The Boneyard Match was a genuine highlight of a strange WrestleMania 36.
It was the very first Showcase of the Immortals to take place behind closed doors, due to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
It spanned two nights, and featured two cinematic matches.
Along with the Firefly Fun House match between The Fiend Bray Wyatt and John Cena, AJ Styles did battle with The Undertaker in the main event of night one.
The Boneyard Match took place on a rather derelict farm and featured some incredible storytelling, as well as some genuinely awesome spots.
AJ, of course, had back-up in the form of Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, with the pair attempting to wear down Taker and give their Club brother an advantage.
That didn’t pan out, though, with the Deadman emerging victorious.
Gallows and Anderson have since left the company, with the Boneyard Match their last on WWE programming.
However, Luke has now opened up on the match and claims that Taker worked the majority of it with a severe arm injury.
He attempted to punch AJ in one spot but put his hand through a limousine window, legitimately cutting himself.
Speaking to Sitting Ringside with David Penzer, via Wrestlingnews, Gallows said: “I think we started taping right when it got dark enough and we finished at 5:30 in the morning. It was long. It was a bit tedious but we got what we needed. Taker comes right out of the gate, swings at AJ who is against the limo, AJ ducks and puts his fist and arms through the glass.
“He got not just a cut, but a massive cut where you can see all kinds of s*** hanging out of it. He’s old school, so he didn’t want to stop. They cleaned it up and held a towel around it as long as we could.
“We put a bandage on it and they went again and kept going. He continued to do it and bled all night. He’s an old school dude so I have respect for that. I thought it was cool. I said to Karl. didn’t wrestling learn from the Goldberg incident?
“When big bad ass strong dudes punch this glass, sometimes it breaks, and when it does, it cuts the f*** out of you. Why do we not have a gimmick glass for this? Jeremy Borash was on hand for the production along with HHH and Michael Hayes and all of us.”
It sounds really nasty, and Gallows has a point.
Back in WCW, Goldberg put his hand through a limousine window, too, and a piece of the broken glass cut an artery in his forearm, a genuinely horrific injury that left him on the shelf for five months.
Perhaps they should have used gimmick glass, here, then, given history’s lessons.
But Taker’s old school, so of course he carried on.
