CASKET MATCH RULES
Vader
w/Jim Cornette
vs.
the Undertaker
w/Lady Tyr & Paul Bearer

The Match:
As the casket is being wheeled down to ringside, the camera shows... once again... the Bad Guy Razor circling the ring, ready to watch the final match in the tournament. He is gnawing on a toothpick and has an extra one behind his ear. He is wearing his leather vest with the razor blades on it.

Vader's music starts to play and red lights start flashing! Jim Cornette leads outs Vader, who is carrying a chair. He gets up into the ring, tossing the chair outside.

BONG! The Chicago fans rise up as the lights drop out! A purple spotlight guides down a procession of Paul Bearer, the Lady Tyr... five druids and the Undertaker! The Undertaker reaches ringside and brings the lights up by raising his hands.

Howard: Aren't they taking this a little too far? I mean... this guy didn't just REALLY turn on the lights!

JR: Now I don't think you'd want to say that to HIM would you?

Howard: I don't HAVE to! That's why I'm sitting way over here with you!

The Undertaker removes his hat and coat and turns towards his people.

Undertaker: Unless someone tries to interfere first... do not assist me... this is my war, not yours.

Tyr: Alrighty, Undertaker... as good as done!

The Undertaker turns and begins to go up the steps where the large Vader awaits.

JR: Well, he shouldn't have too much to worry about! This is a REAL match! Not like IMITATION federations where 20 guys can LEGALLY stuff a man in the casket! That doesn't fly here in Piper's league!

The Undertaker steps between the ropes... and Vader attacks him! Vader hits repeated body shots, that rock the Undertaker around in the ring! Vader bashes the Undertaker back into the corner, lifting him up off the canvas with the force of the shots!

Howard: Why isn't this Vader a part of the Empire? Isn't he supposed to be their leader?

JR: Mr. Stern, I think you're thinking of Star Wars. It's not that kind of Empire!

Vader wraps his big arms around the Undertaker's mid-section and prepares for a suplex... but the Undertaker chops Vader on top of the head! Vader steps back... and the Taker hits him in the face with a big boot! Vader's arms spin around... the Taker steps foward... AND NAILS HIM AGAIN with a big BOOT! VADER DROPS!!!

The Undertaker holds his hand out to the Creatures and they respond! Paul Bearer raises the urn high over his head! Vader pulls himself up to his feet and runs at the Taker. The Undertaker turns... and Vader SLAMS INTO HIM! The Taker flips over the top rope and lands on his feet on the outside, next to the casket. The Taker rolls his eyes back into his head!

Vader follows the Undertaker to the outside... and the Undertaker bashes him! Vader stumbles back and the Taker grabs him by the head... and SLAMS IT INTO THE STEEL BARRICADE! Vader staggers around and slides back into the ring, holding his masked-head.

The Taker follows, rising up to his feet. Vader angrily rushes at him... and into... A POWERSLAM!!!! The Taker rolls off of him and to his back... and RISES UP! Vader turns to his side and pulls himself up along the ropes. The Taker throws a big boot at Vader's face... Vader ducks and comes up behind the Undertaker... ELBOW SMASH ON THE TOP OF THE HEAD!

The Undertaker's world spins a bit... and he collapses! Vader goes up and sits on the top rope, stands on the second... AND HITS AN ABDOMINAL SPLASH!!! Vader stands up with his arms outstretched, yelling out at the fans!

The Undertaker rises up to his feet. Vader sees... and runs at the Undertaker... AVALANCHING HIM IN THE CORNER!!! They begin to battle in the corner with punches, chops and forearm smashes! Vader hits a forearm BASH! The Undertaker hits a chop to the throat! Vader spins around... DISCUS PUNCH!

Vader then gets under the Undertaker and presses himUP OVER HIS HEAD! The Taker shakes himself off and drops down behind the man from the Rockies... and CLOTHESLINES HIM!!! The Undertaker tries to pull Vader over in a Tombstone....

TOO MUCH WEIGHT! Vader tries to reverse it... but just blocks! Vader turns the Taker... INTO A SIDE SUPLEX!!!! Vader gets over top of the Taker and begins hammering him with punches and body shots. The Undertaker tries to absorb each shot, and pulls himself up.

Vader yanks his head forward and goes for a Powerbomb... he pumps... NOTHING! He tries again... NO!! Vader tries to POWERBOMB AGAIN... BUT THE TAKER DOESN'T GO! The Undertaker's purple glove slams up into Vader's side! Vader backs up... then drops down to a three point stance... FOOTBALL TACKLE! The Undertaker is flipped head over heels... VADER CATCHES HIM... TOMBSTONE!!!!!

Cornette swings his racket over his head and cheers as Vader gets up and starts stomping on the Undertaker! The Taker still manages to sit up and stand! Vader's eyes go wide with suprise... then ANGER! He slams a fist into theTaker's chops.... THEN GORILLA PRESSES HIM OUT OF THE RING!!! Vader jumps from the ring and grabs the Undertaker by the hair. He yanks him around the ring's corner toward the casket....
