res37618 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2005 Hey guys and gals, I just visited highspots.com, and they've got a 2-Disc Set listed, for release on May 10th, entitled The Undertaker's Cemetery. I assume this is a WWE release, but have heard nothing, nor do any other site(s) list this set. Has anyone heard anything about it? If it's got some WCW/early WWF stuff, or some 2000/01 Attitude stuff (yes, I know it'll be blurred), then it would be a pretty good deal. Otherwise, it would probably suck the meat missile with great fervor. Any news or thoughts?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dark Age 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2005 They recently announced a From The Vault DVD for Taker, so perhaps this is it. It should be ok if they deal with 96/97. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kane from WM 20 would be on there as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scroby 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2005 You know for something thats coming out on May 10th, you'd think the WWE would have some sort of match list out on the internet or something promoting it a little while ago. I'm guessing this we'll probably be pushed back a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Prophet of Mike Zagurski 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2005 Undertaker vs. Sid @ WM 13 He won the WWF title at that match and that should included or Undertaker vs Vader @ Canadian Stampede. I heard that was a good match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IWD 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2005 Undertaker vs Vader @ Canadian Stampede. I heard that was a good match. True - that was a good match. I heard something about the match was meant to be Undertaker vs Ahmed Johnson, but was changed due to Johnson's injury. Any truth to that? Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aero 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2005 Hopefully this is a coliseum video style 'Paul Bearer's hits from the crypt' esque compilation of awful tv matches hosted by taker in bucketloads of dry ice. You mean the one where about 99% of the matches end in a DQ or Countout win for Taker? Yup, that one's a classic. Rather than predict matches on it, here's some that I'm hoping for. vs. Bret Hart (One Night Only): I've still never seen this, and it's supposedly one of Taker's last really great matches. vs. Angle (SD, 9/03): I watched this when it was on TV. I was taping it, but after the commercial break, I ended up forgetting to press the record button, again. Yeah, I was pissed. Outside of the ending, I loved this match. vs. Ultimate Warrior (any time): Sure, they were most likely really bad matches, but I was always interested in the feud between these two, especially since I used to be a fan of both of them way back. There's bound to be some classic Taker matches on the DVD anyway. vs. HBK (Ground Zero): I almost like this match more than HIAC. It's one of my favorite matches of all time, and the DQ ending actually works here to set up HIAC. It has yet to be on any DVDs, so why not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kapoutman 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2005 Well, they included the famous barbershop segment on HBK's From The Vault DVD. I'd say there's a good chance some Funeral Parlour segments will be on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest TheLastBoyscout Report post Posted April 27, 2005 I can't immediately think of any strong Undertaker matches since the end of the attitude era. Cheers. You put two on your DVD. Here's a list of great UT matches post WM X-7. Undertaker vs. Rob Van Dam - Vengeance 2001 Undertaker vs. Ric Flair - WM XVIII Undertaker vs. Rob Van Dam - RAW '02 Undertaker vs. Kurt Angle - SmackDown '02 Undertaker vs. Kurt Angle vs. The Rock - Vengeance '02 Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar - No Mercy 2002 Undertaker vs. Big Show/A-Train - WM XIX Undertaker vs. John Cena - Vengeance 2003 Undertaker vs. John Cena - SD rematch Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar vs. Big Show - SD Undertaker vs. Kurt Angle - SD '03 Undertaker vs. JBL - Either time Undertaker vs. Orlando Jordan - any time Undertaker vs. Randy Orton - WM XXI That's just off the top of my head, mind you...

Aero 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2005 Another match I just thought of... vs. John Cena (SD, before GAB): Taker and Cena always seem to good matches (except for the one in the tournament before Backlash 03). Unfortunately, I didn't tape it when it was on TV, but I think I remember it being as good as their Vengeance 03 match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Trivia247 Report post Posted April 27, 2005 You would also need the Funeral Palor segment with Hogan where he brained him, Savage and Piper came out and whacked him with chairs and he just looked at them. when your a kid you'd think that was awesome when the guy just slowly knelt down over Hogan with a look at the two of "None of you can do anything about this" and yank the cross off Hogan, and for added effect dropping it with a slight recoil.

UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2005 Were there ever any taped Warrior/UT singles matches? I thought Warrior just squashed Taker at every house show, either by pinfall or in bodybag matches. They were still pushing Taker as "unbeatable" (on TV, leading to his title win at SS 91), but as house shows he was dominated by Warrior. So I don't think there's any Warrior/Taker matches TO show.

UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2005 No wonder. I remember as a kid constantly going to Blockbuster OVER and OVER again for that particiular video, back in the three year period when I'd always call ahead to see if the new Coliseums were out. I'd go in anyway to see if some new employee was just lazy searching. For some reason that was the one video they never got. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2005 Here is what I think could go on this DVD. Assuming it's a "From the Vault" type, it'll be 9-12 matches. ** Match 1: Survivor Series 1990 Debut (This is a lock) ** Match 2: Survivor Series 1991 Win over Hogan (This is a lock) I don't think they'd gap alllll the way from '91 to '96, but besides maybe Yoko/Taker from Rumble or SurSeries 94, I'm not "feelin' it". ** Match 3: WrestleMania XII Vs. Diesel They can't put Sid/Taker on here. It's SO long and awful. They already have a big title win with Hogan. ** Match 4: Survivor Series 96 Vs. Mankind (new costume?) ** Match 5: IYH: Cold Day in Hell Vs. Austin ** Match 6: One Night Only Vs. Bret Hart ** Match 7: Hell in a Cell Vs. Shawn or Mankind (One of 'em is making it) ** Match 8: WM 14 or 20 Vs. Kane (One of 'em is making it) ** Match 9: Fully Loaded 2000 Vs. Kurt Angle ? There's no really good Taker matches after this. They're all ridiculous. Angle/Taker from July 3rd is average and Taker not tapping made it worse. They won't throw Vengeance 2002 on here and have him dropping the title. Whoever suggested Big Show/Taker come out on a "Best of Taker" DVD just made me throw up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, Ahmed f'd up his knee in a massive New Nation vs. DOA brawl on Raw a few weeks before the show. Can't remember actually them hyping Ahmed vs. Taker, but Ahmed's injury was true and they did mention on the show that Vader was Ahmed's replacement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
