Royal Rumble 94 question

[wildojinx]

Ok, we all know that at the end of the Taker/Yoko match, Taker rose to the "heavens". Now, I've read that it was Marty Jannetty dressed in a Taker outfit doing this thing, but I've looked at it and I'm not sure as Marty and Taker had different hairstyles (even in 1994), and it's plausible that they just used a trap door in the coffin so Taker could rush backstage and get strapped up quickly. So has it ever been confirmed if it was Marty or Taker?

I heard Marty claimed that it was Steve Lombardi.

[DiBiase is Good]

I heard that Marty has denied it was him.
I don’t think it’s Taker as even if there was a trap door in the casket the only place that he could have gone was under the ring. There was no elevated ramp or anywhere else to escape to without it being seen.
You never get a good shot of the “rising Taker” and with the lights being dimmed and dry ice it could have been damn near anyone in a wig.

[Mozenrath]

Yeah, it could be anybody, but if Marty says it's not him, it probably isn't him. He'd be more likely to claim credit for something than to deny it.

[ehead]

For the longest time, I always thought it was Marty myself. Heard so many conflicting stories about this.

Bruce Prichard said it was just a local wrestler from the North East. I don’t necessarily believe that though. Knowing the indies the guy would still be wrestling as Rhode Island Undertaker

When you think about it, if it was Taker, why would they not show us that it was clearly Taker? Because then the kids would have known for sure he had magic powers.
