1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:26,940
You're in my yard, and I'm the big dog that runs that yard.
2
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:38,000
I'm the dead man, and if you try me, I'll make you famous.
3
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,000
Dead man walking.
4
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:22,000
I left school, and I only needed, what, maybe 12 hours for my degree.
5
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:29,000
I left a full-ride scholarship to pursue this dream of wrestling.
6
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:38,000
From Kent Valley, winning 358 pounds, the Undertaker!
7
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,000
Started back in late 86.
8
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,000
I was working out at a health club in Dallas.
9
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,000
I was actually getting ready to go overseas and play pro basketball in Europe.
10
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:53,000
There was a guy that worked at the health club there that was trying to get somebody to go through a wrestling camp with him.
11
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,000
Every day, he was on me.
12
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,000
You know, man, come on, let's do this thing.
13
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,000
And I said, look, man, I'm getting ready to go play pro ball.
14
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,000
You know, I got it made.
15
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,000
You know, so I thought, one day, it just didn't sound like such a bad idea anymore.
16
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:19,000
619 pounds, Mr. Theodore R. Long presents from Metropolis, Dangerous Dan Spivey and Mean Markellis, the new Skyscraper!
17
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:32,000
First time I saw him, I was working in Atlanta for Turner in the early days of WCW in the late 80s.
18
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:39,000
And here he had a guy that was young, 6'9", 6'10", around 300 pounds, that was extremely athletic.
19
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,000
I thought, man, this guy is a phenomenon.
20
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:48,000
He's young, he's just huge, and he doesn't move around like a Clydesdale.
21
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,000
He moves around like a real athlete.
22
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,000
WCW, I got a call.
23
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,000
I was down in Memphis, in the Tennessee area.
24
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,000
Big Sid Vicious was tag team partner with Dan Spivey.
25
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,000
They were the skyscrapers down there.
26
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,000
I guess Sid had got hurt in the ring, broke a rib, punctured a lung, whatever.
27
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,000
And someone told him, hey, there's this kid down in Tennessee.
28
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,000
He's about 6'8", 6'9".
29
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,000
He'd be a good partner for Spivey.
30
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,000
So I got the call, and, you know, everything was looking real good.
31
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,000
Danny and I, we really hit it off well together.
32
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,000
We complimented each other's styles at the time.
33
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,000
Things were looking really good for us.
34
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,000
We were working with the road warriors.
35
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,000
We were gearing up for a Chicago street fight at the pay-per-view for them.
36
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,000
I don't know, Danny felt like everybody was trying to be really,
37
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,000
they were making bad business decisions for us.
38
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Danny just one day up and left.
39
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,000
I'd already realized what kind of organization it was.
40
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,000
Our first meeting was in Indianapolis.
41
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:53,000
And he walked into the room, and this guy was just a monster.
42
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,000
And just, he had such a presence to him.
43
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:02,000
And the fact that he wasn't already on top of WCW scared me.
44
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:08,000
It just come to the point one day where I said, look, this ain't working out.
45
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:14,000
You know, they told me that I would never make, I would never amount to anything in this business.
46
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:22,000
That I was a good athlete, but I would never be able, no one would ever buy a ticket to see me wrestle.
47
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,000
By this time, I was trying to get an appointment with Vince.
48
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:31,000
And, you know, trying to get into him was like trying to get in to see the Pope, I guess.
49
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,000
So I actually left the WCW without a job.
50
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:40,000
Fortunately, I met with Vince and his staff.
51
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:45,000
And after the meeting, Vince told me at the time, he says, well, he says,
52
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,000
right now, we don't have anything for you.
53
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,000
And I was like, whoa.
54
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,000
So I was contemplating what I was going to do.
55
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:56,000
And I was sitting at home one day and the phone rang.
56
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,000
So I pick up the phone, you know, hello.
57
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,000
Is this The Undertaker?
58
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,000
I was like, what the hell is this?
59
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:11,000
I will introduce to you now my mystery partner, led to the ring by his manager,
60
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:18,000
Brother Love, weighing in at 320 pounds from Death Valley.
61
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,000
I give you The Undertaker.
62
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,000
The Undertaker, the mystery partner is now revealed.
63
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,000
I never heard of him.
64
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,000
Oh, take a look.
65
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Holy cow.
66
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:34,000
Look at the size of that ham hock.
67
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,000
Check out them drumsticks, baby.
68
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:43,000
320 pounds looks to be 6'9", 6'10", some of that neighborhood, Rod.
69
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,000
6'10"?
70
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,000
I don't know.
71
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,000
It's hard to tell from here.
72
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,000
Holy cow.
73
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Look at the look on the face.
74
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,000
I don't know.
75
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,000
Do you think it's his cocky?
76
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,000
It doesn't look like he's having a good time.
77
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,000
Do you think he'd steal the gold out of your team?
78
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,000
It was overwhelming.
79
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:16,000
There was such a huge buildup to who the mystery partner was for Ted Diabiasi's Survivor Series
80
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,000
team.
81
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,000
Nobody ever seen me.
82
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,000
No one ever heard the name Undertaker.
83
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:24,000
When Undertaker first started, his presence and his look was really magic.
84
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,000
We've never had anything like this in the WWF before.
85
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:32,000
The Undertaker came in as a rookie and debuted at the Survivor Series in 1990.
86
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,000
And there was something about him, the spark that he generated.
87
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:39,000
The music came out, which was that old organ, like a funeral dirge song.
