[1995-04-01-SMW-TV] The Gangstas vignette / Interview: The Undertaker / Interview: Jim Cornette

Talk about it here.

The Gangstas walk through a graveyard to prove that they aren't scared of the Undertaker. Suddenly, the camera effects are black and white and everyone is acting all scared. Weird seeing this in SMW. New Jack wants to dig some graves to make a point, which is kind of extreme. Everyone takes off running, and "Don't Fear The Reaper" plays to hype the Undertaker coming in.

 

Then, we get Undertaker and Paul Bearer doing an interview to put some fear in them before finally cutting back to the "studio" (for lack of a better word) for a Cornette interview with Jim Ross.

The Black cat was a nice touch. Loved the Gangstas vignette.

Old school Taker seems so corny now. And so out of place in SMW too. I don't feel this angle at all, especially since they couldn't get anyone to join the Gangstas to make it seem like they had a chance (Killer Kyle, really ?).

The Gangstas cut a promo from a cemetery with black and white video effects and a theremin in the background. New Jack is pretty funny, even if this approaches old stereotype territory. The posse is scared off by a wolf howl as the camera pans to a black cat and "Don't Fear the Reaper" plays. Weird but clever.

 

Paul Bearer and the Undertaker inform us the Gangstas will know the meaning of fright. Bearer promises to keep an eye on Cornette.

 

Cornette has words for Peanuthead New Jack, Pieface Mustafa, and Buckwheat D'Lo (!!!).
