The Undertaker: 10 Awesome Backstage Stories

2. Privilege Stripping

Mark Henry - a well-documented aficionado - was once asked why wrestlers seem to have an affinity towards strip clubs. He replied that they are everywhere around America, no one hassles you as anonymity is assumed, they are open all night and often have a spread of protein-heavy food like chicken wings. He neglected to mention the whole naked lady aspect (that's just an unofficial bonus.)

During the pre-PG era, it was pretty common for wrestlers to frequent houses of undress, and two of the most common customers were Kevin Nash and Undertaker. As Nash tells it, Vince made a company-wide proclamation stating that talent should stop frequenting the establishments, in the interests of keeping the company ostensibly family-friendly.

Diesel, being the cool rebel he was, rebelled and decided to partake in a brief trip to his local strip club, or at least the one closest to him at the time. When Nash arrived, he saw none other than the Undertaker already tucking into a few drinks in a dark corner, trying to stay incognito.

Well, about as incognito as a 6' 10” man could be.
