15 Off Air WWE Moments You Weren't Supposed To See

6. Paul Bearer's Murder Rehearsals

In 2004, The Undertaker was preparing to dismiss on/off manager Paul Bearer for perhaps the final time at the reprised Great American Bash. After winning a handicap match against The Dudley Boyz, 'Taker encased his portly old friend in a 'concrete crypt'. It was as awful as it sounds.

Lord only knows how they could refrain from laughing during rehearsals.

Bearer's over-the-top pleading was bad enough, but all the WWE runners, workers, cameramen and other staff watching must have made the trial run super-awkward. The leaked footage above seems to show an Undertaker who just wants to get the stunt over with so he can move on.