88
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,000
And it was like, it really captured everybody's imagination and attention.
89
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:48,000
The whole presentation of the character was very unique and very extraordinary.
90
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,000
The music treatment was very moving and gripping.
91
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:57,000
The lighting treatments in the early going were very novel, very revolutionary in the business.
92
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,000
Vince had a vision.
93
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:05,000
He always liked the old Western Undertaker with the long coat and the hat.
94
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,000
He thought I fit the bill.
95
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:10,000
Vince McMahon takes a guy like that, gives him a character, gives him something to go behind.
96
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:15,000
And all of a sudden, it turns into a mind-boggling success.
97
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:20,000
I learned a lot from mistakes.
98
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:25,000
Actually, I learned quite a bit from Jake Roberts, good and bad.
99
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:32,000
Jake was probably, in my opinion, had one of the best wrestling minds as far as psychology
100
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,000
and how to present his character to the audience.
101
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:40,000
From the time Jake hit that arena until the time he left, man, he was Jake the Snake.
102
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:46,000
I also watched his brilliance in the ring and applied it to what The Undertaker was going to be about.
103
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:56,000
So, here I am, you know, just about a year into my career with the World Wrestling Federation
104
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,000
and I find myself going up against Hulk Hogan.
105
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:04,000
The slam by the Hulkster.
106
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,000
What business does he have down there?
107
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,000
Well, you better talk to Mr. Perfect about that or talk to Ric Flair.
108
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,000
I don't know.
109
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,000
I mean it, I really don't know.
110
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:24,000
Hulkster finally says, what are you doing down here?
111
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,000
It unloads on Ric Flair.
112
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,000
Why would he go touch Flair?
113
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,000
Flair never touched the ring, he never got involved in the match.
114
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,000
What business does Flair have down there?
115
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,000
I don't know, but he doesn't deserve to be struck.
116
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,000
And a big boot by the Hulkster.
117
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:45,000
From the outside, it's Paul Bear grabbing the leg of the Hulkster.
118
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:50,000
Referee's lost control on this one.
119
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:56,000
Look at this, Flair with a chair, a steel chair.
120
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:01,000
He got pile dripped right into the steel chair.
121
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,000
Wait a minute.
122
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,000
One.
123
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,000
Come on.
124
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,000
Two.
125
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,000
Get out.
126
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,000
We got a new world champion.
127
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,000
Wrestling Federation champion.
128
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,000
Woo!
129
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,000
I told you so.
130
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,000
If I was a fan of the new world champion.
131
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:25,000
And new World Wrestling Federation champion,
132
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:29,000
The Undertaker.
133
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:39,000
Hulkamania is dead!
134
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,000
It is dead!
135
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,000
Long live The Undertaker!
136
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,000
At that time, Hulk Hogan was everything in wrestling.
137
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:51,000
And to his credit, he'll go down in history as one of the biggest icons in wrestling.
138
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,000
And I beat him.
139
00:09:52,000 --> 00:10:00,000
I think in the Hogan era, here in the WWF, anyone that defeated Hogan was denoted as a player.
140
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,000
The strangest thing about that was that night, it was in Joe Lewis in Detroit.
141
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:11,000
When we went out, although I was being portrayed as the antagonist, the heel, when I came out that night,
142
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:16,000
I think it was probably about 60-40 as far as the fans were, they were cheering for me.
143
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:23,000
And The Undertaker, Hogan saw a man larger than him, extremely athletic, very believable,
144
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:27,000
and a potential great opponent over the course of time.
145
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:31,000
And it was a good call because it gave him great notoriety in the early part of his career.
146
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:36,000
That was the beginning of, you know, people who were already getting with that character.
147
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:45,000
And I think it was kind of a start of a change in the times of that lollipop, goody-two-shoe, whole persona.
148
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,000
Actually, I thought it would come sooner than a year.
149
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,000
I thought it would be about six months.
150
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,000
And you had no choice but to put him against the champion, Hulk Hogan.
151
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,000
And from there, he just took off.
152
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:13,000
I remember the Inferno match he had with Kane and flying over the top rope with the flames just below him.
153
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,000
It just looked so insane.
154
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,000
And for his proportions, I have a tough time doing that.
155
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,000
He shouldn't be able to.
156
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,000
The thing that impressed me most about the Inferno match probably wasn't the heat.
157
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:27,000
It was the sight of seeing The Undertaker at 6'10 or 11 and 330 pounds waltzing over the top rope onto me.
158
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:32,000
And despite what happened in that match, that was still the most impressive thing to me.
159
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,000
You can't even begin to describe how hot that was.
160
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:42,000
And I was approached with, all right, what we're going to do is we're going to engulf all the ropes in flame,
161
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:47,000
and you two guys are going to wrestle in it until one of you catches the other one on fire.
162
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,000
I was like, wow, that sounds like a real good idea.
163
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,000
Yeah, anyway.
164
00:11:53,000 --> 00:12:00,000
Fire is a very non-discriminating weapon.
165
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:04,000
It burns whomever it touches, whether the good guy or the bad guy.
166
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:10,000
I think to say that they were a little uncomfortable would be an understatement.
167
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,000
There was like no air.
168
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,000
The fire was burning the air up.
169
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:20,000
You get two, three feet from the ropes, even on the inside, you could feel the heat.
170
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,000
Kane back up now with that steel chair.
171
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,000
Undertaker catches it on his hand.
172
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,000
Kane back in the fire.
