_MJ_ Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 (edited) The first match Austin/Michaels had at King of Ring 97 is pretty great. It doesn't get much love, probably due to the DQ ending. It was before Austin's neck injury(and Shawn's back stuff) so the match has a different style than their Mania match. It's frantic and a bit chaotic. I think a series/feud between them at their peaks or even before their infamous injuries could have even rivaled the Austin/Bret's series.

TerjeRUN Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Didn't he have a "retirement" match against Paul Diamond at his wrestling school right after he left?It was 2000, and it was a very protective brawl. A bunkhouse brawl no less. It wasn't too bad for a garbage brawl either. Was kind of a template for the Summerslam match against HHH. Now that you reminded me of it, I have it on vhs somewhere and need to transfer it to dvd. Upload to YouTube you mean... haven't seen it in years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 The first match Austin/Michaels had at King of Ring 97 is pretty great. It doesn't get much love, probably due to the double-count ending. It was before Austin's neck injury(and Shawn's back stuff) so the match has a different style than their Mania match. It's frantic and a bit chaotic. I think a series/feud between them at their peaks or even before their infamous injuries could have even rivaled the Austin/Bret's series. Made all the more memorable due to the run-in in the middle ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cool arrow Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Nothing against Paul Diamond, but now I wish he'd wrestled Pete Gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spontaneous Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I thought he said once that he thought he had killed Foley after he threw him off. Yeah, here it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petey Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 On one of the Undertaker DVD's from like 2002-ish, he talked a bit about the match. This was the period just before WWE started doing really in-depth documentaries so there wasn't great detail. I don't know if he's ever discussed it on any other home videos.

greenbat Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I hate how he makes the match about what he went through.I think the fact that, even in the context of a worked match, the character of the Undertaker would throw Mankind off the cell to begin with should cement him as the most ruthless heel ever.

Petey Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I disagree. Them battling on the top of the cell, somebody was getting thrown off... Taker was just saving himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spontaneous Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 He did burn down the funeral home with his family inside it, come on now. It's not like anything he did after that was going to do much in the karma department Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technico Support Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 He gave Frank Mir a career. The loudmouth douche was set up as a tomato can but won on a fluke and he never shut up about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
