Taker's Mania streak isn't the only thing on fire...
 
From PWInsider:

The Undertaker suffered burns to his chest during a pyrotechnic malfunction during his entrance when flames reached and burned his jacket as he came out for the Elimination Chamber main event. Taker immediately ripped off his jacket and quickly moved away from the pyro. When he got to the ring, he doused himself with water before working as scheduled.

WWE sources indicated that when Taker returned to the locker room, he was extremely upset and yelling about the situation while management tried hard to calm the matter, which was an obvious accident.

Also from PWInsider:

I am just returning from the PPV tonight. I wanted to send word along. During Taker's entrance, he stopped on the the ramp and his fire shot up. He caught on fire, completely from head to toe. He threw his coat and hat off and ran to the ring. Luckily, the fire extinguished itself. Once he went into his pod, Referee Jack Doan handed Taker several bottles of water to cool himself. I can't believe he competed in the match. It was one of the scariest things I have ever seen. He was completely engulfed for one to two seconds. It was unbelievable.

Gotta see video of this though. That is so awesome.

Xero 02-22-2010 01:31 AM

Yeah, gonna be up on YouTube by tomorrow I'm sure. Hope someone on the aisle got it.

Executioner 02-22-2010 01:33 AM

Damn it, I missed it. I was refreshing my stream when Taker was making his entrance and all I remember is the stream popping back up after like 15 seconds and Taker was already in the chamber pod. I was like "WTF!?! His entrance is always 3 minutes minimum!!!!"

James Steele 02-22-2010 01:34 AM

I was wondering what the hell happened, because it looked like he just got randomly pissed off and ran to the ring and stuff. Is his hat ok? I heard it holds all his powers now...like the urn used to.

Nark Order 02-22-2010 01:34 AM

They should play it off like HBK is secretly an engineer on his spare time and rigged Taker's pyro to blow him up.

Killing him would be a great way to face him at WM.

WYLE E. COYOTE STYLE!

Xero 02-22-2010 01:37 AM

Imagine the Mania promo package of this if they got a closeup.

*Show Michaels from last year*

Voice Over: A man, descended from the heavens...

*Cue Taker being set on fire in slow motion*

Voice over: A man, bathed in flames.

Fignuts 02-22-2010 01:37 AM

I'd bet Taker would give out some pretty STIFF offense then.

ROFL

The Franchise 02-22-2010 01:38 AM

Hey saw you were on fire so here's a couple Dasanis

The Franchise 02-22-2010 01:40 AM

I wonder if this will change their plans for the WM 26 set, which is supposed to have ridiculous amounts of pyro and fire

Nark Order 02-22-2010 01:40 AM

Taker should've known something was up when saw that the pyrotechnics were made and manufactured by ACME.

Xero 02-22-2010 01:41 AM

Random Management: Now Taker, we're sorry and everything, but..... You owe us $3 for the water...

Jeritron 02-22-2010 01:41 AM

They should run with it and show the footage, having Shawn take responsibility. Sabotage didn't get the job done so he did a run in

Xero 02-22-2010 01:42 AM

Maybe Matt did it.

The Franchise 02-22-2010 01:42 AM

Now that would get Shawn some crazy heel heat

:shifty:

Skippord 02-22-2010 01:42 AM

whoa, awesome

Nark Order 02-22-2010 01:43 AM

I hear Matt Hardy and HBK got their engineering degrees from the same school.

Fignuts 02-22-2010 01:43 AM

lol again, that would be pretty dumb, as he can't face taker if he's DEAD.

Fignuts 02-22-2010 01:44 AM

Stop posting so fast, you shitdicks.

Nark Order 02-22-2010 01:45 AM

Taker was dead last year and they faced off at Wrestlemania. Your theory is debunked!

I was DEAD serious too

Xero 02-22-2010 01:47 AM

This WOULD set up a Taker vs Michaels Inferno Match.

Nark Order 02-22-2010 01:48 AM

Or a Soaked Alive with Bottled Water Match at least.

Jeritron 02-22-2010 01:48 AM

I'd love to see Taker get his mask back, instead of Kane, just to light a fire under the ass of the IWC (no pun intended)

lol was thinking about that.

I know it wouldn't fit the character, but imagine the hilarious promos where Kane tries to help Taker live a normal life despite being burned. He could give him advice like going to the ice cream shop and smearing ice cream on his face for relief.

DAMN iNATOR 02-22-2010 01:57 AM

Hmm, now I know why I was noticing those two pink spots on his chest. I'd be fucking pissed too if I was him. Entire group I was with at the bar tonight were like "WTF? 'Taker never runs down to the ring..."

Just glad for his sake that it wasn't more serious.

Fignuts 02-22-2010 01:59 AM

Yeah, someone is fired.

Holy shit.

Mr. Pierre 02-22-2010 02:52 AM

I just watched the PPV back..you can see which flame hit him, but you never saw him on fire..he played it off the best he could have, as he just quickly moved outta the spot, threw his jacket off and stormed to the ring.

