8 Disturbing WWE Raw Moments You Totally Don't Remember

2. The Undertaker Wants His Mummy (23 November 1998)

Yet more Undertaker weirdness - this time from the very beginning of his Lord Of Unspeakable Evil And Darkness phase - this moment has been virtually lost in the mists of time, despite the bugf*ck craziness involved.

Having knocked 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin out cold the previous week with a shovel, the Undertaker kidnapped the concussed Rattlesnake from his hospital bed, sedated and completely unconscious, and together with Paul Bearer, took him to a funeral home to embalm him alive. Yes, you read that correctly. Now, while I accept that both Paul Bearer and the man who played him are licensed and experienced morticians, The Undertaker - ironically - is obviously not. He clearly intended to begin the process by removing Austin's brain with a long, straight spike shoved up his nostril.

Of course, modern embalming isn't the same as Egyptian mummification, and involves treating the corpse with various chemicals, not rooting around up the dearly departed's nose with a giant marlinspike. Even if it did, or if The Undertaker's process was based on ancient Egyptian methodologies (I knew he was old school, but that's ridiculous), a straight spike isn't going to hook anything out. By definition, he would need something with a hook on the end, or he'd just be poking his brains.

Forget the symbolic ritual being undertaken: essentially, the soon-to-be leader of the Ministry Of Darkness was just going to stab 'Stone Cold' in the face with a big pointy stick. Somewhat surprisingly, it turned out that The Undertaker had been a sh*tbox undertaker all this time.

At the last minute, Kane came charging in to cuff his older brother lightly about the chin with a gloved hand (still the lamest striking move ever delivered by a giant pyromaniac serial killer). Bearer attempted to stab Austin in the chest with a pair of scissors, this whole embalming effort having clearly been given up as a lost cause - but 'Stone Cold' woke up in the nick of time and staggered off, presumably to find a bar that sold beer by the Texanload.

This being the Attitude Era, a greater suspension of disbelief was required. Still, you do wonder how The Undertaker and Bearer stayed out of prison after being shown on national television about to straight up murder a dude with a giant knitting needle - and why the cameraman doesn't do something to help. Hey, hang on - maybe that's who called Kane. The cameraman's a babyface! Well, that's alright then.
