[1999-08-16-WWF-Raw] The Undertaker, Big Show and Chris Jericho

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Undertaker, who was a real crowd killer at this point, does an awful promo that I always assumed had to be purposely bad because of Chris Jericho's interruption pointing it out, but it apparently wasn't. Jericho apparently once again hit a little too close to home by calling Undertaker and Show boring and talking about the two of them getting way too much TV time, and got himself some heat in the process. Poor guy.

Taker looked like he was going to walk down and just destroy Jericho after Jericho was done. Jericho was just shooting on all cylinders. Taker's promo was awful and made no sense..

[Zenjo]

The Undertaker seemed to have turned into the American Badass during his promo. I also assumed that it was purposely bad to tie in with Jericho.

Taker did not seem happy but Jericho was getting some face pops this time around saving the crowd from an awful promo from Taker. He was put in a no win situation here.

'Taker's promo is almost legendary in its WTF so-bad-it's-goodness, talking about meeting up with Hell's Angels and stranding Big Show in the middle of Death Valley with a non-working motorcycle. The only way I can see this being improved upon would be a series of Russo-scripted on-location vignettes. Jericho saves us all and pretty much turns himself babyface in the process. Jericho is hilarious, but at the same time I can see why he'd draw heat for this--you really probably shouldn't be shitting on the monster heels' gimmick and dismissing how scary they are, no matter how bad the promo was that you interrupted. Still, it was a bad promo indeed.
