One of The Undertaker's most defining characteristics is his refusal, until very recently, to ever break character. He loves to preserve the mystique of who he is as a person, which naturally invited many of his colleagues to make every effort possible to have him "expose the business" on air.

Reportedly the likes of Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Stone Cold, and even Vince McMahon have tried to make 'Taker crack up on live TV over the years, none of whom have ever successfully made it happen in a major way.

But in a recent interview, Triple H confirmed one of the happiest accidents the industry has ever seen. One night during a match, The Rock tried his damnedest to make 'Taker break, coming up with the most ridiculous wrestling move he could possibly think of: The People's Elbow.

That's right - one of the most iconic and beloved moves in wrestling history was created solely to make 'Taker laugh. But again, no dice.
