King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2004 Ok, I read somewhere that the original ending to the Taker vs Taker match was different from the actual one. This...has to be wrong, right? "Thank goodness the Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart Cage Match had run long: the original plan for the finish (which had to be scrapped due to time constraints) called for the two 'Takers to lock up in a test of strength. Then the lights were scheduled to go out, and lightning would strike the ring, causing the two 'Phenoms' to become one." Now, usually I wouldn't believe it...but it's from a reliable magazine, and it's not out of the realms of Taker gimmick possibility. But still...could you imagine if this was true and this happened. Good god... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good god... I can safely say thats false. The real plan was for an EXTENDED FEUD, but Underfaker was so bad in the match, Vince just had him thrown in a casket and never seen again.

Guest Dynamite Kido Report post Posted February 12, 2004 What magazine??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Si82 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2004 What magazine??? Power Slam. It was in an article about wrestlings biggestest mistakes (aprt two actually). A smart wrestling magazine over here in the UK. I don't really have any great reason to doubt it either. Power Slam is a reliable magazine and considering the whole Undertaker death angle that happend at the Royal Rumble that year then it doesn't seem to be to out there.

Guest Stunt Granny Report post Posted February 12, 2004 That would make no sense!!! For that to happen you'd have to assume that both guys were really The Undertaker, and further you'd have to explain how they became divided in two. I always assumed that Paul Bearer's Undertaker was the real one while everyone and their dog knew DiBiase's was fake and Bearer was to convince The REAL Undertaker to come out of purrgatory and reclaim his identity.

Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted February 12, 2004 Brian Lee was fake Taker correct? If so what did he do directly after that match, because he was always a good big man as far as his stuff in AWA and SMW goes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did you not watch the fued? The whole THING made no sense. And yeah, the mag is reliable which is why I assumed it was true. Thinking about it more I realised I wouldn't put it past Vince, so I see nor eason why that wasn't the planned finish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If so what did he do directly after that match, because he was always a good big man as far as his stuff in AWA and SMW goes. Well, I do know that a few years later he donned the leather vest, stepped on his motorcycle and became that hog-ridin' Chainz, DOA member. So, THAT's where it's from...

Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted February 13, 2004 Brian Lee came in shortly before AWA died and when it did he was picked up by SMW where he became PrimeTime Brian Lee before going over to the WWF. I know him, Candido, Sytch, and Jim Ross all went from SMW over to the WWF together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
