UK Kat Von D Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I know it'll be an unpopular opinion but I enjoyed the closing segment a lot while watching it. Admittedly I have a sour taste in my mouth after reading the family's response since its them dealing with the loss of a loved one. Yeah Paul Bearer might not have minded but hes dead so its not like he can be upset, to put it bluntly. WWE should really have thought more about his family.

Loki Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Did anyone ever get any comeuppance on Vince Russo during his 2000 reign of terror, now I think about it? He even gave up the World Title without losing it, and made Ric and Reid Flair look like real losers without a sniff of them getting revenge at any point. Â Wasn't that the whole problem with the nWo eventually - that they never got their comeuppance? From what I've seen of WCW post nWo over the years, it's usually the heels cooling it over the faces, who come across as dorks mainly. Goldberg was different - he just tore through the bad guys.

Ross Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Apparently Paul Bearer's sons weren't happy with the angle. They'd given their approval for some sort of angle but what actually went out was completely different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Up Chuck Posted April 3, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted April 3, 2013 This whole time, I've been assuming that it was THE urn that's been in Bearer's possession since he started managing Taker, which I assumed held the ashes of his parents (as well as a big fuckoff spotlight, obviously). It was only when I saw that thing from his son that I realised it was supposed to be Bearer's ashes. So it's, what, a different urn? Or was Undertaker in thrall to an empty urn with a spotlight in it this whole time? Shit, the most offensive thing about this is how much it fucks with the backstory.

PSF Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Quite easily the worst/best part of the angle was Punks line about Bearers streak of living ending. Its the only part the actually shocked me anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â The urn is a scientific anomaly and is massive on the inside, hence the spotlight. Every time a member of their family dies they just add the ashes to the rest that are in there. Voila.

jm29195 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I know they had that match on the first RAW after Bearer's death, but don't you think Kane would still be equally offended, if not more so, by Punk's actions regarding his Father... I know Kane is likely facing Ziggler/Langston at WM, but even so, is there a storyline reason for him not wanting to be involved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â As I recall, Kama nicked the urn back in '95 he melted it down and made a necklace out of it. When Taker got the chain back, Bearer was supposed to have reforged them into the Urn. Â Plus, didn't Kane and Bearer drag their caskets into the ring? Â So, I don't think that the ashes of Takers Parents were ever supposed to be in there in storyline terms.

WWE sends them money to shut the fuck up because they dont want any bad publicity during their biggest week of the year. Paul Bearer is dropped from storylines after Sunday and they dont need to deal with them ever again. This happens all the time in WWE. The Harts and the Guerreros and Pillmans wife had to suffer for their pay days as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 So, I don't think that the ashes of Takers Parents were ever supposed to be in there in storyline terms. Well they definitely were. When the stuff about the fire came out, the story was the parents ashes were in the urn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snitsky's back acne Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 So, I don't think that the ashes of Takers Parents were ever supposed to be in there in storyline terms. Well they definitely were. When the stuff about the fire came out, the story was the parents ashes were in the urn. Â I'm confused - I thought there was an angle on Raw all those years ago where Kane chokeslammed Undertaker into his mothers coffin. I'm sure I remember him laying there with bones and soil and maggots around him and JR going 'He's laying in his Mothers casket!'. Â I mean, admittedly, that was, like, 15 years ago so I could be remembering wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
