The Undertaker's 10 Most Incredibly Cheesy WWE Moments
3. Giant Gonzalez Uses Chloroform
To kick off the top three, lets go to a much earlier WrestleMania for a rather infamous moment. Forget Undertaker riding to the ring with a vulture. This is all about Giant Gonzalez ending a horrific WrestleMania IX match by using a chloroform-soaked rag to knock out The Undertaker. Its every bad suspense thriller youve ever seen: The bad guy uses chloroform to render the victim (usually the girl) unconscious and abducts her. Its a simple plot device to allow the villain to knock out a girl without using outright violence against her. But in a wrestling match? In this wrestling match? It was bad comedy, not a suspense thriller. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMj4s3p3AwE Hearing the announcers try to describe the smell of chloroform to sell the seriousness of the situation made it even worse. A guy in a bodysuit airbrushed with muscles and fur is using chloroform to knock out a mystic man whos already dead! My God, I can smell the chemicals from here!
