WWE crew member deserved to be fired after incident with The Undertaker Dutch Mantell says

WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker Dutch Mantell has given his thoughts on the pyrotechnics incident involving at WWE Elimination Chamber 2010. The Deadman suffered burns to his chest after his coat caught on fire during his ring entrance. The legendary superstar could repeatedly be seen pouring water on himself while standing in the Elimination Chamber pod in the early stages of the 36-minute match. On Story Time with Dutch Mantell, the veteran wrestling booker commented on WWE allegedly firing the crew member responsible for the pyro that day: "He should have [been fired] because Undertaker was a valuable, valuable asset, and money generator for WWE," Mantell said. "That's like taking your star singer of a band and setting him on fire or hurting him. Whoever is responsible for that, and that's his job – pyrotechnics is his job – if he can't do his job, he needs to go, and I'm sure he left and he won't be welcome back." [1:49 – 2:19] In 2020, The Undertaker on Steve Austin's Broken Skull Sessions show that he wanted to "kill" the pyrotechnics crew member. The WWE Hall of Famer had previously spoken to the person responsible and warned that the pyro needed to be positioned further away.
