6 Worst Fashion Mistakes By The Undertaker
6. The Phantom Of The Deadman
This entry seems to divide opinion but, after swaying back and forth on the subject, it has to be included.
Im not one to speak ill of the dead, but let's be honest, Mabel was a pretty awful wrestler. He was huge and intimidating but almost crushed Diesels back in their SummerSlam main event in 1995 and, several months later, he clumsily dropped hig huge leg right onto Undertakers eye, injuring it.
The Dead Mans eye socket was fragile but rather than taking time off to heal, he took a page right of Brutus Beefcakes book and decided that donning a mask would be the way to go. The problem being that the mask made him look like a deformed beast and made too many fans compare him to The Phantom of The Opera.
The Phenom has been great at telling stories through his facial expressions, since he didnt cut long promos and within the framework of his character could only really use his eyes to tell the story. Sadly, with half of his face buried behind his Beauty and The Beast-esque mask, we couldnt see any of that emotion and his matches suffered because of it.
Next time a wrestler has an eye injury, just give them a month off to go and relax on a beach on Hawaii, not turn their act into a poor man's Broadway show.
