Oh, boy!
OK.
White was not the color to wear.
Oh my gosh.
Well, good to see you again.
How are you doing, bro?
I'm good, much better now.
Little dusty in here.
Just so you know.
There's no telling what's in here.
Some of this stuff has been in here
boxed up at least 15 years.
But now it's time to get serious and go deep.
Yeah, let me help you out.
This storage unit that the Undertaker has it's
imperative to research because a lot of taker's memorabilia,
from years and years in WWE, are massive items that
are already in the warehouse.
There's not a lot of Undertaker stuff floating around.
He didn't do a lot of signings.
He didn't do a lot of meet and greets.
He tried to keep the mystique of his character real.
It's amazing that this treasure trove of items
is just sitting in a random storage unit in Austin, Texas.
A crushed hat.
That's early.
It's 1993.
Would it be too much to ask for you to give
me a hat tilt and an eye roll?
If it fits.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
My god that's still scary.
That's great.
The Undertaker character is like so
far out there that sometimes you're
like, this can't be real.
But he was so good, just the way he moved, the way he spoke.
Everything about that character is so iconic
that anything he has touched, anything he has worn,
it's like gold.
I think I just spotted some really cool stuff in there.
Oh, that's what I love to hear.
Oh.
Let's see here.
Holy moly, look at these.
You got something here.
Oh my God.
I don't know.
What is it?
I'm not nervous.
What do you got?
Wow!
I have not seen that thing in years.
But there was only one of these made.
This is it.
You've never seen this?
I've never seen it.
UNDERTAKER: I was wrestling a guy, Big Mabel.
He's about my height, probably 450 plus pounds.
We were in the middle of a match.
And he ended up lunging, coming full speed.
It basically was me running into his fist.
It blew out about 90% of my orbital floor.
So I ended up having to have surgery.
My optic nerve was sitting right on top of a piece jagged bone.
It was just sitting on top of it.
So if you had got hit again, it would
have probably severed that and you'd have lost your eye.
So I had this mask.
There was a little bit of padding on the inside,
just to give me a little bit of protection in case
I took a shot to the eye.
It was another one of those things
that happened that really added intrigue to the character.
Wow!
That's cool.
I can't believe it's sitting out here.
I hadn't seen this thing since probably I took it off.
This is literally living history and art.
The phantom mask is so important because it's rare,
it's unique, because it can be pinpointed to a specific time
in his career.
And every little thing that he did in it
becomes more noteworthy because he only did it the one time.
Is there any way that I would be able to take this back
with me to WWE archives?
Stanford.
You're trying to get over, right?
You're trying to get over the big brand.
Yes.
I mean, I think that's its rightful place
in the history archives.
Oh!
I tell you what, though.
I'm seeing something that may be very significant.
Oh!
Jackpot!
This is the original purple coat,
but I'm almost positive that this
is the-- and I can't believe that this stuff is in here.
The purple gear's so iconic for the Undertaker
because, prior to Summer Slam in 1994,
the Undertaker hadn't worn purple gear and he had died.
But the Undertaker's comeback was so iconic
because that purple gear signified
a new era of the Undertaker.
This is the moment, ladies and gentlemen,
we have all been waiting for.
Now, I was going from bad guy to good guy.
I was getting cheered.
Here's the scary dude that talks about taking people's souls
and eating their rotting flesh six feet under and all that.
People loved it.
[CHEERING]
Even though the purple gear would go on
to be one of the Undertaker's most iconic looks,
he actually only wore it for a small portion of his career.
So it's super rare.
It's super valuable.
In addition, the night that Paul Bearer
betrayed the Undertaker, that was
the last time that the Undertaker wore this outfit.
So this singular moment in time ties together
these two iconic items, the betrayal urn
and that purple gear, in a very, very concrete way.
I would be remiss if I didn't ask.
Could you don the gear one more time?
One more time?
At this point, it'll probably hang on me like a bad suit.
Come around.
Remember, I was a little heavier.
It still fits!
Ha, ha, look at that.
Wow!
To the extent that it's not available anywhere else--
no other collectors have ever had anything quite like this--
the original Undertaker purple gear would be
worth upwards of $50,000 plus.
You got the spats.
You've got the jacket.
You got the tie.
That is iconic Undertaker.
Like, do you think that I could take this gear with me
to the archives?
I'm cool with that.
I'm just saying, the first time I
see you dressed in this stuff on Instagram,
I'm gonna come looking for you.
You're the man.
You are really-- you are really the man.
Triple H is going to love this stuff.
Score.
This stuff outdates him.
