The Undertaker Describes “Miserable” Working Conditions When Filming WWE Segments

WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker reflected on the harsh conditions he endured while filming vignettes for his 1992 feud with wrestling legend Kamala.

Speaking on his Six Feet Under podcast, the Deadman recounted the gruelling environment he faced while shooting scenes of himself constructing a custom casket for his rival.

We shot five, six weeks of vignettes for The Undertaker building Kamala’s casket, and it’s 28 degrees outside. Now, I’m in the blacksmith shop, and as I’m talking, you can see our breath—that’s how cold it was. It was absolutely miserable.

The vignettes, filmed in the frigid northeastern United States, required Undertaker to stay in full character and costume—a challenge in the bitter cold. He revealed how he coped with the freezing temperatures between takes, emphasising the discomfort of being in his iconic wrestling gear during the harsh winter conditions.

I had to go sit in Bruce Prichard’s car, crank up the heat, and just wait. Those conditions in the early years—and you’re always in character, you’re always in gimmick. And believe me, spandex is not the material to be walking around a cemetery in January in the northeast.

Despite the physical toll, the vignettes became iconic moments in The Undertaker’s career, highlighting his commitment to maintaining the eerie persona that captivated fans for decades.

Which Match Did The Undertaker Say Was The Greatest He Ever Had?

The Undertaker spoke about which of his matches he thinks was the best he ever had and singled out his WrestleMania 25 bout against Shawn Michaels. The match is widely considered by fans and industry insiders as one of The Undertaker’s greatest matches and garnered four and three-quarter stars from Dave Meltzer. Undertaker said that performing the match was so easy due to the chemistry he had with Michaels.