During the match I thought Taker was sick or something, because he was constantly pouring water on himself, and during Punk's promo and his entire time in the pod, it looked like he was gonna hurl or something. You can see a burn on his chest too at the end of the match. Damn, those knife-edged chops from HBK are gonna hurt like a bitch at Mania now.

Glad to hear he's ok. What a fuckin beast!!

Xero 02-22-2010 02:53 AM

From that video you can see that specific flame never comes up until Taker's there.

Mr. Pierre 02-22-2010 02:54 AM

Wow! Holy shit, he's lucky..

God damn.

Supreme Olajuwon 02-22-2010 03:09 AM

What's even worse is this isn't the first time Taker's almost been seriously burned by a pyro accident.

Fignuts 02-22-2010 03:11 AM

holy shit.

Xero 02-22-2010 03:12 AM

Who else has been victim of botched promo?

The Mania 24 incident, this and the other Taker incident are all I can remember.

Supreme Olajuwon 02-22-2010 03:17 AM

I'm sure there had to be at least one back when they did in ring pyro. HBK, Razor Ramon, Sid, and fuck even Aldo Montoya had that shit. Had to happen once you'd think

CWK 02-22-2010 03:24 AM

He is extremely lucky, all I keep thinking of is James Hetfield from Metallica who went through the exact same thing and he was burned down to the bone on his arms and hands, Undertaker's long trench coat saved his ass, big time. Damn, there is nothing like the pain of a burn.

CWK 02-22-2010 03:27 AM

Now if WWE is smart, they will work this into the HBK storyline. HBK has been acting really weird lately so maybe they could write in that he did that with the pyro and set Undertaker off really bad and thus agree to the Wrestlemania rematch. Golden.

DaBrasko 02-22-2010 03:28 AM

You can actually see him on fire in this one.

As said, Taker's VERY lucky.

Fignuts 02-22-2010 03:37 AM

I thought taker looked a little hot under the collar.

CSL 02-22-2010 03:40 AM

Good work from Taker and whoever was feeding Michael Cole his lines

CWK 02-22-2010 03:56 AM

Holy Shit was Undertaker mad!! the one Xero just posted, you can see Taker just ripping his costume off and throwing the shit down, I bet he threw his belt at least half way back up the aisle behind him, it certainly looked that way. Damn.

Anybody Thrilla 02-22-2010 04:07 AM

Kudos to the composure of The Undertaker. He showed some serious grace under fire.

Nervous Ferret 02-22-2010 04:16 AM

Fair enough if he was pissed as hell after the match, but hes a freaking champ for no selling it as much as he did. Never noticed it while I watched the match.

Droford 02-22-2010 04:28 AM

It would have been something if he had really been injured and couldnt wrestle the EC or even at WM.

Very lucky.

Skippord 02-22-2010 04:50 AM

it was DDP

Fignuts 02-22-2010 05:03 AM

Did anyone chop him during the match, not knowing what happened?

Impeccable 02-22-2010 07:05 AM

Gotta commend him on his professionalism (i.e. show must go on attitude). Orton get's pissed when someone is late on a button press, etc.

But yeah...very lucky (dead)man.

Sixx 02-22-2010 07:11 AM

Prince of Darkness bitching about a little burn and having to pour water on his tits so it doesn't hurt?

PFFFF!

LewisTheTruest 02-22-2010 09:06 AM

Looked like he was standing right on the flames, watching it I thought he was gonna get toasted earlier. Man did he move when it happened tho. It'd be funny if that was his entrance from now on (without actually being burned of course).

Swiss Ultimate 02-22-2010 10:58 AM

...I think it's more important to note that Chris Jericho won. I am content now.

Way to go WWE!

Cool King 02-22-2010 11:15 AM

I had a feeling something went wrong during his entrance when I saw him running.

But I actually bought what Cole was saying and thought it was all Kayfabe and that The Undertaker was actually "eager" to get into the match and so on. Then later, when The Undertaker pulled down his straps and I saw a big burn mark on his chest, I was curious as to where that came from.

But yeah, the footage of it is quite amazing and The Undertaker is an extremely lucky man. His trench coat basically saved his life.

Savio 02-22-2010 11:15 AM

He was just chillin during the first flame "puff"

The Gold Standard 02-22-2010 11:26 AM

When I saw it live, I thought he just tripped because I wasn't watching closely.

But Damn. Taker is very lucky, and he did a good job at playing it off.

Jeritron 02-22-2010 11:29 AM

I wonder if Taker ever gets sick of all this shit

addy2hotty 02-22-2010 12:22 PM

Looks bad, but I'm sure backstage Michelle McCooled him off.

I was thinking he looked abit weird during the whole match,and i guess this incident was why. :lol: They really could play it out as mind games from HBK, but i doubt that will happen.

Why did the pyro guys think it was a bright idea to put one column in the middle of the ramp? Usually they are of to the side and stuff.
