The Undertaker: 10 Awesome Backstage Stories
8. Gentle Encouragement To Jericho
It really should go without saying: but don't throw things at wrestlers.
Hell, don't
throw things at people in general, especially batteries. It takes a
special kind of A-hole to think that what a live performance, sport
event or saucy puppet show needs is someone getting pelted with a
double-A.
Chris Jericho was once the victim of a battery-ing during a live event in San Francisco. He was in the midst of a great rivalry with Shawn Michaels, doing a pretty good job at getting the hate - so much so that he was hit in the head with a D battery.
So Jericho had a
tantrum and stormed off backstage (pretty understandable). He walked
straight up to the head of security and ripped him a new one,
proclaiming that he would not be going back to the ring. According to
Jericho himself, this is when he noticed the Undertaker, who very calmly
asked “You're not going back out there, huh? You sure that's the
best idea?”
Needless to say, Jericho went straight back to the ring, proving that Undertaker > Batteries.
