10 Wrestlers That Told You They Were Pissed

5. The Undertaker

Undertaker Big Show
WWE

Gone was all majesty and magic of The Undertaker during an infamously terrible promo cut on the August 17th 1999 edition of Monday Night Raw.

Going long when the message was simply to issue a threat to X-Pac and Kane about how dangerous he and partner The Big Show were, the daft b*stard rambled on for an eternity about stabbing snakes and eating flesh whilst out riding bikes in Death Valley.

It was self-indulgent nonsense WWE newcomer Chris Jericho had had enough. It didn't matter how much The Undertaker was an industry icon and locker room leader by then. 'The Deadman' had this one coming.

Tearing into the pair of them, 'Y2J' referred to them both as "boring" and "morons" in a blistering tirade that ironically only could have worked here on a show that was otherwise white hot. Atypically flustered, Undertaker regained his composure just enough to note that he had more "shower time" than Jericho had "ring time" at that point before bringing the ludicrous back-and-forth to a close.

Jericho later revealed how much heat he'd garnered from the segment after the fact, but was it really on him for cutting too close to the bone? Based on 'Taker's bullsh*t beforehand, you'd think he'd like that.
