Remember that time the Undertaker took Big Show out to the desert on a hog and put him through a series of trials?

Show only had enough gas to make the journey; to make it back, he'd have to skin 'Taker alive. Good luck with that: 'Taker doesn't sleep, and he's very hard. But Show proved himself in Death Valley. He killed a snake and walked back with the Harley over his shoulder. If dril booked a pro wrestling storyline, it wouldn't be as dumb as that one.

Even the biggest Undertaker fans know it to be an idiotic and tedious promo, except one, who thought it was a capital enough idea to drive the big push of Roman Reigns: face of the entire company.

As recounted on WrestlingForum.com, one aspiring booker thought that the Undertaker should mentor Roman Reigns. Hey, that's not too bad an idea. After all, the Graveyard Dogs were an awesome one-off tag team.

This person however wanted 'Taker to mentor Reigns by making him live alongside him in the mountains.

Picture that!

Reigns, with a long, scraggly beard, not selling tickets to live wrestling shows, being Taker's young boy as he makes him BBQ, fuels his cycle and ensures that there are sufficient bullets for his collection of assault rifles. A timid Roman plucking up the courage to ask what the secrets to success are. 'Taker, grunting, spitting out chewing tobacco, saying "Well, here's Mick Foley's phone number. That's how I stayed over".

Perfection.

No notes.
