[Nachdem Paul Bearer das große Geheimnis des Undertaker gelüftet hatte, steht dieser in der Umkleide]

The Undertaker: "It's true. Yes, it is true. My mother, my father and my little brother burnt to death in the family funeral home. But I think it's important that we have all the facts straight. Yes, Kane and I were playing with matches that day. And we were punished when my father found us. Me more so than Kane. I was the oldest. I should have known better. My father explained to us what we were doing and how all this liquids were flammable. And after he punished me he sent me on my way to do my daily chores. And as I was leaving the funeral home, I looked back and I've seen Kane leaving out of one of the rear doors of the embalming room. And I've seen that he had those liquids in his hands. It would have never occurred to me what he was gonna do. I thought nothing of it. And I live with that fact every day of my life. Kane was my responsibility. He was my little brother.

As I returned to the funeral home from doing my chores I could hear the sirens. I could see the smoke filling the sky. Without knowing I knew...I knew what had happened. And I ran. And I ran as fast as I could. When I got to the funeral home it was engulfed in flames. I never slowed down for one second. I ran right for the front door. That's when they grabbed me. They wouldn't let me go in. The fire fighters, they held me back. And as I stood there – restrained. I watched the funeral home. And inside that funeral home was my mother, my father and little Kane. I watched that funeral home burn down to the ground.

And yes, Paul, it's true. I wasn't at the funeral. But you didn't care to explain to the people why that was. That two nights before during the middle of the night you drug me to the neighboring funeral home so that I could see my family. To this very day the image of my mother laying on that table – as you pulled that sheet back and I look at the burnt and charred body of the most wonderful woman, that had ever walked on this earth, laid there, the air escaped from my lungs. I couldn't breathe. I thought I was gonna be sick. But you insisted...you insisted that the small boy in the middle of the night go and look at the charred remains of what two days earlier was his family.

It was the day that changed me forever. For me to be able to deal with the death of my family I had to look at death. I had to understand that without death there cannot be life. So I have taken it a part of myself to walk a path where no one else chooses to. I draw strength from the spirit of the dead. And that spirit of my mother, of my father and of my little brother will strike you down, Paul Bearer – will strike...you...down!"
- The Undertaker wurde kurz zuvor von seinem Ex-Manager Paul Bearer des Mordes an seiner Familie bezichtigt. Bearer behauptete, der Taker selbst hätte das Feuer gelegt, das rund zwanzig Jahre zuvor scheinbar seine komplette Familie getötet hatte. Pikanterweise gestand der Deadman die Tat gut ein Jahr später im Zuge eines Heelturns, verbündete sich erneut mit Bearer und gründete die Ministry Of Darkness.
