The Undertaker Declares Historic WWE Debut As Unmatched
On the most recent episode of his “Six Feet Under” Podcast, The Undertaker shared his thoughts on the unforgettable debut of his storyline brother, Kane, in WWE. He described this moment as a pinnacle in wrestling history, emphasising its flawless execution and lasting impact.
The Undertaker recounted their intense face-off at the “In Your House: Badd Blood” event in October 1997, during his Hell in a Cell match with Shawn Michaels.
We were standing there looking eyeball to eyeball and… everything in that just worked. It was really the first time that you ever saw something different from a stone-faced killer from me.
Known for his intimidating presence, The Undertaker’s expression during this encounter was notably different, capturing the audience’s attention without the need for added analysis.
You understood what was happening—that I had just come face to face with someone that I thought was dead and gone.
The Undertaker highlighted the significance of his reaction, recalling the dramatic moment when Kane’s pyro went off for the first time.
It was a look that no one had ever seen from me and obviously it was in the expression on my face and how I reacted to him. I don’t think there’s anybody else that I would have reacted to that was going to distract me.
Kane’s debut was meticulously crafted, with every element falling into place perfectly. The moment culminated with Kane delivering a tombstone piledriver to The Undertaker, marking a pivotal point in WWE history.
Everything was just spot on for that debut. I can’t think of a better debut.
This iconic introduction not only set the stage for one of WWE’s most enduring rivalries but also showcased the storytelling prowess that has defined The Undertaker’s legendary career.
