Good. Dude should honestly be in jail, if what Undertaker is relaying is correct. ‘Oh it’s just a draft’. Then is told to knock it off and fix it, and possibly moves them even closer. As bad as this was for Undertaker, he literally could have spent the rest of his life a horrific burn victim, or had his career ended right there. There’s a very close possible reality where we talk about this in the same way as wrestling’s biggest tragedies.

The chest chops probably stung like hell. But he's also used to those hurting so it probably never registered that it was because of the burns. Being on your chest for the walls isn't usually where the pain is there, so it was more obvious.

I remember reading that when he talked to Vince he said something like he just wants to know the pyro guy was fired lmao

Went on with the match bad ass

Wow.

The Walls of Jericho with burns on your chest. Good Lord

I remembered seeing him walking down slowly then they showed one of the wrestlers in the pods. Then the camera went back to him and he was walking down to the chamber quickly. I thought he was just eager to get his hands on one of his rivals. But discovering long years later one of those fireball pyro became malfunction and he got seriously hurt by it so they added that out.

I remember watching the Raw after. Didn't see the ppv so I didn't know but I distinctily remember Taker having all of this yellow stuff on his face that the HD Camerasj picked up easily, not knowing it was the ointment for the burns

That happened and my husband and boys were there. Crowd didn't realize the whole situation until the next morning. His face and hands

I was there that night. Was definitely crazy!

Usually Jericho calls someone a jackass. It's funny hearing Taker say it lol.

Mortifying story. It really pisses me off when someone puts someone else in harm's way, especially by being obstinate.

If wasnt for the heavy jacket to withstand the fire that night would have an absolute disaster

Pyro guy: " okay. I'll move them up." Taker: "Rest in Peace"

That Pyro guy got fired on the spot no doubt. Probably saved his life and Taker’s career Bc Taker would a faced manslaughter charges for sure.
