10 Times The Undertaker's Ego Ran Wild In WWE
3. Ugly Stuff
SmackDown, circa 2003. Undertaker is trapped between two minds; the worst of BikerTaker and his resurrection as the Dead Man. This stunningly despicable angle represented one Last Ride on his stupid bloody motorbike. He didn't write it, clearly, but he clearly loved performing it.
The Big Show, ahead of Valentine's Day, left the Undertaker a present in the middle of the ring, which Paul Heyman, 'Taker's other nemesis, was all too happy to deliver. Inside the box was the closeted Kanyon, whose homosexuality was an open secret in the industry. Though dubbed on the Network stream in 2018 - probably due to royalty issues, more so than good taste - Kanyon emerged singing Culture Club's 'Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?', because the singer of that band was also gay. He was dressed in full Boy George garb, just in case the subtext was too subtle. 'Taker, a big old Texan, was unimpressed - so much so that he attempted to cave Kanyon's f*cking skull in. That is only slightly hyperbolic; those chair shots he delivered so unashamedly were disgusting.
Given the recipient of those chair shots was hardly engaged in a blood feud requiring the big sell, one can only wince at both the shots themselves and the ugly motivation behind them.
