10 Terrifying Wrestling Curses That Will Chill Your Blood
2. The Undertaker Video Game Curse
On WWE SmackDown Vs. Raw 2007, the Undertaker's character says the following to Chris Benoit's character in the game's story mode:
"If you insist on making this mistake, then your grieving family will have no one to blame but you when the inevitable occurs."
As eerie as this reads in retrospect, it's of course significantly worse: Benoit's family weren't afforded the luxury of grief because, in a brutal and senseless act, when he decided to take his life, he took theirs with him.
That's not all: on the 2006 edition of the game, Undertaker is pitted against Eddie Guerrero in the story mode, as part of which Guerrero steals the urn and uses the Undertaker as an instrument for his own amusement. At the climax of the story, the Undertaker enacts his revenge by choke-slamming Guerrero into a casket before closing the lid. Eddie died mere days after the game was released.
Once again, this is not a real curse.
No witchery was somehow cast through programming code; in an industry as gruesome as pro wrestling was, when a mortician character was introduced into its fictional universe, this sort of thing was bound to happen as a bleak statistical inevitability.
