just something I was thinking about.
Undertaker debuts in fall of 1990 as a heel. Savage is also a heel at this time,so no interactions then.
Savage "retires" and turns face in spring 1991. Taker is still a heel, but like I said,Savage is "retired".
of course,we get the infamous Savage-Elizabeth wedding at SummerSlam 1991, crashed even more infamously by Jake Roberts and Undertaker. however,after this was over Savage trained all efforts and attention on Roberts,ignoring the Undertaker.
Savage gets reinstated in December 1991,but seems to feud exclusively with Jake Roberts.
in February 1992, Undertaker turns on his "partner" Jake Roberts,ironically saving Elizabeth and Savage from him. right after this Undertaker turns face. and of course Savage is also a face.
so,it seems there was a VERY brief time when Savage and The Undertaker could have done battle, from Dec. 1991 - Feb. 1992. however I can's remember any matches taking place between them! so I was wondering if anyone knows if they ever DID face off in the ring?
EDIT: should be noted,they were against each other in a few Tag Team matches during that time period. I was just wondering about any 1-on-1 encounters.

I don't remember Undertaker facing Savage, but I do remember Taker saving Savage from a backstage assault by Jake the Snake. I'm pretty sure that was when Undertaker turned face for the first time.

It looks like they two had at least one, 1 on 1 match on a house show in the summer of 91, but doesn't look like they have faced off on TV.
*edit*
Ok, best I can find, they faced off 3 times at house shows from July 30 to August 2. Savage was filling in for the Ultimate Warrior, who was originally Undertaker's opponent. Taker only won the second of the three matches.

I'm surprised they didn't have a throw away match during the Macho Man vs. Jake Roberts feud since Undertaker was involved also.
EDIT: Here we go. It's a tag match but happened because of the feud as stated above.

Not a match but a good promo style interview between both
Here's a gem I found recently that I always wondered I it ever happen [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qY23VcMfZ28&sns=em [/youtube]
Undertaker vs Savage, Eddie Guerrero and Mr Perfect were huge missed opportunities by wwe. Also would have love to see a real Benoit vs Taker match (they had one but it ended as a DQ

I know he faced Bigelow/Hall on Home Video but not on a PPV/TV show
