[1992-11-26-WWF-Survivor Series] The Undertaker vs Kamala (Coffin)

This is a coffin match, not a casket match. The difference being that you have to pin your opponent before you attempt to roll them into the coffin. Kamala's facial expressions are fantastic, he puts over his fear of the casket and makes this stick out from most of Undertaker's other matches versus other monster heels. This doesn't go long, but Kamala's performance and all the interferance from Paul Bearer, Harvey Wippleman and Kim Chee make this the most entertaining undercard match on the show.

Yea, it almost seems like Vince or whoever had no confidence in Kamala or Taker being able to actually work longer than 5 minutes, but the 5 minutes or so we do get is actually way better than expected. Undertaker hits the Old School early, but once the action spills out of the ring, the brawling is pretty good. The chair shot isn't captured great by the camera, but it sounds like he really cracks him (which is almost better than if we had seen that it was actually a weak shot). Then, as the OP said, I love Kamala's reactions to not only the ineffectiveness of his initial body slams, but then when the urn ends up in the ring. This match could've stood for a bit more brawling, maybe more interference/interaction between Kim Chee and Bearer (as their limited interaction gets a great reaction), and, truthfully, at least one false finish or even having Kim Chee getting stuffed in the casket as well. 

Maybe this match benefits from being so short, but to me, it almost seems like a shame they didn't get to throw at least one more momentum swing or twist to this match because everything they did do was pretty good.
