'Buckle Up, Teddy!' was a pretty divisive moment for Undertaker fans. Some felt it was too corny for a figure as terrifying as 'The Deadman' while others thought it was an absolute hoot. The more experienced 'Taker fans, however, instantly noticed the similarities between it and two moments that took place a decade earlier.

Yes, Teddy Long's wrongdoings in 2009 may have gotten him a limousine ride with 'The Phenom' at the wheel but he wasn't the first person to find himself at the mercy of the driving 'Deadman'. In 1999, Stephanie McMahon received an equal amount of protection from security because, like Teddy, she feared that 'Taker would come for her. And just like Teddy, she climbed into the limo and spoke to the driver - only to be greeted by the demonic Undertaker as he asked 'Where to, Stephanie?!'.

On a similar note, in 2001, 'Taker commandeered an ambulance meant for an injured Stone Cold Steve Austin but as Triple H told the driver to go, the American Badass gleefully greeted his rivals with a 'Well, boys!' and opened a can of whoop-ass on the Rattlesnake.

Simply put: If you've p*ssed off The Deadman, drive yourself out of the arena.
