Give a (dead) guy a break.

The Undertaker was rightly miffed at the WWF during a torturous stretch in the early-to-mid-90s. One of the most popular gimmicks around was handed weak opponent after weak opponent and expected to make the best of it. For example, between 1993-1995, 'Taker had to contend with Giant Gonzales, a doppelgänger, King Kong Bundy and more.

That'd be enough to p*ss anyone off, and even a company man like 'Taker had his breaking point. Bruce Prichard once admitted on his 'Something To Wrestle With' pod that his pal cornered him backstage, sighed and asked why the heck he was repeatedly asked to make magic with such a string of duffers when he was capable of so much more.

So, almost-hilariously, the company programmed him against another one. 'King' Mabel was someone Vince had stupidly high hopes for, and it was The Undertaker who had to try and give the big lump some worthwhile matches.
