Where: WWF Survivor Series 1994

Why It Sucked: The WWF tried to load up on gimmicks and hysteria for the 1994 Survivor Series by booking a major return, celebrity guest referee and second go-around for the 'Casket' gimmick. The Undertaker returned, future internet meme Chuck Norris was the ref and Yokozuna was surely going for a big snooze in that box.

This was arguably worse than its predecessor at the Royal Rumble though.

Again, Survivors lacked freshness. Fans had already watched Yoko's eyes bulge out of his skull whenever he went near the coffin, and they knew they were going to see some slow brawling before 'Taker put his foe down for good. Plus, Norris was more of a distraction than a worthwhile extra.

There aren't many casket bouts worth watching, but this is defo one to skip. If anything, The Undertaker's OTT "passing" at the Rumble makes that the bigger spectacle. The sequel should've happened on house shows, if anything.
