10 Things We Learned From Something Else To Wrestle With On Biker Undertaker

3. Big Show's Size Helped Facilitate His MMA Nuances

The Undertaker's ability to tweak his in-ring style over the years has kept him fresh. In 1996, during a feud with Mankind, he started to speed up a little. That decision to do away with the painstakingly slow style he'd worked for years reinvented his work. The same thing happened in 2003.

To Bruce, it was pretty much happenstance.

After taking some time off to heal a broken hand in late-2002, 'Taker returned at the 2003 Royal Rumble and then restarted his feud with Big Show in time for February's No Way Out. During discussions backstage on how the pair would finish their match, it suddenly became clear that The Undertaker's usual Last Ride Powerbomb move was too risky on someone Show's size.

'Taker, who was a huge fan of MMA for years before adapting his style to suit some of the sport's nuances, suggested using a triangle choke hold (the one that would become known as Hell's Gate) on Show. Everyone liked the idea, and it enabled The Undertaker to evolve again and show off his love of martial arts.
