CBright7831 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2005 I wasn't watching WWF in 1994 when this happened. I know the backstory. The Undertaker had disappeared at the Royal Rumble, promised a rebirth, flew out of his casket, and then disappeared. Over the next few months people were saying they had seen The Undertaker, so Det. Frank Drebin (POLICE SQUAD!) was brought in to find The Undertaker. What kind of skits did they run? Where they funny? Someone explain the skits to me.

However, if Leslie Nielsen was in them, they were funny. Nuff said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edotherocket 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2005 At Summerslam, he came out with Ed Hocken and waived to everyone while an outline of the Undertaker was behind them. Then after the Undertaker vs Undertaker match, he says 'the case is closed' while holding a case which is closed. That's all I remember. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest *KNK* Report post Posted May 22, 2005 They had a few skits. Nothing funny. Only one i really remember is Nielson at a diner talking to someone who claimed to seen him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Arnold_OldSchool Report post Posted May 22, 2005 Leslie is on the phone telling someone he's looking for Taker.... he spins around to dig out a file.... and then "PIZZA!" is delivered by a pair of gloves that look like Takers. Leslie spins around 2 seconds too late... "Is there a chill in here?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well at least that's better than 95's Summerslam, which had Stridex Ance Remover pads as the sponsor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DVD Spree Report post Posted May 23, 2005 However, if Leslie Nielsen was in them, they were funny. Nuff said. They were horrible. Not Katie Vick horrible, but even as a young mark I was thinking "What the hell is this crap?" Probably on par with the other pseudo-celebrity stuff they were doing with the likes of William Shatner – not hideously offensive, just really awkward, out of place, and generally a waste of good wrestling time.

How dare you sir! Any use of William Shatner, or The Shat, if you will, is never a waste of time, wrestling or otherwise! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest news_gimmick Report post Posted May 23, 2005 Looking back on Shatner, it would have been 100% worthwhile if he began to sing in one form or another. Shatner singing = gold Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shatner singing = gold I say that Bret Hart should have had a new theme made and had Shatner singing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm suprised you've never seen Summerslam 1994, where there are at least three Leslie Nielsen backstage segments. I wouldn't say it's worth seeing for the comedy skits alone, but it's also an excellent pay-per-view. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Si82 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2005 Even with the awful Undertaker-Underfaker match? Sell me on it, please. It has a classic steel cage match between Bret and Owen Hart, Alundra Blayze and Bull Nakano had a good match and Razor Ramon and Diesel had an entertaining match. The rest of the card is passible except for the Undertaker/Underfaker match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

II've seen Bret/Owen and Taker/Taker (meh) and I was thinking about buying it online one time, but I thought against it. I wish WWE would release of their older ppvs on dvd every now and then.

Hunter's Torn Quad 0 Report post Posted May 30, 2005 Undertaker wrestled during WWF's tour of Japan in May, and did a shot in HoUndertaker wrestled during WWF's tour of Japan in May, and did a couple of shots in Guam and Honolulu shortly after as well. As for why he was out, it was nothing specific as much was it was just to give his body a rest. I also think he was going through some personal issues at home as well.
