It was shocked looks all round when The Undertaker beat Hulk Hogan to win the WWF Title at Survivor Series 1991, but the real drama came backstage. There, Hulk claimed 'Taker's Tombstone Piledriver jammed up his neck because he landed on his head.

‘Taker saw the clip back and realised Hogan's head came nowhere near the canvas. In other words, and you might want to sit down before reading this next bit - ol' Hulk was talking nonsense. That didn't sit well with 'The Deadman' at all - ‘Taker told ESPN in 2020 that he viewed Hogan differently after that.

The comparative rookie knew insinuations that he'd injured the golden goose could’ve knackered The Undertaker’s career before it properly got started. Watch 1991's title match back today and you'll see that Hogan was definitely telling porkies that night. Christ knows why, or what he planned to gain from it.

'Taker was having none of his red and yellow nonsense anyway.
