Imagine waking up. It's pitch black. Difficult to breathe. You try to set up, but you can't.

You try moving your arms, but there's no place for them to go. You try to scream, the sound is dull. Nobody can hear you.

Because you're buried six feet underground and you're not yet dead. Don't panic, that'll just make it worse.

Today we discuss stories of being buried alive. I'm Mike, I'm Ian.

And I'm Dave. If you thought being strangled by Bundy or eaten by Dhammer were the most horrific ways to go, stick around.

Tonight's stories might be the most terrifying of them all. This is Necronomopod.

To this very day and always. Words of remorse from 59 year old Nancy Rich on the same day she learned she really will be getting out of prison this year instead of dying behind bars.

My most sincere and deepest apology. The most regrettable mistake of my life.

Rich has been locked up since being convicted of the 1987 kidnapping and murder of Cancassie businessman Steven Small. I'm certain it was expected.

The sentence would be stiff. Danny Edwards, Rich's boyfriend at the time now faces a life sentence for learning small to a house he was renovating, putting him in a six by three plywood box and burying him alive for ransom money.

I'm going to start off by saying that I think it's fantastic that we're finally doing an episode on WWE's five buried alive matches.

It's long overdue in my opinion. I've been pushing this for three and a half years. It's fine. We're doing it.

I'm glad we got to it. Yeah, I think it'll be fun and very informative for everybody. Maybe the most absurd of all gimmick matches.

A WWE buried alive match. Maybe we'll cover this on Patreon one day. It's essentially where they build a makeshift grave. Big pile of dirt up there. Big pile of dirt.

And you have to literally put your opponent in it and then cover them with dirt and you win the match.

Yet it's not considered a death match. You are killing someone and it's not considered a death match. Dave, could you do that?

No, I almost had a panic attack listening to your opening line about this story.

So who were the buried alive matches? I can only think of one of the top men.

So they all feature the undertaker. The first one is the most famous with mankind. That's what I'm thinking of.

October of 96 in your house paper, Veil. Then there was one in December of 98 against Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Okay, I remember that. And then there was one. This one was on Smackdown. It was the undertaker and big show versus the Rock and Sot connection in September of 99.

The Rock and Sot connection being Duane, the Rock Johnson and mankind. Vince McMahon versus the Undertaker at Survivor Series 2003.
