There are very few wrestlers who can remain cool under fire like The Undertaker. The Deadman is known for his gimmick of being the guardian of hell, who has sent more than one opponent to their resting place.

However, one time, the gimmick caught up with The Deadman in the most unexpected way. While he was making his way out to the ring, during the 2010 Elimination Chamber pay-per-view, the pyro went wrong and his clothes caught on fire a bit.

He had to stagger and break his usual slow march down to the ring by running a bit. To the casual fans, it would perhaps not make a difference, but for fans of The Undertaker, it was obvious something was wrong. The Phenom had suffered burns to his body and he shed his coat really fast.

He had to wait a long time as well before it was his turn to enter the ring. He emptied bottles of water over himself to control the pain. He paced his pod throughout like a tiger and it turned out that he had sustained some legitimate burns.

Despite breaking character for a while, The Undertaker went back to doing what he does best. He maintained character for the rest of the match and did whatever it took to remain convincing until the match ended.
