10 Risks That Could’ve KILLED WWE Careers
1. The Undertaker Goes Biker
Older wrestling fans are still digesting the fact The f'n Undertaker is a YouTuber in 2024. Not many predicted that one, but 'Taker is having a quite smashing time lifting the lid on his iconic career and biggest moments. Via his channel, 'The Deadman' revealed just how much pressure he was under backstage at Judgment Day 2000.
A lot of his peers thought ditching the supernatural vibes of the character and turning into a tough guy biker was a massive mistake. 'Taker was about to re-debut as a more realistic version of his beloved gimmick, and his stomach was churning before riding that motorcycle to the ring during a main event 'Iron Man' classic between Triple H and The Rock.
What if this...wasn't what WWF fans wanted to see?
Had people rejected the 'American Badass' idea, then Undertaker would've had to disappear all over again and revert to type. He didn't want to do that, but nobody behind the curtain was filling him full of confidence that switching things up was the right course of action.
They were wrong. Dead(man) wrong.
