5 WWE Casket Matches To Watch Before Daniel Bryan Vs Kane

On the January 29th edition of Smackdown, the long running feud between Daniel Bryan and Kane will be settled in the 20th ever Casket Match. Before anyone makes the joke that WWE will finish its burial job of Daniel Bryan, Bryan has pretty much owned Kane since Summerslam 2012 in one way or another. However, Kane just won€™t go away. Hopefully, this Casket Match will settle things. Whether it€™s Corporate Kane or The Demon Kane, he hasn€™t had much success against Bryan. Some fans may be unfamiliar with what to expect from a Casket Match, and some newer fans haven€™t ever seen one, since the last contest was in 2008. While The Undertaker brought the gimmick to WWE in 1992 and participated in over 90 percent of the matches, the earliest record of a Casket Match was between Dusty Rhodes and Ivan Koloff in 1980. Furthermore, what usually happens in a Casket Match is a lot of brawling around the ring, some striking and a slow pace, with a few exceptions. There are no pinfalls, so the psychology is based around closing the casket. If they€™re not around it, things aren€™t generally exciting. For that reason, casket matches also tend not to last very long. So, to get us in the mood for what to expect, here are 5 Casket Matches to watch, before the entire locker room empties out to help Kane against Daniel Bryan.
