To save him from that fate, right before it, Lance Storm pulled Taker aside and asked him to dive on Bill DeMott. He was the only one who would actually take the impact and save Taker from hitting the cold, hard floor!
Even though they were from rival promotions, and WCW & ECW men had to find their place within WWE, The Phenom heard the advice. He jumped on DeMott, and the man took the impact.
Taker trusted me. He did his big dive, bodies went everywhere and when he landed, Bill DeMott was between him and the concrete.” 1 guy you trust is better than a group that doesn’t really want to be underneath you.
