Breaking News: The Undertaker Burned Badly Last Night
Partial Source: PWInsider
According to sources, The Undertaker was in fact burned during his entrance at the Elimination Chamber PPV.
As Taker made his entrance, there was a pyro malfunction when the flames from his entrance reached his jacket and burned it. Taker quickly ripped off the jacket and moved away from the pryo. Once he got to the ring, he poured water on himself and then worked the match as scheduled.
When he returned to the locker room after the match, he was obviously very upset. Management tried to calm him down, as it was obviously an accident. He was said to be extremely pissed off backstage.
We received the following reports about the incident:
Andre Thomas sent this one in: Undertaker's coat accidentally caught on fire during his entrance. He then ripped off his burning coat. While in his pod referee constantly gave him bottled waters to pour down his arm. Not sure if this was seen on camera. After it went the PPV went off air he stormed up the ramp staring directly at the pyrotechnic area, stopped at the top of the stage (right next to the spot the pyro accidentally burned him) and yelled something at the pyrotechnics and made a threatening gesture before exiting the stage. Also, when Undertaker left his pod, the door broke and couldn't be closed back. Referee's constantly tried to close is but was unsuccessful. It was kinda funny because minutes later, the pod Jericho hid in also got jammed open and couldn't be closed.
Dustin Reppell sent this one in: I just got back from Elimination Chamber, this is former columnist Dustin Reppell. I just wanted to let you know, there was a reason the Undertaker ran to the ring, which may not have been picked up on camera. The Undertaker actually stepped into his pyro, and not only got a fireball in the face, but his Jacket went up in flames. He threw it off and ran towards the ring, and was a little shaken up because of it. I'm guessing the camera cut away, just in case they had an emergency. Thought you might like to know.
