Undertaker remembers bar fights & backstage brawls | Shawn Michaels, JBL & more!
The Big Show vs. The Great Khali backstage fight
Show flushed him. It sounded like taking a big old rib eye steak and throwing it on the counter. It was like—and he rocked. I don't know if something held him up. The locker, remember? But if I'd have hit him that way, I would have had to look and see what was holding him up from behind because Show rocked him.
Regal came in there like a spider monkey. In a towel, I think. He had Khali fish hooked and had Khali's head ripped around the thing. It was impressive.
Eddie Guerrero and Kurt Angle backstage altercation
Eddie [Guerrero] threw a punch at Kurt [Angle], which Kurt was like, 'Do you know I'm an Olympic champion?' Eddie said, 'Because I'm stupid.' It was like it was written, like a written skit. It was the best I ever saw.
Ron Simmons backstage stories
Ron [Simmons] grabs a beer bottle off the table. He cuts a promo—to this day, the greatest promo I've ever heard in my life. And he ends it with, 'I'm going to hit the first white mother that moves.' And I thought, 'I'm the only white mother.' Ron looks around and he goes, 'Not you.'
Backstage brawls and locker room unity
I snatched the one guy, I kind of boot the other guy which stops him, which now everybody just—that commotion alone—like they were the boys, like it came in like vultures. It would come in from every direction.
Attitude Era backstage stories
We want a police escort down to Bourbon Street tonight. The sergeant looked at me and goes, 'Are you serious?' I go, 'You can have all the pictures you want, you can have all the autographs you want, I want to drive down to Bourbon Street.'
Backstage ribbing culture
It always bothered me when you guys would do that kind of stuff [poking the bear]. I thought it was terrible that people would stir people up like that. You get a bad rep. I don't know why, it was horrible.
Wrestling locker room brotherhood
There were times that guys would stab themselves in the back, but don't let anybody from the outside come in. That was a really, really cool moment. That was like a movie scene.
Danny Hodge's legendary grip strength
Danny Hodge had like double ligaments. Like he could take a pair of pliers and squeeze and break them. Snap them. He could take a steel-belted tire and squeeze it. Hodge was legendary, and boy, he got me.
Dream bar fight team
Haku, Mark, Show, Brock, and Dirty Dick Slater. That's a line. I've got offense and defense, and I've got people that ain't going to get hurt.
