22. King Kong Bundy – WrestleMania XI
After an unsuccessful WWF Championship opportunity against Yokozuna at the 1994 Royal Rumble, Taker spent the next seven months on the shelf allowing a back injury to heal. In his absence, Ted DiBiasi, the leader of the Million Dollar Corporation stable, brought in his own imposter Undertaker. That summer, Taker returned and in one of the most underwhelming SummerSlam main events in history, laid waste to the faux Deadman.
With just how badly that angle went over, most figured that his feud with Dibiasi’s clan would be over. But that was unfortunately far from the case. The program spilled all the way into 1995 and resulted in a match at WrestleMania XI. So who from that clan would go on to face The Undertaker at such a marquee event? How about Bam Bam Bigelow? Nope. He was absurdly booked to be in the main event against former NFL player Lawrence Taylor that night. How about Irwin R. Schyster? No again. They’d already wrestled at the pay per view before Mania. How about Kama? That was being saved for SummerSlam. Tatanka? Well, there was no reasoning behind him being overlooked.
This left King Kong Bundy, who by far had his biggest moment in a wrestling ring nine years earlier when he main evented WrestleMania II in a steel cage against Hulk Hogan, to take the inevitable beating. Six minutes and thirty-six seconds later and it was all over for The Walking Condominium and Taker was 4-0 at Mania. Unfortunately he’d be stuck in this program through the summer, but just two years after this win, The Deadman would finally capture his second world title.
