Taker666 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2005 I often wonder how the WWE does the Lighting Bolts Speical effect during Undertaker's segment. We saw it countless times. during Taker's Judgment Day entrance, When Heyman called out Taker after the great american bash, and last week on SD!. I always thought that they do the explosion pyro live and add the thunder bolts effects digitally. But I'am not to sure. They always look pretty cool.

Who wouldn't use supernatural powers for that? That lightning bolt power also comes in handy when you have to jump start your car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MikeSC Report post Posted March 22, 2005 If he had those powers, would he settle for his horse-faced wife? I mean, really people. -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Gary Busey Report post Posted March 22, 2005 I think the lightning bolts are thin metal wires with some sort of special coating on them. They are ignited at one end by some sort of electronics, and the chemicals on them quickly burn away in a flash. Edit: They aren't digital, because he was doing it around 97/98, before they had the money for special effects. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
