Pyro Malfunction

I've just read that The Undertaker was accidentally set alight during his ring entrance at last night's Elimination Chamber event.

Taker has the most elaborate entrance in professional wrestling and things obviously went awry as he ran to the ring rather than doing his usual slow stroll.

It wasn't caught on the main camera but he was also apparently dousing water over his body during his wait inside one of the pods of the chamber.

I remember being at Earls Court in London during one of the UK pay-per-view events when Kane's pyrotechnic entrance went off and I felt a hot feeling even though I was standing a few feet away. I can't imagine how intense the heat must be for those guys standing directly by it.

It's obviously a dangerous part of the business - if things aren't done correctly - but I cannot see it being taken away due to it adding to the spectacle.
