I'm sure it's just some cheap magic trick, but how the hell did they do it? That always impressed me when I watched it. Foley opened the casket a few minutes before and it was empty, and then a few minutes later, Taker pops out. Cool stuff.

It's always near the ring. Either a trap door with UT under the ring or it was a fake casket floor first shown.

Actually it is a cheap magic trick. You ever see those tricks where a magician disappears from a box and then it's his assitant in there. Same principal. There's a false bottom or back. Most likely 'Taker was under the ring, slid the false side back, rolled into the casket, replaced the side flap and presto. With the match acting as distraction and the ring skirt as camoflauge no one would notice.

Maybe....MAYBE he really IS dead?

If he was dead he wouldn't be able to get out of the casket at all. ;)

How about the time Kane sent lightning from his hands to try to hurt Undertaker? How did WWF get that to work?

What about, what about the time when, when Undertaker was in the casket, and, and then Paul Bearer lit it on, on fire, and then when, when they opened it up, there was, was nobody in there! That was, just wow.

When they locked the casket it was still by the ring so Taker slipped out then. If you notice Paul Bearer knocks on the casket before they roll it away to see if Taker was out yet. I guess Taker would have knocked back if he was still in it.

 

But then again you were probably being sarcastic.

Certainly weird. A question that will never be awnsered, or until NBC puts out another Secrets of Pro Wrestling Special. I always wanted to know how in the that they did the Buried Alive match. It has to be something with the grass set under it, right?

"Kane, oh my, NO, NO, Kane just set the casket on FIRE! Good God ALMIGHTY, and the Undertaker is in the casket." - paraphrase of JR

I suppose it's not fun to joke about death, but in this case I think it'd be pretty funny if UT got stuck, and when all of the guys with the fire extinguishers came in for the dramatic "OMG NO CORPSE!" moment, and they ended up finding a well-done Undertaker in there, there was a huge "oh... fuck" moment.

 

...What? I'd laugh.

Honestly now...how DID they do the buried alive match, and the hand coming up at the end?

 

I'm assuming that there was a trap door in the side of the grave, so that 'Taker just crawled through there...But the hand?

 

Does anyone know?

 

Dammit, now someone's gonna give me some answer and I'm gonna go "fuck, I'm a dummy for not realizing that..."

I've also wondered that myself a lot of times, not with the hand, as it was obvious a "puppet", but how they did the burial itself...
