10 Wrestling Interviews That Went Very Wrong

2. Undertaker And Vader Destroy A TV Set

Genuinely struggle to think of a situation I'd want to be in less than trapped in a daintily decorated television set in Kuwait, with plain-clothes-but-yet-still-mask Vader grabbing me by the tie, breathing into my eyes, and the only person who could possibly step in and help me is Booger Red Undertaker... who, coincidentally, I've also just annoyed with a bad question.

This is the sort of self-preservation standards you'd expect pretty much everyone to have, but weirdly it wasn't one possessed by Bassam Al Othman, the host of Good Morning Kuwait. The big idiot.

It's a great two-parter this, as he ruins his interview straight off the bat by dropping the old "hey so, wrestling's fake yeah?" question. The Undertaker though, at the time WWF Champion, at least tries to answer it as best he can by putting over the actual athleticism involved as well as the theatrical nature. Vader though... haha oh god... Vader though.

Interrupting Al Othman as he desperately tries to move the conversation on, he asks if he might also be afforded a moment to answer the question. Calmly, rationally, he flips the table over and threatens to beat him to a bloody pulp. Vader though.
