10 Things We Learned From The Undertaker On Ryan Satin’s Podcast
6. Yokozuna Avenged Lost Card Games
Behind the curtain though, The Undertaker was different. He enjoyed playing cards with friends, and he especially loved taking money out of Yokozuna's pockets whenever they sat down to gamble. Sometimes, this caught up with 'Taker on the backend when they worked together in the ring later on.
"It'd be a long night" for the 'Deadman' if he beat Yoko one too many times at the table. The big man didn't take kindly to losing cold hard cash, and he'd put a little bit extra behind punches or his feared Banzai Drop if he'd been losing on the cards.
The Undertaker's solution? Speed up his ring work for a night or two so that his mate would get blown up trying to catch him. Sure, this flew in the face of his 'zombie' style presentation, but it was the best way to avoid a pasting at the hands of one ticked off Samoan on house shows.
What a story.
