History
On a recent edition of CAW Saturday Nightmare, the Undertaker, who is the CAW World Heavyweight Champion, made an appearance on Piper’s Pit to discuss his recent “I Quit” match victory over Bam Bam Bigelow (who is, as a result, no longer with the company). During the segment, “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, the host of Piper’s Pit, picked up the Undertaker’s urn to read the inscription. Piper read it aloud: “Whosoever holds this urn, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of the Undertaker.”
At that point, he got a bit freaked out by the whole situation, and he set the urn down on a stool a little too quickly. It tipped over, spilling its contents onto the floor.
The Undertaker was, to say the least, unimpressed by this turn of events. He grabbed Piper by the throat, readying him for a chokeslam. Piper, however, escaped by kicking the Undertaker in the groin, then running like hell.
In the weeks that followed, the Undertaker chased Piper all across North America, but was never able to catch him. Finally, the Undertaker demanded a match with Piper at CAW’s upcoming pay-per-view, North American Massacre.
Piper, realizing he was screwed, did the only thing he could: he got help. On the next CAW Saturday Nightmare, as the Undertaker was easily making his way through a preparatory match, Piper appeared on the entrance ramp, distracting the Undertaker. As the Undertaker’s opponent fled for his life, two very large individuals entered the ring behind the Undertaker. He didn’t see them coming, and he never stood a chance.
King Kong Bundy and Big John Studd pounded on the Undertaker until he couldn’t stand. Then they pounded on him some more. Finally, when it looked like they were ready to leave the ring, they instead propped the Undertaker’s prone body in a corner of the ring and hit their signature move, the slingshot avalanche.
After that, they walked calmly up the ramp, joining Piper, who raised their hands in victory.
The following week, the Undertaker demanded — and was granted — a match against Bundy and Studd. Management tried to convince him that a handicap match was a bad idea, but he wanted it that way, and management relented.
Things went as one would expect. The Undertaker, being the CAW World Heavyweight Champion, is one of the best wrestlers in the world, and he held his own against Bundy and Studd — for a while. Eventually, the numbers game caught up with him, and the tide turned. Another slingshot avalanche was delivered, but this time it was followed by a devastating Studd bodyslam and a Bundy splash.
The Undertaker was stretchered out of the building.
The next week, Piper, Bundy, and Studd celebrated their victory by playing poker and having a few beers with the APA. The Undertaker was nowhere to be seen. The poker game ended with Bradshaw and Farooq heads-up. After the final hand, which Bradshaw won, all eyes turned expectantly to Farooq, who didn’t say a word. Piper, Bundy, and Studd made their way out of the arena, while the APA sat finishing their beers.
As CAW Saturday Nightmare drew to a close, a figure appeared in the shadows. He said something inaudible to Bradshaw, who said, “Yes, they do seem to have forgotten that the first A in APA stands for Acolytes.”
And with that, the camera fades to black.