173
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,000
Kane's on fire.
174
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,000
Kane is on fire.
175
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,000
Kane is on fire.
176
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,000
He's burning.
177
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,000
Put him out.
178
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,000
Put him out.
179
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,000
He's burning an undertaker.
180
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,000
Woo!
181
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:58,000
Once it was all said and done and I wasn't the one on fire, it was a pretty cool match.
182
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,000
I think it was challenging for him.
183
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:04,000
Probably as challenging as anything, maybe even more challenging than Hell in a Cell.
184
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,000
Michael's going up now.
185
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,000
And...
186
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,000
Oh!
187
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,000
On the top of the steps.
188
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,000
He's running!
189
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,000
Oh my God!
190
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,000
Oh my God!
191
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,000
Oh my God!
192
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,000
I don't believe that!
193
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,000
Oh!
194
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,000
Michael!
195
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:21,000
Probably one of the matches that I'm most proud of, and one that I actually lost, was the
196
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,000
Hell in a Cell with Shawn Michaels.
197
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,000
The best Hell in a Cell match was versus Shawn Michaels.
198
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,000
The very first one.
199
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,000
One of my top five favorite matches I've ever seen.
200
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,000
The first time that guys had ever stood on the cage, and he ran Shawn into the cage from
201
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:32,000
the outside, climbed up to the top, threw him off the side.
202
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,000
And that match was awesome.
203
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:38,000
I remember sitting at home, and Jeff and I, you know, we were big and we were big and
204
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:55,000
fans of, you know, different matches and things that were high impact and were a risk we're
205
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,000
taking or whatever, and people really turn up the voltage a little bit in a match.
206
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,000
You know, don't just do the status quo.
207
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,000
And I remember just watching the match between Taker and Shawn.
208
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,000
It was one of those times where you just go, wow!
209
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,000
That was unbelievable.
210
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,000
That was the psychology of a good cage match.
211
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:15,000
He showed that he had the mind, he had the physical ability, he worked his ass off.
212
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,000
Man, what a match that was.
213
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:21,000
That to me is the epitome of the Undertaker career, was that match right there.
214
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,000
Once again, Undertaker against Shawn Michaels in a casket match.
215
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:34,000
And that was where I, I ripped the casket on fire, trying to go and pay back for it after
216
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,000
me when I was 10 years old.
217
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,000
The casket is on fire!
218
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,000
The Undertaker is in the casket!
219
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,000
I have a lot of memories of The Undertaker.
220
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:47,000
One stands out in my mind especially is when they actually had Undertaker rise to the top
221
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,000
of the ceiling like going to heaven.
222
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,000
Oh my, what?
223
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,000
What?
224
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,000
We've never seen anything.
225
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,000
What?
226
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,000
Anything quite like this.
227
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,000
What is this?
228
00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,000
What is this?
229
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,000
Oh, wait a minute.
230
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,000
Wait just a minute.
231
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,000
What is going on?
232
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,000
What is going on?
233
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:04,000
What is going on?
234
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,000
I don't believe what I'm seeing.
235
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,000
What is going on?
236
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,000
What is going on?
237
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,000
What is going on?
238
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,000
What is going on?
239
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,000
I don't believe what I'm seeing.
240
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:22,000
When he wrestled The Mock Undertaker at SummerSlam in 1994, that was intriguing to me.
241
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:27,000
The old entrance with the flames over top and he came out with that huge Batman-like cape.
242
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,000
Just really eerie stuff with the purple lighting and the fog and the mist and everything.
243
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,000
It was such a build up when he came out with the Blackbird.
244
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,000
Spectacular.
245
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,000
Minneapolis, my hometown.
246
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,000
We had SummerSlam there two years ago.
247
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,000
It was Kane and I against Taker and Big Show.
248
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,000
It was one of the biggest matches of my career probably if not the biggest.
249
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,000
Just being in there with Taker is a big deal.
250
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,000
We got the team with him and Kane.
251
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,000
It was myself, Jeff, him and Kane against Stone Cold, Triple H, Edge and Christian.
252
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:57,000
I remember it was great.
253
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,000
We came halfway down the ramp and Jeff and I got a great reaction.
254
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,000
The Taker and Kane came out and they got a great reaction.
255
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:05,000
It was really cool being with someone, you know, that is such a legend in the business.
256
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,000
You know, and someone that I'd watched growing up to actually be out there and get to team with.
257
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,000
That is a, puts goosebumps on my back there.
258
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,000
That makes the hair on my neck stand up.
259
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,000
I like it.
260
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,000
They're fighting on a steel roof of this cell.
261
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,000
That's a steel chair that Mankind is using.
262
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,000
My gosh, look at this, it broke through.
263
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,000
It broke through.
264
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,000
It broke through.
265
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,000
That's a lot of weight.
266
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,000
There's over two, three hundred pounders up there.
267
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:42,000
They're destroying the hell in the cell.
268
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,000
And my God, don't get them over here where we are.
269
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,000
What's gonna happen here?
270
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,000
Undertaker fighting back.
271
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,000
He's fighting back that round above us, folks.
272
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:48,000
And I don't like it a damn bit.
273
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,000
My God.
274
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,000
Look at that.
275
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,000
Look at that.
276
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,000
Oh man!
277
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,000
The God Almighty!
278
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,000
The God Almighty!
279
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:55,000
They killed him!
280
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,000
The God Almighty!
281
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,000
The God Almighty!
282
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,000
They killed him!
283
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,000
Oh my God!
