A look back at the 'Buried Alive' matches in WWE

3) The Undertaker & Big Show vs Rock ‘n’ Sock Connection at SmackDown , 1999

On August 30, 1999, the Rock ‘N’ Sock Connection was formed when The Undertaker and Big Show attacked The Rock on Raw, leading The Rock to challenge both of them to a match. At the time, it was considered career “suicide” to face a team as deadly as The Undertaker and The Big Show. With this in mind, Mankind (who used a smelly sock named “Mr. Socko” as part of his gimmick) asked his former enemy if he could help with his fight against Undertaker and Big Show. The Rock reluctantly accepted, and later that night the two captured The Undertaker and Big Show’s WWF Tag Team Titles when they pinned Big Show after a double People’s Elbow. This resulted in a Buried alive match on SmackDown for the title and the pair lost the belts on September 7, 1999 against Undertaker and Big Show, when then-heel Triple H interfered.
