10 Wild Confessions From Huge Wrestling Stars
10. The Undertaker Confesses His Love Live At The Slammy Awards
The Undertaker was all about protecting his pro wrestling persona, which he rarely if ever broke.
Of course, that has to be written in the past tense these days because he thought admitting to being old and terrible for the last however many years of his career made for a compelling, critically-acclaimed Netflix-style documentary series. Imagine if The Last Dance focused for some inexplicable reason on Michael Jordan's middling run with the Washington Wizards, and you're close to grasping the bizarre The Last Ride docu-series on the WWE Network. The difference being, of course, that, statistically, Jordan's Wizards run wasn't a disaster. But did you know that 'Taker broke character years and years before hilariously gunning for an Emmy?
At the 1996 Slammy Awards, the Undertaker sent a coded message to his wife at the time. "JLC," he said, "You are always on my mind".
JLC = Jodi Lynn Callaway.
So why did he say this?
Was 'Taker apologising for a bit of on-the-road how's-your-father?
Or was he just being a big old soppy b*llocks and telling his missus that he adored her in between working the Executioner or something?