284
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:00,000
The God Almighty!
285
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,000
The God Almighty!
286
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:02,000
They killed him!
287
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,000
Oh my God!
288
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:08,000
As God as my witness, he is broken in half!
289
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:16,000
The Hell in a Cell match, a lot of people have said, well, that was the greatest cage match
290
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,000
of all time.
291
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:23,000
I don't know about that, but it was a display of one man's body being taken to the limit.
292
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,000
It's a really strange thing.
293
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,000
That building, the fans of Pittsburgh call it the igloo because the Penguins play hockey
294
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,000
there.
295
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,000
But it's probably one of the, it's kind of like going to Soldier Field in Chicago.
296
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,000
It's just got a lot of character.
297
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,000
It has a lot of history.
298
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:40,000
But it's kind of dark and kind of eerie in places.
299
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:44,000
Walking around that day getting ready for the show, I had some of a strange feeling
300
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,000
that this was going to be kind of a memorable night.
301
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,000
Good God!
302
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,000
You know, I just, I couldn't believe it.
303
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,000
If they didn't play it back 20 times, we'd have played it back, which we did.
304
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,000
The things that him and Mick did were just unbelievable.
305
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,000
To me, it was nuts.
306
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,000
Did he just throw him off the cage?
307
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,000
I think he did just throw him off the cage.
308
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:06,000
When I actually watched that Hell in a Cell match, I was with everybody watching the monitor
309
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,000
in the back and then I walked out and I watched it alone.
310
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,000
You could feel an aura in the building.
311
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,000
History is going to be made right now.
312
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:17,000
I mean, because when Mick Foley gets on top of the cage with Undertaker, you know something's
313
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,000
going to happen.
314
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,000
Something's going to happen serious.
315
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,000
Undertaker was standing up on the cage in his presence.
316
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,000
I remember the people were up.
317
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,000
And I remember I was sitting in a living room watching the pay-per-view with like nine
318
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,000
or ten friends.
319
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,000
And I remember the feeling in the living room was just giving us all chills.
320
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,000
You know, so I couldn't imagine how it would have been to be at the arena.
321
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,000
It's okay.
322
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,000
Now they're on the top of the cage.
323
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,000
Hopefully it's been reinforced.
324
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:34,000
Hopefully it's solid.
325
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,000
But there's no mat.
326
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:36,000
There's nothing to break your fall.
327
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:37,000
I mean, you're going to fall on steel.
328
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:41,000
You're going to fall on either the crossbar that holds it or you're going to fall on
329
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,000
the mesh.
330
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,000
Those wrestlers know how to fall.
331
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,000
How in the hell do you learn how to fall on steel without hurting?
332
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,000
You don't.
333
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:52,000
But for God forbid, I had no idea that Mick was going to be tossed off the cage, which
334
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,000
really shocked me.
335
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:57,000
I mean, legitimately shocked me, scared me the whole nine yards.
336
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,000
I can't believe either one of them are still walking, to be honest with you.
337
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:06,000
It was the one and only time that I can remember in my 15-year career that I felt like
338
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,000
I had an outer body experience.
339
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:15,000
I just let go of him, and I'm sitting there, and I'm watching him fall, which seemed like
340
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,000
it took forever for him, you know, before he hit the table.
341
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:24,000
And it was almost as if I could see him falling, and I could see myself standing there watching
342
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,000
him fall.
343
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:31,000
And it just seemed like that moment, which was only a moment, you know, it seemed like
344
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,000
it just took forever.
345
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,000
You look down and Mick's there, and you see he's still breathing, which is a good sign.
346
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:39,000
And he's moving around a little bit, and then you look up at The Undertaker, and it was
347
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,000
one of the most dominating presence I've ever seen.
348
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,000
He looked like he'd been through hell and back, and there he stood, on top.
349
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:47,000
On top of the world.
350
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,000
On top of the cage.
351
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,000
On top of the king of the ring.
352
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,000
And symbolically, on top of the WWF.
353
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,000
You can see it on video.
354
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,000
You can watch it back.
355
00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:02,000
You just can't comprehend the magnitude of what that was.
356
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:09,000
Unless you're actually standing up there on top of that cage, cell, and seeing how high
357
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,000
it is, and then the impact for which he hit.
358
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:16,000
It just, you know, the tape doesn't do it justice.
359
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:23,000
It was off the chart, man.
360
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:36,000
In time, your World Wrestling Federation will belong to me.
361
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,000
What?
362
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:44,000
One by one, they will all fall before my ministry.
363
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:51,000
That was kind of like the last facet of the whole darker side that I brought out.
364
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:55,000
You know, Vince had this vision of that Undertaker character.
365
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:59,000
Fortunately, he allowed me to make the essence of it.
366
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:04,000
You know, this guy came out there, and he commenced to beating on people.
367
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:08,000
Whoa, this guy is, you know, he doesn't scream and holler, and he doesn't talk about taking
368
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,000
his vitamins and saying his prayers.
369
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,000
He doesn't talk about beating somebody.
370
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,000
He talks about beating them and taking their soul.
371
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,000
People got caught up in the fantasy of it all.
372
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:20,000
It just kind of became cool to be dark.
373
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:28,000
In its grandest vision, in its grandest dream, and in my ministry's destiny,
374
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:35,000
I will own the World Wrestling Federation.
375
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:40,000
I think one of the reasons why it was so successful is it's very genuine.
