10 Wrestling Repeats That Just Didn't Work
10. Wrestlers Steal The Undertaker's Urn
Since the passing of William 'Paul Bearer' Moody in 2013, the urn hasn't been part of The Undertaker's act. In truth, the object was rarely part of the gimmick from the late-1990's onwards, once Undertaker morphed into simply existing as a standalone character unlike any other.
CM Punk was the last wrestler to gain possession of the urn, but he most certainly wasn't the first.
Back in 1994-1995, members of the 'Million Dollar Corporation' were booked to steal the thing and thus apparently gain some sort of storyline power over The Undertaker. Ted DiBiase instructed the likes of IRS and Kama to get him that urn.
Unfortunately, the story normally fell flat. It also became somewhat comical at times, especially when Kama melted down the urn into a gold chain for himself!
Even armed with the topical passing of Bearer, Punk didn't have much chance with the plot point, because fans had never really shown interest in the idea to begin with.
Worse, some felt offended by the use of Bearer's death for the purposes of promoting a WrestleMania match.
