10 Random Acts Of Wrestling Violence You Totally Forgot About
8. Deadman Talking
If you're reading this it's highly likely that you've watched a WWE documentary before, and just about any period of the company's history stands the chance of featuring healthy doses of industry leaders and losers alike putting over The Undertaker and the unanimous respect he commanded.
And with good cause. 'The Deadman' was a survivor of the dark days as much as was a profiteer of the golden era he caught the back of and the Attitude-infused boom he finally benefitted from. Few evolved like him, and in the relentless world of pro wrestling he was always seen as something of an outlier as a result. Unanimously respected and without question to multiple generations of those that passed through the WWE locker rooms, he was simply beyond compare or criticism.
Even when he f*cking hammered people with weapons.
More on one of his more absurd assaults later, but the shot timestamped in the video above (with "best" as something of a misnomer, in your terrified writer's opinion) finds him walloping Mr Kennedy with a deathblow of a chair shot midway through a nothing match at the nothing pay-per-view Armageddon 2006. The pair's "Last Ride" match wasn't even concluded by the move - something at least modern era wrestling would almost certainly only insert as a finish.
