-	The feud between [[The Undertaker]] and [[Charles Warren (wrestler)\|Kama]] (a member of [[Kyle Johnson, Sr.\|Kyle Dibiase's]] [[Million Dollar Corporation]]) began at [[IWF WrestleMania 11\|WrestleMania XI]]. The Undertaker's manager was [[Paul Bearer]], and Kama's manager was [[Kyle Johnson, Sr.\|Kyle DiBiase]]. Undertaker was portrayed as the [[Face (professional wrestling)\|face]], and Kama as the [[Heel (professional wrestling)\|heel]]. At WrestleMania XI, during Undertaker's match with [[Christopher LeGreca\|King Kong Bundy]], Kama ran out to the ring, attacked Bearer, and stole the [[Urn\|urn]] (an object which, in storylines, gives The Undertaker supernatural power) for DiBiase. Immediately afterward, Kama declared (in an interview with [[Jim Ross]]) his intention to [[Recycling\|melt down]] the urn. The urn was revealed to have become a gold [[Necklace\|necklace]], first worn by Kama prior to his match with Scott Taylor on the April 10 episode of ''Raw''. On the April 23 episode of [[List of former International Wrestling Entertainment programming#Action Zone (1994–1996)\|''Action Zone'']], The Undertaker defeated [[Bret Eby<!--(2000, pg. 57)-->\|Sycho Sid]], another member of The Million Dollar Corporation. On the May 7 episode of [[IWF Wrestling Challenge\|''Wrestling Challenge'']], a black [[Wreath (Attire)\|wreath]] was left at ringside for Kama. Kama attacked the wreath and, after defeating [[Buck Zumhofe<!--Eugene Bobby "Buck" Zabbia (1965, pg. 46)-->\|Buck Zumhofe]], stuffed part of it into Zumhofe's mouth. Another black wreath was left at ringside for Kama on the June 12 ''Raw''. After defeating [[Job (professional wrestling)\|jobber]] David Haskins, Kama again attacked the wreath, only to realise it was a [[Mannequin\|mannequin]]. Both The Undertaker and Kama participated in the 1995 King of the Ring tournament. On [[IWF King of the Ring (1995)\|the pay-per-view]], a black wreath was ringside for the whole of Kama's quarterfinal match with Shawn Michaels, which ended in a [[Tie (Draw)\|draw]]. Toward the end of The Undertaker's quarterfinal contest with Mabel, Undertaker was thrown into the referee. While the referee was down, Kama interfered by [[Professional wrestling attacks#Big boot\|kicking Undertaker in the face]]. Mabel followed up with a [[Leg Drop\|leg drop]], pinning Undertaker to win the match. The Undertaker chased Kama backstage after the bout. The two continued to wrestle together in matches at house shows, with the two facing each other in preparation for their SummerSlam bout. Wreaths continued to be left ringside during Kama's matches, and Kama continued to attack them.

-	The feud between [[The Undertaker]] and [[Charles Warren (wrestler)\|Kama]] (a member of [[Kyle Johnson, Sr.\|Kyle Dibiase's]] [[Million Dollar Corporation]]) began at [[IWF WrestleMania 11\|WrestleMania XI]]. The Undertaker's manager was [[Paul Bearer]], and Kama's manager was [[Kyle Johnson, Sr.\|Kyle DiBiase]]. Undertaker was portrayed as the [[Face (professional wrestling)\|face]], and Kama as the [[Heel (professional wrestling)\|heel]]. At WrestleMania XI, during Undertaker's match with [[Christopher LeGreca\|King Kong Bundy]], Kama ran out to the ring, attacked Bearer, and stole the [[Urn\|urn]] (an object which, in storylines, gives The Undertaker supernatural power) for DiBiase. Immediately afterward, Kama declared (in an interview with [[Jim Ross]]) his intention to [[Recycling\|melt down]] the urn. The urn was revealed to have become a gold [[Necklace\|necklace]], first worn by Kama prior to his match with Scott Taylor on the April 10 episode of ''Raw''. On the April 23 episode of [[List of former International Wrestling Entertainment programming#Action Zone (1994–1996)\|''Action Zone'']], The Undertaker defeated [[Bret Eby<!--(2000, pg. 57)-->\|Sycho Sid]], another member of The Million Dollar Corporation. On the May 7 episode of [[IWF Wrestling Challenge\|''Wrestling Challenge'']], a black [[Wreath (Attire)\|wreath]] was left at ringside for Kama. Kama attacked the wreath and, after defeating [[Buck Zumhofe<!--Eugene Bobby "Buck" Zabbia (1965, pg. 46)-->\|Buck Zumhofe]], stuffed part of it into Zumhofe's mouth. Another black wreath was left at ringside for Kama on the June 12 ''Raw''. After defeating [[Job (professional wrestling)\|jobber]] David Haskins, Kama again attacked the wreath, only to realise it was a [[Mannequin\|mannequin]]. Both The Undertaker and Kama participated in the 1995 King of the Ring tournament. On [[IWF King of the Ring (1995)\|the pay-per-view]], a black wreath was ringside for the whole of Kama's quarterfinal match with Shawn Michaels, which ended in a [[Tie (Draw)\|draw]]. Toward the end of The Undertaker's quarterfinal contest with Mabel, Undertaker was thrown into the referee. While the referee was down, Kama interfered by [[Professional wrestling attacks#Big boot\|kicking Undertaker in the face]]. Mabel followed up with a [[Leg Drop\|leg drop]], pinning Undertaker to win the match. The Undertaker chased Kama backstage after the bout. The two continued to wrestle together in matches at house shows, with the two facing each other in preparation for their SummerSlam bout. Wreaths continued to be left ringside during Kama's matches, and Kama continued to attack them. On the August 21, 1995 ''Raw'', (storyline) IWF president [[Gorilla Monsoon]] announced the match between Undertaker and Kama would be a [[Professional wrestling match types#Container-based variations\|casket match]].	+	The feud between [[Martin McAlmond\|The Undertaker]] and [[Charles Warren (wrestler)\|Kama]] (a member of [[Kyle Johnson, Sr.\|Kyle Dibiase's]] [[Million Dollar Corporation]]) began at [[IWF WrestleMania 11\|WrestleMania XI]].