376
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,000
I've always been one that was kind of fascinated with the darkness and
377
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,000
came out so genuine because it was.
378
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:50,000
People try and go out there and portray this character, and it looks contrived,
379
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:54,000
and it looks like they're trying to be something, you know, that they're not.
380
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:59,000
And you didn't get that with The Undertaker because what I was doing was coming natural to me.
381
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:04,000
I took away some of these other wrestlers' names and give them their own ministry names,
382
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:11,000
and I think a lot of people that were involved in it benefited from the spotlight that they hadn't had before.
383
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:15,000
I was happy that a lot of guys were brought up through the ministry.
384
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:19,000
The Edge and Christian were part of it, the Acolytes.
385
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,000
It was interesting. It was very visual.
386
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:29,000
Hanging Austin on my symbol with me down below with the eyes rolled back and looking very demonic.
387
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,000
Oh, those were the good old days.
388
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:37,000
The ministry was good, but it was also one of my low points, too,
389
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:41,000
because I allowed the ministry to join the corporation,
390
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:48,000
and it allowed The Undertaker to be part of something else that wasn't derived from The Undertaker.
391
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,000
Naturally, with the McMahons involved, the issue is going to revolve around them.
392
00:22:52,000 --> 00:23:05,000
I hate everyone, but Austin, your name is on top of the list.
393
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,000
Who in the hell do you think you are?
394
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:14,000
I take these ideas and then, I mean, I try to provoke some emotion from them,
395
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,000
whether it be good or bad.
396
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,000
You know, at the time, I felt like being the antagonist, the heel of the whole situation.
397
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:25,000
So, I mean, I turned what was cool into something that was kind of weird, you know?
398
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:40,000
Now, you will know why you are afraid of the dark, and you will learn why.
399
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:44,000
Oh!
400
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:49,000
When you start talking about sacrificing people and brainwashing people,
401
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,000
and, you know, it disturbed some people.
402
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:55,000
And the fact that I had the robes that looked like the very ceremonial robes,
403
00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:01,000
and my whole set that I had built up to look like a, you know, a demonic altar, you know?
404
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,000
It was, it kind of got under people's skin a little bit,
405
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:09,000
and especially when, you know, I went after the likes of Austin and The Rock and, you know,
406
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,000
which when those guys are fan favorites, you just don't cross them.
407
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:17,000
You will provoke the fans aggression, which is what I wanted, you know?
408
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,000
Yeah.
409
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:24,000
Although, at this point in my career, we've kind of evolved from that,
410
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,000
you know, it's still all there, you know?
411
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:31,000
And it's just, you're just getting to see another version of The Undertaker now.
412
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:37,000
About a year or so ago, I went through two really serious injuries,
413
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,000
serious enough to where I contemplated retirement.
414
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,000
Anyway, I took this ride, and I was just like,
415
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:46,000
everything that's happened over the past 10, 11 years has,
416
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,000
for some reason, brought me to this point.
417
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,000
I didn't want to go out in the midst of self-doubt
418
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,000
and whether my body was going to hold up anymore.
419
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,000
The thought came over me, you know, and it was like,
420
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,000
you know what, you're going to make a comeback.
421
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,000
You know what, you're going to go back to the top of the pile.
422
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,000
You're going to be the big dog in the yard.
423
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,000
And, you know, there's just no two ways about it.
424
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:18,000
As I lay me down to sleep, I pray my soul is mine to keep my soul.
425
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:26,000
And never step outside this bed, never into all the evil.
426
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,000
Now back from the dead.
427
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,000
What the hell?
428
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:39,000
My God.
429
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:40,000
I got it.
430
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,000
It's The Undertaker.
431
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,000
What?
432
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:47,000
It's The Undertaker.
433
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,000
He's coming from McMahon.
434
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,000
You've got to believe.
435
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:51,000
Or is he?
436
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,000
Yes!
437
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:53,000
The Undertaker.
438
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:54,000
It's with an ass.
439
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,000
The feet on him.
440
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,000
Touch slam to hell.
441
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,000
Look out, Vince.
442
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,000
Get away.
443
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,000
Oh!
444
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,000
Right hand by The Undertaker.
445
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,000
Knocking McMahon out.
446
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:03,000
Oh, my God.
447
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:04,000
It's carnage.
448
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:19,000
The Undertaker could have stayed in his original persona to this very day and still be doing
449
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:20,000
extremely well.
450
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,000
But he had the confidence.
451
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:25,000
He had the belief that he needed to change.
452
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:33,000
He really is, in today's American Badass presentation, about as close to who he is as he could be.
453
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:40,000
The Undertaker is truly an American Badass, not just as his character, but in real life.
454
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:45,000
It was just a little strange because I was going to be giving the people something that they had never seen from me.
455
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,000
That was a little odd at first.
456
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:51,000
But I think that the character had to evolve that way to continue on.
457
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,000
The key to longevity in wrestling is being able to change.
458
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:55,000
Change with the times.
459
00:26:55,000 --> 00:27:02,000
It's more believable to have him come out as this badass who comes out on a motorcycle, which is more him, and then kicks ass.
460
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:07,000
The Undertaker is kicking ass, but he's not taking no names.
461
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:11,000
I think Dead Man Inc. is open for business tonight!
462
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:18,000
What really is cool about Taker is that over the years, if you've taken a picture, each month you took a picture of him,
463
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:25,000
and there's a period of time where you'd see him change and change and change and re-adapt and re-mold.
