View Full Version : Cameraman at Wrestlemania 25

Who was the cameraman that The Undertaker dove onto during his match versus Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania. WWE did a good job at covering him up and you could only see his face for a few seconds on TV. He was a rather large man which leads me to believe it may be Brian Lee (one of Taker's closest friends). But does anyone know for sure?

The should have shown the dive from the view of the cameraman.
I've heard rumors it was Sim Snuka.
Where is the camerman's footage?
The tape was destroyed when they landed on it.
:shifty:
Aren't We in the Digital World?
Aren't there any TV Monitors backstage that could rewind that shit ?

Undertaker's life force zapped any all footage made from that camera that match. :shifty:

If they played the tape back, they'd only have 7 days to live.

When I saw him, I thought it was Sim Snuka. Then I saw rumours saying that it was him. And given that a lot of independent workers aren't doing little spots for the WWE because they don't pay well enough anymore, and it makes sense that it would have been Snuka.

It was a worker and Im sure the camera was a fake. SO whatever that does for ya.
Notice we don't get many camera head shots anymore, and when we do we never get the footage? They don't want to damage those new HD cameras. Just yet, anyway.

I was hoping they would but they didn't.
Usually when stuff like this happens they show it from the cameramans angle... make it's look really brutal and crazy when it spirals down.

Lol. He threw the camera aside, and tried to catch 'Taker when he realized the big guy had shorted his dive.
And wound up landing on the camera, making an audible cracking noise (which JR referenced, which was awesome). That must have hurt like hell.

I'm surprized The Undertaker was not seriously hurt after landing that high on his back/neck considering his size and how high he dove from.

There's a little snippet at the end that I haven't seen on TV, where Ozzy says "What's YOUR !@#$ing game?!" with a black censor bar over his mouth when he says "The 'F' Word"... Hilarious...

Didn't see who it was, but I did see that Takers ass landed dead on his face. I actually thought the man was legit knocked out
Here's a pretty clear picture of his face, from the Mania captions:

Looks sort of like Snuka, though stockier...

Do u dream this stuff up urself, or do u have a source for this randomness.

Just reading this and remembering Taker and HBK's HIAC, the camera man didn't do to well in that either.
Maybe its a jynx...
Wasn't that a real camera man who sued WWE?
Or was that a storyline?

Judging from that picture, it's obviously "Hurricane" Helms...

I don't remember any story coming off it. But Shawn beat the guy up after he landed on him, and the EMTs coing to help him was Taker and Shawns way out of the cell.
So I'd imagine he was a worker just like this guy.
Might be thinking of something else. You're right, I forgot that spot lead to them getting out of the cage.

People say Sim but look at his nose, the hook it makes it similar to Manu... Don't they usualy bring guys from FCW or OVW and not people from the Main Roster(I guess Sim isn't being used)

I'm telling you it's Helms...

Looks like Manu?
It would be really funny if it was Manu, seeing as he can't seem to do anything right. That'd be a good gimmick for him actually, especially with the lisp:
*Manu runs to the ring to interrupt a match to save Legacy, but is too late*
Manu: "Aw, dammit! I wasth sthupposthed to sthave them!"
*Manu is leaving the arena with his friends, but they left without him"
Manu: "Aw, dammit! I wasth sthupposthed to go home!"
