10 Horrendous Promos Awesome Wrestlers Want You To Forget
10. The Undertaker Talks A Load Of Complete Sh*te
[The following content features paid promotion for 1 deadMan show]
[Just kidding; Steve Austin in 1998 couldn't convince you to spend a few hours listening all about that time that the Undertaker played dominos with the Godfather after making a terrified young woman burst into tears during Wrestler's Court]
The Undertaker was never a great promo because he didn't need to be a great promo; he conveyed fear and intimidation through his body language alone, so it's not as if a terrible interview is likely to make fans think less of him. He got over as the best big match wrestler of the 2000s after his immortally dire "I don't sleep" tale of taking the Big Show into the desert.
Still, while he doesn't need to sell you on a match these days, he does need to convince you that you should pay money to watch him speak in public - which his Raw 25 promo makes rather difficult.
Because it was a droning load of total nonsense.
Saying absolutely nothing of note beyond "I beat a lot of known wrestlers", he said, addressing Steve Austin and Mick Foley, that now is the time for you to truly rest in peace".
Despite using the second person, some fans, under the belief that he had to be saying something, interpreted it as a cryptic retirement speech.
This wasn't the case; he simply had nothing to say.
