[1992-04-05-WWF-Wrestlemania VIII] Jake Roberts vs The Undertaker

[cactus]

Jake Roberts cuts a promo backstage before the match and it's amazing stuff. They runs down an angle where Roberts attacks Undertaker and lays out Paul Bearer. He comes across as a sick killer and it's a damn shame that I know that the match isn't going to be anywhere near the quality of his promo.

Undertaker has spent the last year working as a heel who doesn't sell anything. Now a face, he still doesn't show much emotion and it hurts the quality of his matches, but the crowd are enamoured by him. Roberts even lands two DDTs and Undertaker sits right back up after a few seconds. Undertaker wins by landing a Tombstone on the outside and throwing Roberts back in the ring to get the three count. This was short enough not to drag and the crowd lapped everything, but the match isn't anything special. Check out the promo, skip the match.
