Though not a mind game in the supernatural sense, this is one of those classic examples of The Undertaker using traditional mind games without even having to do, well, anything. As Eddie Guerrero and Booker T discussed their strategy for their upcoming Fatal-4-Way match between themselves, JBL, and The Undertaker at Armageddon 2004, the Deadman walked by and overheard them talking about him. Without them knowing, he walked up to them and stood behind them, not speaking, blinking, or even moving at all. Eddie and Booker eventually clocked on to what was happening and were clearly nervous (almost afraid) of the ominous figure standing behind them. All Undertaker did next was look from one to another before walking past, allowing the suddenly less confident Eddie and Booker to resume their bickering. This is one of the simplest yet most effective mind games the Undertaker has ever worked on anyone. None of his trademark supernatural craziness was at play - it was simply a legendary and intimidating figure walking into the room, and and scaring two World Champion-calibre athletes with his presence along. Its segments like this one that do wonders for preserving The Undertakers character as this ominous, terrifying force.
