10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About The Undertaker

7. His Motorcycle Attack On Hulk Hogan

Hulk Hogan and The Undertaker are two of the most legendary wrestlers to ever step inside of the ring, but they didn’t work well together. At all.

We first saw them do battle in 1991. Hogan was still on top of the wrestling world, and The Undertaker was only a short way into his legendary run. Afterwards, they went their separate ways, not to lock up again until 2002, when Hogan was again inexplicably conquering the wrestling world. Their match at Judgment Day absolutely stunk, but the build up to it was even worse.

Hogan stole Taker’s beloved motorcycle one night on Raw, and drove it to the ring. He clearly had a death wish. But then he turned the tables, and was supposed to chase The Dead Man away when he came out to get his property, but Hulkster couldn’t get the thing moving. Taker had to stand there like an idiot, feigning fear that Hogan would eventually figure out how to start a motorcycle. He couldn't just give up and chase him on foot, as the bike was needed for a backstage segment to get run over by a semi. Lucky for Hogan, he figured out how to start that one.

To get back at his elderly opponent, Taker later attacked Hogan, who looked absolutely ridiculous in his black helmet and leather jacket. It was the safest way to drive, but he still looked like a giant goof. Taker ended up dragging him behind his motorcycle, which was still inside of an arena, so...they went like 10 miles an hour max. The big payoff saw Hogan gently roll himself into a bunch of cardboard boxes. Damn it Hogan, those boxes had a family!

For it's high camp factor, this feud isn't likely to show up on any "best of" retrospectives for Undertaker.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
