::::::Undertaker ,unveiling The Ministry of Darkness, on Raw January 11, 1999 -Houston TX.

"They tried to destroy me....wishing I would just go away. But what is it-what have they really done? The simple minds of mortal men, they sent me back to the place that is my origin. Destroy me? The more they try, the more powerful I become. And now I've risen from my unearthly grave, and I will slay the ones I once saved. The reckoning is upon us-the day that the Ministry of Darkness seizes the land and destroys all that you hold dear, making play things of your heroes and devouring your innocence.

The Plague of Darkness is coming...an all-encompassing evil from which there is no escape, no mercy, no hope. It's called the future....and in the future I will look down upon thee, and I will decide whether you are an agent of darkness or just kindling for my fires. The power of darkness shall only be offered to a chosen few, and those who resist the temptations of my Ministry....pain becomes synonymous with punishment. Embrace the darkness, and relish in the unearthly delight pain has to offer. Resist and there are no limits to the pain you subject yourself to. Don't fight it...it will tear your soul apart. For I am the reaper of men, the changer of souls, the weaver of nightmares...and I am the heart of darkness. Am I now and ever will be the purity of evil. The hell you were threatened with is no longer an option. It is a reality...a living breathing reality, and you are all right in the middle of it. Yes, hell has relocated to earth."
