10 Rare Times The Undertaker Broke Character In WWE
5. Paying Tribute To Ric Flair
The Undertaker isn't known for being an emotional man. That right there is the reason that he's considered one of the all-time great characters - he didn't show emotion... ever. That, however, wasn't enough to prevent him from showing up at Ric Flair's retirement celebration on Raw in 2008 and paying tribute to the 16-time World Champion.
Arriving with his traditional entrance (albeit without the blue light), 'Taker removed his hat and coat and immediately embraced Flair. He then put distance between them and did his signature pose on one knee, bowing to the legend before him in the ultimate act of respect. He then got up and gave him a much warmer and longer-lasting embrace.
A beautiful moment that allowed both Mark Calaway and the character of The Undertaker to pay tribute to Flair, it was a moment in time that the WWE Universe will never forget.
