Promo

The Undertaker: "Be not proud. The spirit of the Undertaker lives within the soul of all mankind - the eternal flame of life that cannot be extinguished; the origin of which cannot be explained. The answer lies in the everlasting spirit. Soon, all mankind will witness the rebirth of the Undertaker. [Der Gong des Takers ertönt und der Deadman rollt seine Augen hoch] I.. will not rest.. in peace."

Notes

- Dies ist die berühmte Promo, die der Taker in einem Videoeinspieler nach dem verlorenen Sargmatch gegen Yokozuna hielt, nachdem Yoko ihn mit Hilfe fast aller anwesenden Heels bezwungen und in den Sarg gesteckt hatte. Der Deadman meldete sich hier vorgeblich aus dem Sarg heraus. Nach seinem Schlusssatz folgte ein Spezialeffekt, in dem es so aussah, als würde der Taker gen Himmel entschweben - wobei der vermeintliche Taker hier Marty Jannetty in seinem Kostüm war. Der spektakulären Szenerie folgte eine mehrmonatige Pause des Takers, der erst beim SummerSlam sein Comeback feierte.

[1.0] "This further diminishes my opinion of this highly anticipated title match, which was already pretty dismal to begin with. Clichéd rhetoric and weak special effects as a garnish for a meaningless statement--to me, it's absolute Wrestlecrap, and I already said that during the original broadcast back in 1994--comparable to Paul Bearer being encased in concrete at the first WWE Great American Bash some years later."

[7.0] "At the time I was about 13 and was both scared and confused about this. It was a cool effect that I mostly bought into because I didn't know better. The promo from inside the casket was pretty good and unique too. The cheese and camp kind of override the legitimacy but it's fun to rewatch now."

[7.0] "While I'm not really a fan of Undertaker's later, darker supernatural stuff, I'm a big fan of the early more ostensibly goofy years. This promo and the levitating out of the coffin are some of the big highlights of this period."

[10.0] "This actually looks like something out of a classic campy 80s horror movie. Love this, definitely one of undertakers eariest moments"

[6.0] "Well I'm not a fan of Undertaker emerging to heavens, but the promo before that was really climatic. The crowd was silent, there was only Taker visible and his voice sounded great, making it a unique experience especially for the live audience."