464
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:31,000
He's like the Madonna of wrestling, and what I mean by that is he's not like a blonde, big-breasted girl.
465
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:36,000
He's always stayed ahead of the curve, and just when things start to get a little bit stale, he changes his look, his costume,
466
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,000
his character.
467
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:43,000
He was like the biker Undertaker, but that leather trench coat was the link to the old Undertaker,
468
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,000
so people didn't see a completely new character right off the bat.
469
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:51,000
They saw kind of the slow transformation from the guy that they knew to the guy that they were going to know.
470
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:52,000
I don't know.
471
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:58,000
I mean, if we change his name back to his real name, and you ask him to do a promo or an interview,
472
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,000
he would sound like he sounds right now.
473
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,000
That's his natural self.
474
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:06,000
The Undertaker is part of who I am as a person.
475
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:11,000
For all these years that I was that dark and mysterious Undertaker, people were like,
476
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,000
well, I wonder what he's like.
477
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:17,000
You know, I wonder what he's like when he's not in an arena or when he's not on television.
478
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,000
Well, I brought that, I combined the two now.
479
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,000
I mean, what you see on TV is probably what you'd see out on the street.
480
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:30,000
Leonard Baker, I would like to apologize for ruining your tag team title match.
481
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:35,000
The king of the ring, Kurt Angle, on that sector right to the knee of the Undertaker.
482
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:41,000
And for soiling your motorbike with milk.
483
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,000
Milk doesn't find you good, but I don't think it applies to motorcycles.
484
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,000
As they would say on the streets, my bad.
485
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:52,000
Now, I realize you won't accept my apology, but I do believe I have something that you will,
486
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:53,000
accept.
487
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:57,000
I want you to look at your brand new sleek scooter.
488
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:02,000
I'm gonna kick your teeth so far down your throat, you'll be able to chew your own ass out for me off.
489
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,000
What are you gonna do, Kurt?
490
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:05,000
What is he doing?
491
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,000
Wait, Kurt's gonna hit Triple H.
492
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,000
Kurt Angle clocked The Undertaker.
493
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,000
That sledgehammer was meant for Triple H.
494
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,000
Write this down.
495
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:17,000
Kurt Angle is on The Undertaker's most wanted list.
496
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:21,000
As far as hitting you in the head with the sledgehammer, Undertaker,
497
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,000
I am really sorry about that.
498
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,000
Nobody wanted to see that happen, especially me.
499
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:30,000
Almost as much as nobody wants to see you and me fight at Fully Loaded.
500
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:34,000
The Undertaker coming right after Kurt Angle.
501
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:38,000
The Olympian, our hero, is running from The Undertaker.
502
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:44,000
You know, over the past few weeks, I've been a nervous wreck.
503
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,000
But this morning, I had a revelation.
504
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:54,000
I've been literally scared, afraid, of a man who rides a bicycle.
505
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,000
Undertaker, I am no longer scared of you.
506
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,000
Kurt Angle!
507
00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,000
My God!
508
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,000
What is he doing?
509
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,000
What is he?
510
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,000
He just poured something over The Undertaker's motorcycle.
511
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,000
You'd think if Kurt Angle was scared of The Undertaker, he would have done that?
512
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,000
Kurt Angle, he better turn around and run.
513
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:09,000
Look at that!
514
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,000
Kurt Angle from behind!
515
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,000
He got a wrist!
516
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,000
Going for the knees in The Undertaker!
517
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,000
He may be breaking The Undertaker's knees!
518
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,000
How badly is The Undertaker hurt?
519
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,000
The American Badass against The Great American Hero!
520
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,000
Undertaker giving Angle a beating.
521
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,000
Same time, Angle has focused on The Undertaker's knees.
522
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,000
I don't even understand how The Undertaker's standing right now.
523
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,000
Because he's The Undertaker.
524
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,000
He is truly an American Badass.
525
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,000
Look out, look out here!
526
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:38,000
Don't do it!
527
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,000
A one-off!
528
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,000
Toe Slam!
529
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,000
Toe Slam!
530
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:42,000
By The Undertaker!
531
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,000
That should be enough right there!
532
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:46,000
Look at The Undertaker!
533
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,000
He doesn't want to just win this match.
534
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,000
He wants to hurt Kurt!
535
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,000
It's true, it's true!
536
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:59,000
The Undertaker, pure evil intentions directed toward Kurt Angle.
537
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,000
He is the American Badass.
538
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:03,000
My gosh.
539
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,000
Not the last ride.
540
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,000
The last ride, indeed.
541
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,000
How aptly named is this maneuver?
542
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,000
Listen to the impact of this.
543
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,000
You're not gonna like this, Robbo!
544
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:15,000
No!
545
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:16,000
No!
546
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,000
He's standing like a car crash!
547
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,000
He's standing like a car crash!
548
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,000
One, two, three!
549
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:29,000
It was my first main event match, and The Undertaker went out there and threw me around like a rag doll.
550
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:35,000
I do remember being out there and just feeling the strength of the guy.
551
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:36,000
You know, what he could do to me.
552
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,000
When he gave me the last ride, he hoisted me up and threw me up in the air.
553
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,000
I thought I was gonna keep going.
554
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,000
And before I knew it, I was flat on my back.
555
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,000
And he's the badass with the last ride.
556
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,000
And anybody he faces, he's gonna get the last ride.
557
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:55,000
And that's the last you're gonna see of him.
558
00:31:55,000 --> 00:32:00,000
I've retained a lot of the characteristics that people are, that know The Undertaker and expect.
