What was the story behind the Undertaker “dying” in 1994?
At the end of 1993 The Undertaker began to feud with Yokozuna. At Royal Rumble 1994 they fought in a casket match for the world title. The Undertaker was about to win the match when 10 heel wrestlers interfered and helped Yokozuna put Undertaker in the casket to win. After the match Undertaker appeared on the big video screen and gave a short speech on how he would not rest in peace and would return for revenge. After the speech the lights went out and Marty Jannetty dressed as The Undertaker was raised up to the roof of the arena in the crucifix position giving the angle that Undertaker ascended to heaven. In real life Mark Calloway just needed time off to handle some family matters. He didn’t actually die!
