Sports WWE's Undertaker Makes Burniest Entrance Ever*!

*That is if you don't count Michael Jackson, I guess.
One of the WWE's most popular wrestlers, The Undertaker, got a singe and a scare on Sunday when a pyrotechnic snafu occurred during a match in St. Louis. Upon entering the arena, a number of fireballs exploded around him, with one hitting him square in the chest. In the video below, you can see him whipping off his jacket—but instead of making a huge deal about the very close call, he quickly let a doctor check what turned out to be a minor burn, and then jumped right into the ring, barely missing a beat. But then that could be because he's already dead, right? And dead skin stinks whether it's burning or not. Just an observation.
Here's the front view:
Here's a scarier side view of the incident.
