. It was basically the same match they had at the Royal Rumble but less exciting and the interferences made less sense than back then. Why did Bam Bam and Bundy stand still not doing anything? Why didn't IRS close the lid when he threw Undertaker in the casket? Why did Jarrett immidately run off when Norris kicked him? Another disappointing main event."

[5.0] "Probably as good a amtch as you could get out of Taker and Yoko in 94, but nothing to go out to find either. 15 minutes feel like way more time specially in the middle. It has some cool moments at the end. Chuck kicking Jarret and takers always impressive jumping lariat. Middle of the road main event"

[5.0] "This match was a pleasant surprise. It didn't set the world alight, but I expected this match to be a bit of a slog, what with a VERY slow Yokozuna and Undertaker having a bad track record when it's coming to facing opponents of Yokozuna's stature. I came away from this match happy with it and the outcome and it was one of the better matches of the night."

[7.0] "Overall a very entertaining match. The two of them worked well together, and with the great sell work, put together a great match. I agree the "Special Enforcer" angle could have been used more, but was still a fun aspect of the match."

[7.0] "A fine match. I think Undertaker and Yokozuna did a great job! Had fun watching this match! Can't complain. A good 7/10."

[7.0] "Taker and Yoko brought their A game to this one, the two seemed to genuinely love working together and when allowed, brought out the best in each other imo; no doubt thanks in part to their legit backstage friendship. Yoko does a good job selling how terrifying Taker can be, and Chuck Norris helping scare away Yoko? s gang of heels (and delivering a monster of a sidekick with an equally monster sell job to Double J) was a nice touch as well."

[4.0] "Wasn't as bad as their 94 Rumble encounter. The final blow off to their feud and Yoko wouldn't be back until Mania 11. The idea was to send him away to fat camp but he came back bigger than ever and it didn't end very well."

[6.0] "We got to see more of the Taker/Yoko sequence in this one than we did at the Royal Rumble, and they prove that they actually had some fun chemistry working together. Having Chuck Norris as a special enforcer helped add a sense of intrigue into the bout, though I would love to see him do something more than just kicking Jeff Jarrett in the face. This was a fun match that turned out to be slightly better than their Rumble encounter, even if that's not saying a lot. [***1/4]"

[5.0] "Their last match with the coffins was much more interesting and dynamic. plus there was a unique feature with a dozen people attacking the Coffin. on the same match I can only bet 5"

[2.0] "It wasn't the travesty that was their Royal Rumble match. However, I still wouldn't really call it any good. Also, 15 minutes is way too long for these two."

[4.0] "Yes, it was a more worthwhile chapter between them this time than with the Royal Rumble. Yokozuna already mentally lost the battle before the start, again fearing and fearing the coffin near the ring. Again, massive interventions were needed again, but Chuck Norris got involved was epic and cool. The Undertaker finally defeated the cunning healers and took over in confrontation."

[7.0] "I always liked those years Taker - a silent tough guy with creepy manager walking with mysterious urn, and to beat which needed a whole group of company's top heels. This time, even this did not help and the good finally won evil. Really worthy of attention match and good show ending."

[9.0] "Hey, I actually liked this match a lot now that I think about it! Something about these two huge guys, with vastly different shapes but both capable of some real nice speed and agility, I think they meshed real well here, props to both guys."
