The Undertaker really hated that American flag jacket he was asked to wear for WWE's Survivor Series 1993 pay-per-view.

WWE's iconic 'Deadman' told The Bump that he was "livid" when the promotion presented that outfit to him during the build towards the show, and that he was even more incensed by Vince McMahon's insistence that he wear it proudly live on air.

Vince loved the thing, especially because (according to 'Taker) it had "the Betsy Ross 13-colony" pattern on the inside lining. That, the WWE boss argued, would be a fine way for the character to show patriotic support in his fight against the "Foreign Fanatics" squad of Yokozuna, Crush, Quebecer Jacques and Ludvig Borga; The Undertaker teamed with Lex Luger and The Steiner Brothers, as "The All-Americans", for the PPV headliner.

'Taker admitted that he kept repeating the same thing over and over, both to himself and to anybody backstage who would listen: "This is not what The Undertaker does". He felt like he was betraying his beloved gimmick by donning something so goofy.

Famously, Bruce Prichard has also revealed on his own pod that The Undertaker later told WWE chiefs his dog ate the jacket. Amazing.