559
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:04,000
But I've brought it into 2000 and 2001.
560
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:09,000
I've updated it so more people can identify with the person that The Undertaker is.
561
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:19,000
The similarities I see between the character and him is that what you see is what you get.
562
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:29,000
For all those years, when I was struggling and people were telling me that I'd never amount to anything in this industry or this business, you know,
563
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:33,000
there was always one thing I always had, and that was my motorcycle.
564
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:37,000
This bike here was actually the first brand new motorcycle that I ever bought.
565
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:41,000
I bought this for myself after I beat Hulk Hogan for the world title in 91.
566
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:45,000
It was kind of like, I think I've made it.
567
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,000
Anybody who knows anything about me knows that I love skulls.
568
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:52,000
On my own artifacts, my motorcycles, I just think they look cool.
569
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:58,000
This was actually given to me by a close personal friend of mine.
570
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,000
It is my basic setup for a motorcycle.
571
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:04,000
Black, fast, usually it'll start right up.
572
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,000
You're gonna put me on the spot here.
573
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:15,000
You know, although you have moments out on the road where, you know, you really get in the throttle and hit it,
574
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:19,000
it's a complete different feeling when you're in an arena.
575
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,000
And here comes the American badass!
576
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:28,000
Here comes this cat on this badass motorcycle, and, you know, he's riding around the ring like he's just out on the road, you know?
577
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:34,000
At WrestleMania 17 in Houston, you know, Houston being where I grew up.
578
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:40,000
I'm sitting on one of my own bikes on that stage in front of 60-some-odd thousand people.
579
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:49,000
It was one of those times where, you know, the hair on your arm stands up and you just have an adrenaline rush that's just peaked off the chart.
580
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:59,000
This bike here actually isn't mine. This is Sarah's bike. She enjoys riding behind me, but now she's ready to start out on her own.
581
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:03,000
It was a gift. I give it to her for our first anniversary. She's taken to it pretty well.
582
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,000
There's the undertaker and his wife, Sarah.
583
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:10,000
At first, I was really hesitant to even bring her on and to make her a public figure like that.
584
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:22,000
Also, on the other hand, I really enjoy her company. We get along so well, and the fact that I could actually spend more than two days a week with her was the deciding factor.
585
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:30,000
He always tells me to just relax and have fun, and that's, you know, the best advice he ever gave me.
586
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:35,000
I go out there and I don't think of it as working. I think of it as having fun.
587
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:39,000
DDP with a side set up, Sarah! Get away from her!
588
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:40,000
DDP is making his move! Get away from her!
589
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:41,000
DDP is making his move!
590
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:46,000
I love being physical. You know, you have so much adrenaline when you're doing it.
591
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,000
Sarah climbing a cage! What the hell, Sarah?
592
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:59,000
I think Sarah rounds out the Undertaker's character very well. We understand now that the Undertaker cares about certain people too, as opposed to just whipping people's asses.
593
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:04,000
As far as Sarah goes, she's the toughest chick that I know.
594
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:08,000
The Undertaker's wife and The Undertaker are very much alike.
595
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,000
We're both avid boxing fans.
596
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,000
My wife is not an ordinary woman.
597
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,000
We're both really big sports freaks.
598
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:20,000
You know, she's all woman, but she's also very much a tomboy, so it kind of gives me a bud to run around with.
599
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:26,000
She likes to get in there and get her hands dirty. She likes to throw punches. She likes submission wrestling.
600
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:32,000
One day I made the mistake of teaching Sarah the arm bar, and it's come back to haunt me.
601
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:38,000
And then she takes her body weight and rolls back. I have no choice other than to fall back with her.
602
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:48,000
If she thinks this is funny, it hyperextends my elbow. And although it doesn't look like much, there's no way to get out of this, and it hurts like hell.
603
00:35:48,000 --> 00:36:00,000
I'm pretty much right now at her mercy. I just did that for your sake. I would never tap out.
604
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:08,000
This guy here is an original dead man. First major, major tattoo was an eight-hour session.
605
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:15,000
Probably my favorite tattoo is this guy here. It's kind of the demon and the thinker kind of all combined together.
606
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:22,000
Probably one of the best pieces that I have. That and, of course, my Sarah tattoo, which happens to be the most painful.
607
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,000
It's a good thing there's no H on Sarah.
608
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:35,000
What makes me bad is the fact that I don't have to act bad. In the ring or out of the ring, I don't have to let you know how bad I am.
609
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:44,000
If you feel like you want to try me, hey, so be it. You know what I mean? I don't know what being bad is.
610
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:56,000
I mean, I know what bad behavior is, because I've been there, too. But as far as being bad, I say, I'm not bad, but the bad don't mess with me. How about that?
611
00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:02,000
Not too many people in this world being that size can do the things he does.
612
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:08,000
You know, we're talking about the Undertaker matching every bit of athleticism as an Olympic champion myself.
613
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:13,000
I can compare him to myself when you talk about athletic ability. He's a true great world-class athlete.
614
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:19,000
This man would think nothing of hitting the ropes, diving over the top rope and jumping on an opponent outside the ring.
615
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:26,000
But Undertaker isn't known as a high flyer. He's known as a giant, but yet he uses some of the same tactics as a high flyer.
616
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:31,000
That makes him unique as a professional wrestler here in the World Wrestling Federation.
617
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:39,000
As the years go on, he's gotten better and better, whereas you see some performers and their ability of their performance deteriorates over time.
