The Undertaker has done the exact same thing every time he's worked Madison Square Garden.

After leaving his dressing room and making the long walk down that infamous hallway towards Gorilla for his entrance, 'Taker has stopped to stare at two framed photographs in particular - one of Elvis Presley and one of Muhammad Ali. Both help put things into perspective, and keep him hungry.

Now, the guy can look forward to seeing a framed pic of him dropping a leg on Kane at WrestleMania XX beneath the Elvis snap. That's still mind-blowing to 'Taker, but he admits that some might find his career-long ritual a little hokey. Don't worry, 'Deadman'. It' doubtful anyone does.
