According to wrestling fans, The Undertaker was supposed to land near ringside, but according to WWE, when Shawn Michaels dodged, The Undertaker should have landed on a cameraman which would have slowed his fall. However, the cameraman (played by former WWE Superstar Sim Snuka) failed to catch him, resulting in the Undertaker suffering a nasty landing. While Undertaker recovered and went on to win the match against Shawn Michaels, Snuka (aka Deuce) did not appear in WWE again and was released by WWE a few months later.
