WWF Raw 1/11/1999 - The Ministry of Darkness is Born!

[ishowclips]

The ministry of darkness is by far the scariest faction that wwe has ever produced

[WarhawkBeyond]

Undertaker turning heel in late 98 already cemented himself as a monster but for me this moment with the formation of the Ministry of Darkness was when he truly became pure evil. We'll never see anything like this again which is one of the many reasons why the attitude era will always be a special period in wrestling history.

[majo]

One of those wrestling gimmicks that will never be replicated ever again

[TheRealestEric]

This was, hands down, the absolute coolest incarnation of Undertaker and the ABSOLUTE coolest faction WWE/F has ever ran.

[pierrebrouard]

This scene was much better than the entire last 20 years

[ryancox]

This shows the pure talent the undertaker had in his promo ability, they've tried to recreate dark or evil factions with others and in different promotions but nothing will ever compare to the ministry of darkness

[castle]

Man I never appreciated the quality of writing in that monologue as a kid! Strong stuff!

[eegoofficial]

1999 was one of the greatest years of all time

[crushthewrestlingchampion]

[rogerj]

1:42 - 4:36 greatest speech in wrestling history and is not even close.

[shanga]

This was sooo dark! Imagine this promo on todays raw 😂. Kids will be crying to go home.

[Sorripto]

I came here after Jim Cornette's podcast talked about laser pointers. Holy crap they were not joking.

[christiancruiz]

Oh the 90s with the lazer pointers lol

[battlestarmarc]

Ministry of Darkness was an awesome gimmick that should have lasted longer.
Undertaker Mankind was a great feud.

[NotMarkSII]

this era was so wild. 8th grade me was living for this stuff. I wanted this taker to pop up one last time before he retired

[ChrisManley]

"Is that The Undertaker?!?!?" No Cole it's fucking

[jamesorion]

I was 13 when I first watched this, had it taped on VHS because I was taping what I wasn't watching live and I was on a WCW kick at the time. I remember almost fast forwarding through the bloody parts, this version of Taker was truly terrifying, but also extremely entertaining and definitely my favorite version of the character.

[Dark_Hart]

People shit on the cut wrist thing n mideon drinking the blood, but if this isnt one of the best promos ever and possibly the best Taker promo period then idk wat is.

[axebomber]

The Undertaker did an interview where he talked about being influenced by Pinhead from Hellraiser around this time, and he wasn't lying. "Embrace the darkness, and relish in the unearthly delights that pain has to offer. Resist, and there are no limits to the torment that you subject yourself to. Don't fight it. It will tear your soul apart."

[UnofficialAP]

i forgot what a first impression laser pointers had when everyone stated to get them
