The Complete A-Z Of The Undertaker

10. Q - Quarter Final

The Undertaker
WWE Network

It remains one of the most flabbergasting moments on what many consider the worst WWE pay-per-view of all time.

For the first time in 4 years, The Undertaker was pinned on television, suffering the indignity of a Quarter Final King of the Ring defeat at the June 1995 event to eventual winner Mabel after a single boot to the head from an interfering Kama and a leg-drop from the hefty 'Men on a Mission' member.

After so long protecting the integrity and aura of the persona, it was a truly bewildering decision to have him suffer such a pedestrian loss, on a night where much of Vince McMahon's decision-making would be called into question.

Mabel earned a bye to the final against Savio Vega with the jaw-dropping result, whilst Undertaker's conflict with Kama concluded in a Summerslam Casket Match the following August.
