10 Genuinely Extreme WWE Moments From Before The PG Era
9. The Undertaker Makes Rikishis A** Famous!
As the 1990s turned into the 2000s, fans looked around and saw many new faces. One of the old dogs however, still had plans to show any young buck on the block whose yard it truly was. The Undertaker by this time had shed his deadman gimmick, in exchange for something that was more fitting to his personality. In becoming this ruthless butt kicking biker, Undertaker was afforded more promo time than he ever had. He would often speak about this ring being his yard and if anyone entered that yard he would make them famous. We didnt exactly know what that meant when he said it, but soon Rikishi would find out. In the 6 Man Hell in a Cell match at Armageddon 2000, Kurt Angle defended his WWE Championship against The Undertaker, Stone Cold Steve Austin, HHH, The Rock and Rikishi. With all those participants, it would be easy to let the match be carried on star power alone. Undertaker upped the ante by choke slamming Rikishi from the top of the cell, on a bed of hay lying in the back of a pickup truck. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziiPYMNL0VQ Everyone in the match kind of paused, and looked to see if Rikishi was still alive. He was alive alright. Alive and famous.
