As a kid I thought this was awesome! People seem to forget who watches wrestling, especially in the mid 90’s.

I loved it.

No matter what anyone every says about this match it will always have a special place in my heart for me. This was the match I became a fan again after being a kid in the 80's. I watched SummerSlam '94 live because of of a "black box" and the parents were on a date night. The rest of the matches were cool and I enjoyed it. But when Undertaker vs. Undertaker happened I watched the entrances and went "Okay...that was COOL.." and started following again.

@HereIsWisdom1318 5 лет назад

Kalentros I watched this with a black box too; some months (maybe years) later, my black box didn’t work anymore.

@26.2MilesOutsidePartsUnknown 11 месяцев назад

Well said 👏

@kwrbt2979 3 года назад

I loved this as a kid. Judging the angle now, it helped build up the Undertaker and bring him back with some compelling drama, and it was perfectly done as a one-and-done blowoff where the Faker is put in his place and "destroyed" by the real Undertaker. There was no need to keep this going beyond one match in the first place.

@robbgraves1586 3 года назад

@tombergen8337 4 года назад

a lot of people forget that Brian Lee did come back to WWF after this match a couple of years later as Chainz in the DOA "motorcycle club" angle with Crush, and the Harris Twins as Skull and 8-Ball

I remember this being the talk of the playground back then. "Did you see his face?I don't think it's him." "Nuh-uh...it's totally him!" "No it's NOT!!!"

@mattm7798 4 года назад

As a kid, the UT vs UT was awesome. i remember watcing it at the neighbor's house and we were yelling for the Hart vs Hart match to hurry up so we could get to UT vs UT. Looking back, obviously the Hart match was superior but for a kid, UT was the man period.

@jamesmabrie8410 4 года назад

I knew that the Underfaker was Prime Time Bryan Lee

@djcol7742 4 года назад

Bret and Owen in the cage kinda scooped the heat from this match. The hart boys had such a brilliant spectacle, Everyone was knackered after it and couldn’t get behind the taker vs taker match. Bit like how hogan/rock did to hhh/Jericho at wm18.

I was only 2 during 94. Started following wrestling in 97. When I got to the 5th grade my teacher told me that there were two Undertakers & they had a match I lost my mind & thought it was awesome. Yeah maybe to adults it sucked & k can see why but finding the tape as a kid was treasure.

I don't recall this incident when both Undertakers went face to face following a match with Lex Luger on August 2nd superstars?? I can't find it on youtube either? did this actually happen? I am certain Undertaker returned for the first time at summerslam 1994?

@unclelloyd 6 лет назад

Yea, the whole recount of that King's Court segment as well as the real Undertaker squashing Bigelow and the two Undertaker's having a staredown is all botched up. None of that ever happened, at least not on TV. Paul Bearer gets choked by the fake Undertaker and the lights flicker. When they come back on Paul is outside the ring, but the real Undertaker is NOT standing in the ring (unless he was for the in-house crowd and it was edited out for television). The TV audience never saw the real Undertaker until his entrance at Summerslam.

@pikkon899 5 лет назад

I liked it as well. During this time, I never watched the Undertaker for spectacular Japanese 7 million star matches. No one did back then so I don't know why people are crapping on it today. I watched the Undertaker because I enjoyed the gimmick, the entrances and the presentation. The matches were the last thing on my mind. Did he have great matches? Sure but he wasn't known for that yet. Not until Bret Hart came into the picture in 1996 and we saw that he could actually go.

@tomtalker2000 3 года назад

I thought Brian Lee did a respectable job portraying Mark's character. The match was less to be desired and i feel bad for Mark in that regard. But as Bruce stated and i knew this myself at the time. This was basically to bring back the "real Taker" with a refreshed look.

@johneaston918 6 лет назад

Why not just use real Taker leading up to the match? Why even use fake Taker before SummerSlam so all the fans can see it is a joke. At least if fake Taker not brought in till SummerSlam the angle and build up for the match would have been better.

never even saw the Kings Court where an Undertaker chokes out Bearer. had to go and look it up. Never saw Lex have the Taker in the rack either. Glad that they scrapped all of that. Because the Taker officially returning at SS was perfect. Had this all been shown, the match and the spectacle that was SS 94 would have lost total steam.

@nickcastrellon909 10 месяцев назад

My biggest critique about Briam Lee's Undertaler was his height. They could have at least altered his boots to try to raise him up to the real Undertaker. Aside from that, Taker's return with the black lights and updated music worked. After getting used to the false Undertaker for months, the real Taker looked freaky as hell when he came back.

@fabianmarshall4120 Год назад

Crazy that Lee eventually does a biker gimmick that Undertaker steals from lol Chainz and DOA had a nice gimmick coming out with the bikes

@neilboucher 3 года назад

They should have had a whole different undertaker looks and all because this was stupid shit. His move could have been called the embalmer. Some weird suplex or some shit. Say he's the Undertakers apprentice. Call him grim keeper, anything but a " fake undertaker".

Prichard comes off like an insecure baby. Criticism comes with the territory. If Meltzer is to be criticized for being wrong he should be respected when he’s right. BTW the last thing Taker vs Taker needed was more time.

@CamberRockerCamber Год назад

Loved it as a kid. Yeah it was pretty apparent who the fake Undertaker was but so thought it was pretty cool. Honestly don't know where Meltzer got the idea that this would be more than a one off. Even as a kid I knew this was meant to just be one match. Once the real Undertaker beats (kills) the fake one, then this would be the end of the fake Undertaker and we wouldn't see him again.

@thedude4672 6 лет назад

Bruce, Saying that someone can't critique something just because they have not done or experienced it is weak bullshit. By that way of thinking, nobody can have a legit opinion anything that they haven't done. So you can't bash movies, music, TV shows, sports entertainment, or anything that you are not experienced in doing.

@pikkon899 6 лет назад

His argument is very valid because Meltzer also dictates on how it should be done in the same context as if he himself has been a promoter. That's why Prichard and certain other bookers constantly bury him. To critique is one thing, but to flat out dictate that this guy or this angle should be here because it will draw money etc.. is a little weak on Meltzer's part. He's never promoted. What is he basing that on? There was an interview where Dusty Rhodes said the same thing about Meltzer.

@E.K.izzlemynizzle 6 лет назад

Yea you can critique, and give your opinion but like Al snow says, a opinion is the lowest form of human knowledge. I agree with Bruce, don't act like your know what's best, and tell people how this and that should be done if you've NEVER done it.
