Why is this happening? Well, Jinsei was killed by the Great Muta in a previous match and, since The Undertaker exists between life and death, Jinsei Shinzaki must defeat him in order to return to life. Makes perfect sense. This match is part Undertaker showcase as the Deadman goes through all of his signature offense on a barely responsive Shinzaki to the Japanese fans. Shinzaki is dead, remember? But along the way, we see him begin to revive and that's when the match really begins as Jinsei fights back against the insurmountable power of the Undertaker. We get some great demonstrations of both men's athletic abilities and some solid selling from Taker when Shinzaki finally gets some ground on him. It's not a very long match but it's a pretty fun ride and probably one of Taker's better matches from the 90s given that he spends a good chunk of the decade wrestling various stiffs in crap gimmicks.
