I've always wondered this and saw a pic of this on twitter a few days ago and it reminded me that I never knew how they actually did that  Always wondered how he didn't die because it looks pretty difficult to fake and how they got him down |

True but it all depends of if that catfight from wrestlemania 18/19 (cant remember) counts as a match because that was one of the worst things in wrestlemania history |

Yeah he had a harness on his back, the back of the knot clipped to a hook on the back of the harness at his neck and so he wasn't hung, just suspended. As for getting him down, I've always just heard that they lowered the Cell during the Rage Party advert before the Austin/Rock match. As for the match itself,  you guys, its not bad, maybe by standards for then, but in the grand scheme of things, compared to Cell matches we've seen in the last 5/6 years, yeah this one is atleast on par with any of those. It was the first, and really only time that having a Cell kinda made gimmick sense; it was a Cell match so it benefited Boss Man, and frankly up until that point it was one of the worst/most violent beatings Taker had received from someone. Sure, I sometimes wish it was just a straight one on one match but honestly I can watch this match any time and love it, it entertains me to no end, as a Boss Man mark, yeah this is one of my favourite matches ever. |

They should have switched opponents with Undertaker facing Mankind and Bossman facing the recently debut Big Show. That would added some much more to theta shiity card with Undertaker as a heel facing a hugely over Mankind in a rematch of their infamous match for KOTR 98 at WM 15 in hell in a cell. Big show would squash bossman in less 5 minutes in a filler match to showcase him to the wee crowd.

The hell with this match. Let's talk about how Michael Cole gave away the main event just prior to Undertaker/Big Boss Man.

Probably because of the Boss Man being hung up but still, they could have edited that out and just showed the match. They didn't show anything regarding it. |

With the exception of Michael Cole vs. Jerry Lawler, it might be the worst match in Wrestlemania history. True but it all depends of if that catfight from wrestlemania 18/19 (cant remember) counts as a match because that was one of the worst things in wrestlemania history my top 10 worst matches in WrestleMania history ( in no particular order of preference): 1) George Wells vs Jake "The Snake" Roberts - WrestleMania 2 : seriously, this was some Prime time Wrestling s#$t at the biggest PPV of the year??!! 2) Undertaker vs Giant Gonzalez - WrestleMania IX : really bad. only good part was Taker overcoming unconsciousness due to chloroform 3) Undertaker vs Big Boss Man - WrestleMania XV : it did suck balls. didn't help that The Brood kept getting stuck on their wires 4) The Cat vs Terri - WrestleMania 2000 : even for a T & A match, this was garbage 5) Stacey Keibler vs Torrie Wilson vs Tanya Ballinger vs Kitana Baker - WrestleMania XIX : a "Fatal Four Way Pillow Fight" that ended when Coach got de-pantsed and somehow lost by pinfall. just think about that a minute. 6) Fabulous Moolah vs Velvet McIntyre - WrestleMania 2 : watch this. no, seriously, I dare you to. and try to explain it NOT being one of the worst! made all the more horrible by Cathy Lee Crosby proclaiming how great it was. 7) Undertaker vs King Kong Bundy - WrestleMania XI : a snoozer of a match no one cared about. 8) Bret Hart vs Vince McMahon - WrestleMania XXVI - hard to watch,boring... the proverbial car wreck you pass by. 9) The Miz vs John Cena - WrestleMania XXVII - seriously, THE worst main event in Mania history. a terrible match, these guys had NO chemistry, and the timing was WAY off. a stinker, plain and simple. 10) Michael Cole vs Jerry Lawler - WrestleMania XXVII - this is why 27 is a contender for worst Mania ever. a lot of suck on this card, and this match was one of the worst offenders. |
