10 Times KARMA WAS REAL In Wrestling
10. I'm Sorry, How's Your Casket Match Coming?
Recently on Twitter, a troll buried AEW's Wheeler YUTA, claiming that Steve Austin must be appalled at the idea that comparisons are being drawn between the two men. Kevin Nash - who should be allowed a mean-spirited laugh, given the horrific time he's had of late - replied "Don't worry he ain't watching".
The Undertaker piped up in response to that, tweeting on March 4 "Huge pop!!"
This was such sh*tty form from a good old boy with bad old politics: an unnecessarily cruel jab at someone who by all accounts is a nice young man attempting to make it in the wrestling mainstream.
Brilliantly, 24 hours later, Jack Perry and Christian Cage worked Undertaker's signature Casket gimmick match at AEW Revolution and, in the process, absolutely destroyed his body of work in the genre.
'Taker Vs. Shawn Michaels at Royal Rumble 1998 was a bloody good crack at the stip, but elsewhere, the Undertaker Casket match was a tedious, artless walk-and-brawl. In contrast, Perry Vs. Cage was exquisitely crafted. Cage didn't so much wrestle as scurry like the rat that he is, only gaining momentum with his sly dark arts experience. He could swipe at Perry's legs, and send him back-first into the ring steps, but he could not withstand the vengeance of the just babyface no matter how much dirt he threw in his face. Veering in tone between schlock and hatred but in an impressively seamless way, it really was an incredible piece of business perfect for what it had to be.
The Undertaker and his horrendous line of t-shirts could never.
