Considering what happened to poor Austin at the hands of the evil Undertaker, being tossed over a bridge into freezing cold waters doesn't seem like such a horrible end. A little more than a year after Brian Pillman nearly shot him to death, the Texas Rattlesnake was embroiled in a feud with The Undertaker that also took a very dark turn. On an episode of Raw in 1998, Taker got his hands on Austin, presumably for a sacrifice. Later on in the show, we're taken to a funeral home, where Taker and Paul Bearer pull up, transporting Austin inside in a hearse. Cut to a very, very gruesome scene where Stone Cold was almost embalmed alive. In case you weren't sure, embalming someone involves injecting them with a fluid that keeps their dead body looking presentable for a short period of time, typically to preserve them for a viewing or funeral. Yeah. They were going to do that to Stone Cold while The Undertaker chanted in another language. Austin almost got stabbed with a massive needle before Kane came in out of nowhere and attacked his kin. Talk about creepy.
