20 WWE Royal Rumble Undercard Nightmares
11. The Undertaker Vs IRS (1995)
A low ebb for The Undertaker character while WWE as a whole was in deep decline, his SummerSlam 1994 return had drawn 'The Deadman' into a year-long storyline with Ted Dibaise's Million Dollar Corporation, and virtually every midcard loser associated with the group.
This time around, Undertaker would be forced into a match with Irwin R Schyster in WWE's own bleak presentation of Death and Taxes.
A routinely irritating tradition of Undertaker matches at the time, the contest was fraught with run-ins and petty frustrations briefly stopping 'The Deadman' steamrolling through his weaker opponent.
In this case, Ted Dibiase's paid-up druids were the foil, liberally interfering for some time-wasting delays of the inevitable Undertaker victory. Their identity kept a secret (save for an accidental reveal of The Heavenly Bodies' Jimmy Del Ray's boot during one of the attacks), fans were never even given a payoff to that small crumb of intrigue during or after the match.
Devoid of heat throughout, the finish came when Schyster was comfortably beaten with a Chokeslam, before fellow stooge King Kong Bundy would run in and flatten Undertaker with an avalanche to set up an identical WrestleMania match between the two and start a 'theft-of-the-Urn' angle that would amazingly last nearly a full year.
