That Time The Undertaker Brought A WWE Superstar BACK FROM THE DEAD In Japan
Or how a 'Deadman' brought a 'White Angel' back to life...
October 1997 was a different time.
21 years and one day on from the first time they shared a screen together, The Undertaker, Kane, Shawn Michaels and Triple H will do so again at WWE's bizarre Australian banter card Super Show-down. A go-home Raw main event segment was dedicated not to babyface and heel also-rans The Shield and The Dogs Of War but to the four men that first came together at the climax of the legendary Badd Blood: In Your House main event.
Not that Shawn knew much about it back then. He was lying bloodied on the mat as Kane - we were allowed to presume it was Kane thanks to confirmatory screams from Vince McMahon and some exceptional storytelling that got us there in the first place - came back from the presumed dead to cost his brother ultimate vindication against a sh*thouse D-Generation-X and kickstart a character's career that somehow persists to present day.
Maybe October 1997 wasn't a different time after all. 'The Big Red Machine' wasn't even the only corpse exhumed that month...
CONT'D...
