Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby “The Brain” Heenan are on commentary for this match. Jimmy Snuka enters first, closely followed by The Undertaker and Paul Bearer. Gorilla and Heenan say there will be some sleepless nights thanks to Taker as they cut to kids looking scared in the crowd.
UNDERTAKER VS. JIMMY SNUKA
WWF Wrestlemania VII (24th March 1991)
The bell rings and Jimmy Snuka advances but stops as he notices that Undertaker hasn't moved at all. Snuka goes back to his corner and Undertaker attacks from behind. Jimmy Snuka escapes one corner for another before getting choked against the ropes. Undertaker breaks at 3, sending Snuka off the ropes into a leaping clothesline. Undertaker rakes the face and goes back to choking in the corner, Snuka gets something resembling offense, sending Taker into the corner but eats a boot and is sent out to the floor. Paul Bearer shows off the urn as Jimmy Snuka gets suplexed back into the ring. Undertaker misses an elbow drop and eats a flurry of strikes from Snuka but he reverses an irish whip. Jimmy Snuka ducks a clothesline but overshoots a jumping crossbody, hanging his ribs over the top rope and sending himself out to the floor. Jimmy Snuka hits a shoulder barge through the ropes and a headbutt on Undertaker, Jimmy Snuka springboards from the top rope but gets caught! Undertaker hits the Tombstone and wins the match.
WINNER: UNDERTAKER
It wasn't overly pretty, but for its' day, the finish would have been amazing. Really it's a nothing match, the prestige of beginning The Streak and kicking off history can only get you so far. There was a slight miscommunication on the finish too.– [**½] match but personally 4/10
