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.

he's......... real?

On Fire!

Nail in the coffin!

I will never doubt his powers ever again.

BOOMSHAKALAKA

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

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

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!!!!"

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.

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

Just start billing Taker from Hell.

:rofl:

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

WYLE E. COYOTE STYLE!

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.

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

ROFL

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

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

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

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

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

Maybe Matt did it.

Now that would get Shawn some crazy heel heat

:shifty:

whoa, awesome

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

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

Stop posting so fast, you shitdicks.

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

Shawn: I figured if I can't face him, NO ONE CAN!

That one line remedies this.

I was DEAD serious too

This WOULD set up a Taker vs Michaels Inferno Match.

Or a Soaked Alive with Bottled Water Match at least.

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)

Dasani on a Pole Match.

That pun was definitely intended, you bastard.

Match? Lets make it a whole PPV!

November: Dasani On A Pole ppv

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.

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.
