Everybody wants to bury the Undertaker. 413 00:19:59,041 --> 00:20:04,012 - The real story is there was a miscalculation of how long it 414 00:20:04,146 --> 00:20:08,951 would take to fill up the hole once Undertaker was in there. 415 00:20:09,084 --> 00:20:11,753 So, we had to send out half the roster. 416 00:20:11,887 --> 00:20:15,124 - We rush out there with shovels to fill up a full grave. 417 00:20:15,257 --> 00:20:18,093 Try filling in a grave with a shovel in 10 minutes 418 00:20:18,227 --> 00:20:19,495 on live television. 419 00:20:19,628 --> 00:20:21,029 That was the dumbest thing. 420 00:20:21,163 --> 00:20:23,232 -

He persisted, he really wanted to take that bump because 494 00:24:23,538 --> 00:24:27,843 he felt like it needed it, and I end up asking him, 495 00:24:27,976 --> 00:24:31,380 "Mick, why do you want to kill yourself?" 496 00:24:31,513 --> 00:24:34,716 and it was a serious moment. 497 00:24:38,053 --> 00:24:40,455 It got to the point, I think it was the day of, 498 00:24:40,589 --> 00:24:42,724 I'm a firm no. 499 00:24:42,858 --> 00:24:45,093 Somehow he got to Vince and convinced Vince 500 00:24:45,227 --> 00:24:49,664 that it was okay and then they double-teamed me. 501 00:24:49,798 --> 00:24:54,002 Vince is like, "Mark, he's pretty sure 502 00:24:54,136 --> 00:24:57,205 that he can take that bump." 503 00:24:57,339 --> 00:25:00,208 I'm like, "No, I don't think we need it." 504 00:25:00,342 --> 00:25:04,980 They kept on, I'm like, "Look, fine, 505 00:25:05,113 --> 00:25:07,649 if that's what you want to do then we'll do it." 506 00:25:07,783 --> 00:25:11,420 - We have only seen one Hell in a Cell matchup in WWE history. 507 00:25:11,553 --> 00:25:13,622 - It was the most unbelievable match that I 508 00:25:13,755 --> 00:25:15,924 I think I've ever witnessed, JR. 509 00:25:16,057 --> 00:25:22,864 - It is a perverse, vile, diabolical structure. 510 00:25:22,998 --> 00:25:25,867 - Satanic, hellish. 511 00:25:26,001 --> 00:25:28,603 - It will absolutely be unforgiving 512 00:25:28,737 --> 00:25:31,606 as this night progresses. 513 00:25:31,740 --> 00:25:34,743 - We know we got some fireworks, we know we're going to do 514 00:25:34,876 --> 00:25:38,447 something no one's ever thought to do before. 515 00:25:38,580 --> 00:25:41,349 The Undertaker has a broken foot. 516 00:25:41,483 --> 00:25:44,186 We think the worst part of his night physically 517 00:25:44,319 --> 00:25:49,191 is going to be that journey up to the top of the cell. 518 00:25:49,324 --> 00:25:53,895 - Undertaker in a very precarious position. 519 00:25:54,029 --> 00:25:55,931 Nothing between the Undertaker and the concrete floor 520 00:25:56,064 --> 00:26:00,769 but imagination. 521 00:26:03,705 --> 00:26:04,739 Audience Member: Don't fall on me. 522 00:26:04,873 --> 00:26:07,075 -
