Someone needs to send this video to The Undertaker. Once he sees it, hopefully, he'll cover it on his podcast, Six Feet Under.

[@metalslayergameplays6089]

Yeah, I hope so too, sure there was a good story too.

[@VanuttChan]

I don't think you understand how EPIC this footage. Yea, we see Taker out of character now. But to see EARLY 90'S TAKER OUT OF CHARACTER???? 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@jakep1979]

Yeah if this video would have gotten out in the early 90's it might have ruined the Undertaker character & it couldn't have been used no more. I bet Vince Mcmahon lawyers ensured that heads would roll if any footage of Undertaker not being Undertaker would've leaked by a 3rd party.

They may not have been recording sound during this session. If the session was for mo-cap, would there have been a point to capturing audio as well? I don't know. I agree, though, that hearing what was going on would be great.

[@CarloisBuriedAlive]

He played the Undertaker in such a phenomenal way that it’s STILL weird seeing him playfully flipping people off and laughing, or even wiping hair out of his eyes. As an adult, you start to understand how every little movement and look was totally character-driven. He’s a true one of a kind legend and yet I feel he still doesn’t get the full credit for his storytelling and character evolution compared to other top guys. We basically had a larger than life Batman type character in real time for 30 years.

[@brixtonmystery]

[@tbirddddd]

I don't know if it was Taker's or someone at Midway's idea to have his hair constantly covering his face, but it looks SO good in the game. It would never work in live wrestling, but it gives him such a menacing look in the game.

[@cs77smith67]

It's someone else, not taker. His hair is not like that anymore

[@SatanSquad]

​@@cs77smith67That is the Undertaker. You do realize this is old footage right?

[@rashaanmungo]

In most of takers squash matches he kept hair covering his face and you only saw during the pin with his eyes rolled back. Not seeing his face was part of the gimmick so I think midway ran with that

[@RealAlphaDrum]

what is crazy about this, doing digital capture isn't exactly easy, yet it seems all these guys did it very naturally. They act in the ring, but are applying what they know to the capture studio. Also, I heard they did capture in 1994 for this, so this actually may be when Taker was out for several months.

[@danieldonnelly3589]

Explains why Taker looks to be clean shaven and doesn’t have the full tattoo sleeves yet while still have the 94 return hair.😊

[@RealAlphaDrum]

@@danieldonnelly3589 taker had this hair at the rumble 94. I don't think he is clean shaven, it's just the camera quality coupled with lighting and the color of his red facial hair and his skin. By summerslan 94 he had dyed it jet black.

[@Steambull1]

Takes practice to learn to attack with proper combos in the game (a lot of button press memorization), but it's really well made, and a part of the Golden Era WWF. I've always had an interest in the development process, and this footage is an absolute treat! The guy directing is Sal Divita, who was Nightwolf, Sektor and Cyrax in MK3. I bet Divita would have fun stories about working with the WWF talent. We've already heard that Bret and Taker were great to work with, as they took the assignment very seriously, despite not having a clue about video games.

even tho it was for a short time (seemed forever as a kid) i fucked with tha grey/purple attire he had before going all black in '97

[@Viprz]

Definitely cool to see old footage like this, hard to believe it's already been around 30 years since then. Little side note of useless knowledge, this video is probably one of the last where you see The Undertaker wearing his original attire, with the the grey gloves and boot slacks (not sure if that's the right term), before switching to purple which is actually what you see in the finished game. I'm assuming this was filmed in 1994 since the game was released in 1995. The Undertaker's last televised match in the grey was in January of 1994 (Royal Rumble). He took time off after that to treat an injury and when he returned in August of that year for Summer Slam, he was wearing the purple.

[@JustCallMeRazzberryAzzyV1]

They need to bring back this way of making fighting games, it would probably look really great now-a-days. Hell, I'd love if they made another WWE game this way.
