The Undertaker lost a Casket match to Yokozuna at the 1994 Royal Rumble when 10 heels ganged up on the Phenom and forced him into the double deep, double wide casket. As the group of baddies wheeled the Undertaker's final resting place up the aisle, the lights dimmed and the Deadman appeared on the video screen. "Be not proud, for the everlasting spirit of The Undertaker, lives in the souls of all mankind," he began, addressing those who had wronged him. He would vow never to rest in peace before being struck by lightning. Or something like that. An explosion occurred and "The Undertaker" rose from the video screen, high into the air in one of the most surreal moments ever produced by WWE. Sure, the guy hovering above the fans was really just Marty Jannetty in the Phenom's familiar attire but it still made for a completely shocking moment, the likes of which may never be seen again. And that is not necessarily a bad thing.
