10 Moments WWE Don't Want You To Find On The Network
2. Hade Vansen Calls Out The Undertaker
Where to find it: SmackDown, December 12th 2008
A cult classic abandoned WWE storyline in the pantheon of abandoned WWE storylines, Hade Vansen's apparent hacking of SmackDown (the company used their favourite visual trickery then, too) to threaten the Undertaker was a one and done for the British star.
Long before NXT UK or even the mid-2010s golden era of Britwres stars transforming the scene into a hotbed (before the wrestlers and trainers themselves mired its legacy with abuse, bullying and mistreatment), there were a select few that broke out from the chasing pack to grasp opportunities across the pond.
Until the likes of Wade Barrett and (Irish, but still) Sheamus broke through, most fell short of the levels a Davey Boy Smith or William Regal reached. Vansen's stint only lasted as long as the incest angle between Paul Burchill and sister Katie Lea
It's oddly prescient too. As of this writing, 2020's blue brand botherer appears to have disappeared, but a new gang of unknown terrors have started messing with Monday Night Raw. Is Vansen on the comeback trail?
