Taker/Mccool vs The Fiend/Bliss at Mania I’d say 

I believe I went to his retirement tour in Germany 10 years ago.

God fucking forbid. As Supremo said, his Mania match was the perfect finish to an already tainted career. Having another match would just be the worst.

@Keith Houchen i bumped into you the day after Takers debut in HMV, they had 2 shops in town then, it was the one near the bird cage. Do you remember? You asked me who he was and i told you it was Mean Mark from WCW.....

It was a Saturday, i think SS 90’was shown on a friday night on Sky Movies back then. 

I think you had just turned 27 ?

I worked in one of those HMVs in town for a couple of years but it’s wasn’t near the birdcage, that was Our Price. 27? You cheeky fucker!

Yeh i know you worked in the other one, you were there just browsing. You worked in the one where Piper came to sign autographs in 92/3 sure you were working that day? You remember? I got my Piper spotlight Magazine signed by him. He was trying to flog his dodgy single.

 

sorry, 26

Remember for years people theorising how Undertaker's retirement was going to be handle, this great protector of kayfabe and the biggest and most beloved 'character' they've had, maybe he'll quietly go off into the night like the big deadman biker silently forever, so it feels odd to now be getting a vibe of when lads film their own holidays abroad instead.

Fuck, I just about remember that. I know we kept the signed picture up "out the way" because my parents thought it'd end up being worth something.

Ha! Yeah it was his video that he was promoting. Think it was some awful exercise one that involved him and inflatables. He did sign the I’m Your Man single for me, still got it. Far and away the nicest wrestler I’ve met. A total gent all day.

He signed my mates Summerslam 92 ticket and spelt his name wrong. I still have my Spotlight mag he signed. He seemed a nice chap, i remember going straight to HMV after school and we still had to queue for ages.

I bought that video for 50p at a car boot sale a few years after it was released, when I was about 10. It was called Fighting Fit, and it encouraged kids to stay fit by hitting an inflatable Undertaker that was referred to as "The Gravedigger". It was shite. 

EDIT: Here's some of the footage, which now looks like it's amazing for all the wrong reasons. 

"YOU'RE NOT MY DAD!!!!!"

If the WWE Get Stuffed PPV pitched on page one has a gimmick based on the 90s late night ITV cooking programme I shall start watching WWE again.
