One of The Undertaker's best friends was supposed Japanese sumo kingpin Yokozuna. Both were part of the Kliq-opposing 'Bone Street Krew' backstage in the mid-90s, and it wasn't uncommon for both to hang out or party on the road.

'Taker recalls being in Kuwait and locking himself in a hotel room with the BSK to play some cards. The group couldn't procure any alcohol to liven things up, so they were going a little "stir crazy". To lighten the mood, 'The Deadman' decided to start flicking lit matches at his friends.

Who needs enemies?

One match landed on Yoko's head and set his hair on fire. According to 'Taker, the big man took it in good humour and laughed the incident off. The documentary then hints that a series sequel will reveal what revenge Yokozuna took on his mate afterwards.
