If you haven't checked it out yet, then do yourself a favour and watch The Undertaker's appearance on Steve Austin's 'Broken Skull Sessions'. It's one of the best and most charming interviews of this generation, and it's memorable for all the wacky stories 'Taker had to tell out of character.

Think of this as a bonus accompaniment to the afore-linked article.

On the Network show, Austin and 'Taker talked about working in a massive, pretty-much-empty stadium in Kuwait during the WWF's 1997 international tour. The Undertaker has always been proud of maintaining his character in awkward social situations (something he actively avoided over the years), but Austin got him in good that time.

When 'Taker made his standard entrance and flicked his hair back, Austin hit the giggles and wouldn't stop laughing. That, so says the 'Deadman', forced 'Taker to flick the hair back over his face so people wouldn't see him laughing. Good times were had by all, and the hijinks continued throughout the match.
