Every Wrestling DEATH Ranked By Stupidity

Pictured above is the only singles 'Buried Alive' match that The Undertaker actually won. He defeated Mankind in October 1996 at the In Your House 11 pay-per-view, but 'The Deadman' would end the night pushing up dirt himself when a string of heels helped Mick Foley bury him in a shallow grave. To close out the show, 'Taker's hand shot out of the dirt to signify that he wasn't quite finished after all.

This fate would smack Undertaker hard (like the shovel used during the abandoned match type) several times over coming years. He lost follow up 'Buried Alive' bouts to Steve Austin in 1998, Vince McMahon in 2003 and Kane in 2010. On all 4 occasions, he ultimately cheated kayfabe death. Then, there was the 1994 Royal Rumble. That showed 'Taker "dying" after he was soundly beaten by every heel going (spotting a pattern?) and then shoved into a casket during his bout vs. Yokozuna.

The then-WWF shot footage of Undertaker cutting a promo inside the coffin, and an extra (believed to be Marty Jannetty) was hoisted up towards the heavens live inside the arena as the fed kept in-house lighting low so nobody would suspect a thing. This was the truth "death of The Undertaker", but he was back in time for a clanger of a doppelgänger clash at SummerSlam vs...himself.

Well, sort of. Undertaker collided with 'Underfaker' in a headliner no-one called for or wanted after Bret vs. Owen Hart ruled inside a steel cage. In short, 'Taker has been snuffed out countless times only to reappear like some unstoppable supernatural force. Fair play. They did say he was undead from the off.
