10 Times WWE Stars Went Viral For Totally STUPID Reasons

It takes a lot for The Undertaker to break character.

Part of the Deadman's aura is how expressionless he is. From his slow walk to the ring, to his lethargic moveset, to his celebration at the end of a match, everything is choreographed to give his character an otherworldly feel.

That makes it all the more jarring when he does something different. Remember when he ran to the ring at Elimination Chamber 2010 to escape being burned by his pyro? Thankfully, he went viral for something that wasn't as life-threatening, but was still as surreal to see.

'Taker had been feuding with Brock Lesnar since before WrestleMania XXX, where The Streak came to an abrupt end. The rematch took place at SummerSlam 2015 and was a much better contest. Sure, the ending was a letdown, but that's not what people talk about when this match comes up in conversation.

With both wrestlers on the mat, Lesnar rose up first and laughed at The Undertaker. Just after that, 'Taker sat up himself and laughed back. The big chuckle he let out was like a parody, an over-the-top caricature that wasn't like anything we'd seen from the Deadman before.

It's no wonder this moment went viral.

The GIF is still one of WWE's most used, having been shared million of times by both WWE fans and people who've never seen wrestling before. 'Taker has said that he was trying to do an evil and sarcastic laugh, but whatever was happening in the ring, it's a clip that will continue to pop up on social media for years to come.

When I'm not trying my hardest to visit all 50 U.S. states, I'm listening to music from the 80s, watching TV from the 90s, and reminiscing about growing up in the 00s. I'm currently living in Melbourne, Australia so WWE premium live events are on Sunday afternoons for me; the absolute dream.
