• Kane On The Backstory Of Putting Undertaker’s Casket On Fire At Royal Rumble 1998
During a recent interview on Pardon My Take, WWF Legend Kane talked about putting The Undertaker’s casket on fire at Royal Rumble 1998.
Below is what Kane said:
“There were a lot of smoke and mirrors. The thing was that they used lighter fluid. That was the actual accelerant, but they didn’t tell me how much they had used.
It ended up being a lot more and more spectacular flame than I thought it was going to. Evidently the arena still remembers that. It was pretty controlled, we had safety measures in place.”
