Match was clearly edited down because the Goon was on the way out. The ref is suddenly on the opposite side of the ring (recovering from a ref bump it would seem) after the irish whip into the corner.
I remember watching this back in the day January 5th 1997. The Goon's last WWF appearance. This was a rough time to be a fan. The summer of 1996 brought us some of the most dreadful gimmicks in history. We got such future hall of famers as The Goon, T.L. Hooper, Salvatore Sincere, The Stalker, Country singing Jesse James, Flash Funk, The Headbangers, Freddie Joe Floyd and Lief Cassidy within about three months of each other...and people wonder why I watched ECW and WCW at the time.
THE GOON IS ONE DUMMY, HE MADE THE SAME MISTAKE AS EVERYONE ELSE BY THINKIN' HE COULD CATCH THE UNDERTAKER OFF GUARD. NEVER RUSH IN ON THE UNDERTAKER THINKIN' YOU'LL CATCH HIM OFF GUARD BECAUSE YOU'LL GET CAUGHT AND YOU'LL PAY BIG!!!
I agree with Gorilla monsoon I think it's possible to put both if Jim Ross &Jim Cornet in the air position of a double Chokeslam and actually completely doing the move to both people hahahaha Lol : D
Lol @ b4 cornet can talk trash to & about the undertaker He should choice he's words wisely, b4 the lights turned off and undertaker appeared behind cornet, cornet had the face of "Oh Shit!!". Hahaha lol :D
Lol @ Jim Cornet, was asking Death wish From the undertaker hahaha lol :D
Along with Duke the Dumpster Droese, this was one of the most unfortunate gimmicks of all time. They should've just teamed up and tried their luck as a unit.
Anytime we can see that fucking annoying and color-confused jackass James E. Cornette get his ass-kicked is a good day however, watching him get Tombstoned by The Undertaker, now that's priceless!!!!!
@sublime0nightmare omg, i hate wrestling but i do remember somethings, and your 200% WRONG! It was owen heart and it was a pile driver that hurt stonecold not the tombstone! Stop watching wrestling its for kids who wants to grow up using steroids or loves menshead between their legs ^.^
@Dreth363 If the wwe release or retired Undertaker then the end will come for wwe that's for sure, he's the only reason why i still watch wwe im waiting for him to return!!
@atomicbolt This wasn't even close to the original broadcast match. At least three or four minutes were chopped out of this thing. The middle part had Goon mounting quite a bit of offense against Taker, including hitting him with the hockey stick while the ref was out of it, until Taker broke the stick in half over his back. As you can tell from the ref being on his feet at one moment then on the mat the next, the match was edited. Not sure why though...
the undertaker is the rookie killer xD
