DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: The first WWF Buried Alive match
For your Halloween week enjoyment. let’s talk about a spooky match: the first-ever Buried Alive match at 1996’s WWF In Your House between Undertaker and Mankind.
Mankind was being managed by Paul Bearer at the time and both men were exceptionally good…despite the match being ridiculous. The match itself also featured appearances by Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Justin Hawk Bradshaw, Goldust digging holes, and Terry Gordy with a bag over his head.
Let’s have some fun.
