The Undertaker: 10 Awesome Backstage Stories

7. Gentle Pecking For Jericho

It would seem that the Deadman's threatening manner did little to dissuade Jericho from 'Taker's awesomeness. Awesomeness so potent that Chris Jericho just had to get a kiss from the Undertaker (as odd as that sentence is to read, it is so much more odd to write.)

Jericho has nothing but good things to say about 'Taker, going so far as to at one point refer to him as the Fonz of WWE. And much like Arthur Fonzarelli, Undertaker has some sort of inherent magnetism that Jericho found irresistible. Over the course of three hours in a Tokyo bar (with plenty of alcohol, one assumes) Jericho pleaded with Taker to allow him a kiss on the lips.

One can really applaud Jericho for at least trying for a consensual peck rather than going for it (but it's 'Taker, would you risk doing anything he hadn't explicitly agreed to?).

'Taker eventually acquiesced to the request under the condition the kiss would only be on the cheek.
