Recap does a good job in four minutes of filling in gaps of stuff we lost but the whole set up is stupid and I cant remember how Summerslam is presented with the fake Taker but going in, it looks like there is no way for Dibiase to not look like a complete idiot.

With WWF production values having gone into the toilet, it's a credit that they were able to convincingly portray Brian Lee as the genuine article. Underfaker is prevented from returning to Paul Bearer by the lure of DiBiase's money, so apparently Bearer can now regain contact with *his* Undertaker now. Yeah, makes total sense to me.

 

DiBiase cuts a promo from...a restroom. Coming off last week's promo from a standard office cubicle, they're not exactly going out of their way to show DiBiase as a paragon of opulence.

I just rewatched this whole feud via the network and I THINK I've figured it out from beginning to end now. It's just batshoot insane but here goes.

 

UT vanishes after losing the casket match, returning to the netherworld. At some point a random demon (no I'm not making this up, I think this was the idea) impersonates him around various places. Ted Dibiase hears about this and thinking it is the original Undertaker, somehow contacts him and convinces him to join his new corporation.

 

After defeating Tatanka effortlessly (which might have been a lay down since Tatanka may or may not have already sold out to Dibiase), Ted's fake UT is confronted by Paul Bearer, who is skeptical that this is the real deal. The Fakertaker teases going with Paul Bearer, since it would seal his claim to impersonate the original better and desecrate the spirit of the UT, which was his master plan all along (listen to all the promos, I wish to God I was making this up). But Dibiase pulls out some major cash and being greedy and evil, fake Taker stays with him.

 

That convinces Paul Bearer he's not the real deal and Bearer signs for the Summerslam match, having faith that the real Undertaker will show up to restore his good name. After his spirit saves Paul Bearer from a choke out on Raw and taunts the fake Taker and Dibiase on Superstars, he does exactly that (wearing purple now because that's the color of rebirth in the Roman Catholic Church). He destroys the Fake Undertaker who is sent back to hell (hence why the coffin is empty when Leslie Nielson opens it.

 

So Dibiase was more or less an innocent dude as he really believed his Undertaker was the real deal.

 

 

Everybody got that (Say it like Rick Moranis in Spaceballs for max effect)?
