Listening to Bruce Prichard defend The Undertaker's match opposite Yokozuna at the 1994 Royal Rumble on his Something To Wrestle With podcast series is a thing of beauty; feeling the Casket Match - during which 'Taker was hammered by a number of heels before being stuffed in the coffin - was entertaining, Prichard also loved the melodrama.

Fans of The Wrestling Observer certainly didn't, and ended up voting that WWF Title tussle the worst on the pay-per-view.

The '94 Rumble was a defining moment in Undertaker's career, and that's mainly because his character would start to progress as an in-ring performer (forgoing much of the slow, zombie-like movement) afterwards in favour of a faster, more current style.

Still, the whole thing is undeniably silly; shown via pre-taped footage lamenting his loss and vowing to return, a mock Undertaker was then raised up into the arena rafters and depicted as floating away to heaven. This was classic mid-90's WWF silliness, and hokey or not it merits at least one viewing.