618
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:44,000
His never has, because he's smart enough to adjust and adapt.
619
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:50,000
That's gotta be, that's gotta be Kane! That's gotta be Kane!
620
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:57,000
I first appeared in the WWF at the original helmet cell match, October 5th, 1997, in St. Louis.
621
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:02,000
Oh my God, he just ripped the door off its hinges!
622
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:09,000
Of course, for some time, the WWF fans had been hearing that Undertaker's brother Kane was still alive.
623
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:13,000
Look at the size of this human being! Or is that a human being?
624
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,000
I knew the type of wrestler and the type of person that Undertaker was.
625
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:23,000
I didn't know if anybody could live up to that standard as far as being his brother, but actually I was wrong.
626
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:36,000
Kane hasn't even got close to peaking yet. He has so much raw talent. Physically, he is probably one of the strongest guys ever to work in this business.
627
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:42,000
He really strives to work hard and do the best that's within him.
628
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:49,000
One of my more favorite matches was the first time that we actually wrestled at WrestleMania in Boston.
629
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,000
Of just all out physical war.
630
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:59,000
I think as big as the star that Kane is now, I still think that he will achieve even greater heights.
631
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,000
Kane is something really extraordinary.
632
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:08,000
He always brings out the best in Kane. He always brings out the best in everybody.
633
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:15,000
One thing I've learned from him is that every time you go out, you give it everything you have.
634
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:20,000
Whether you're hurt, whether you don't feel like it that night, whatever.
635
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,000
You always give everything you have.
636
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:26,000
And I think that's probably the greatest lesson that I've learned from my brother.
637
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:30,000
This would be the third tombstone.
638
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,000
Yes, he got it.
639
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,000
And will this be enough?
640
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:37,000
My God, what will it take if it's not?
641
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:38,000
Yes.
642
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:42,000
The Undertaker has won this match.
643
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:53,000
Here is your winner, The Undertaker.
644
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:58,000
Well, the first time I met The Undertaker,
645
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,000
it was probably the first day I was in the company,
646
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,000
but the second day I ever appeared on the WWE TV
647
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:07,000
was in a promo segment where I interrupted The Undertaker.
648
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,000
Personification of evil?
649
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,000
I say personification of boredom.
650
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,000
Whoa!
651
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:23,000
The only thing scary about you two is the amount of TV time you get,
652
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:28,000
which causes the people to pick up the remote and change the channel,
653
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,000
looking for a hero.
654
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:34,000
I don't think I would have said a lot of things that I said then today,
655
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,000
after knowing Taker and knowing the respect that he has and that he commands
656
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:38,000
and that I have for him.
657
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:47,000
Hey boy, I don't know who you are or who you think you are, but judging from
658
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:53,000
that peach fuzz you're trying to grow on your chin, I can tell I got more shower
659
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,000
time than you've got ring time.
660
00:40:55,000 --> 00:41:04,000
And if you ever, and I mean ever, decide to interrupt me again, it will be your last time.
661
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:08,000
And that is a promise.
662
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:12,000
It was pretty funny because I realized afterwards that I thought,
663
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:17,000
maybe I better be a little bit more careful with things that I say about some of the guys, you know?
664
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:21,000
When you look at him, you just know that he is a badass and he is a leader.
665
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:24,000
A guy that doesn't take from anybody.
666
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,000
A guy that's very blunt.
667
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,000
He's very honest.
668
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:31,000
But he'll tell you like it is, and too bad if you don't like it.
669
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:35,000
I think the one thing that has made him so successful,
670
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,000
I mean you can talk about how tough he is.
671
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:40,000
You can talk about how big and bad he is.
672
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,000
But the guy's got wits.
673
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,000
He's smart.
674
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,000
He's one of the smartest guys I know.
675
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:49,000
And you talk about being dangerous with, you know, your physical ability.
676
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:53,000
But this guy is even more dangerous because he has it up here.
677
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,000
And he has it better than anybody else I know.
678
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,000
He's the kind of guy that when he goes out there,
679
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:00,000
every single time he wrestles he tells a story.
680
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:01,000
He gets it.
681
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:02,000
He gets the business.
682
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,000
He knows how to entertain these fans.
683
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:07,000
He knows how to grab these people's attention and keep it.
684
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,000
The Undertaker is the man.
685
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:16,000
Angle's Olympic and amateur skills have yet to be utilized thus far in this match.
686
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,000
He just utilized one of his three eyes, intelligence.
687
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:25,000
I've never actually seen anybody come along so fast as Kurt Angle.
688
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:28,000
Not a very bright move there.
689
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:34,000
He's almost prodigy like as far as his transformation from amateur athlete into sports entertainment.
690
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:42,000
He has picked up not only on the physical aspects of what it is we do, but just the personality side of it.
691
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:51,000
I'm real high on Kurt Angle and what he's done and what he's accomplished in such a short amount of time.
692
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:52,000
Please, I'm begging you, put it down.
693
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,000
That would be a nasty fall, wouldn't it?
694
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:55,000
What do you want?
695
00:42:55,000 --> 00:43:00,000
I want a match with Triple H at WrestleMania, one on one.
696
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:01,000
I can't do that.
697
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:02,000
What?
698
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:03,000
Put it down, please.
699
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:04,000
Hey, sit down here.
700
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:05,000
No.
701
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:06,000
No, please.
702
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:07,000
No.
703
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:08,000
You got what you want.
704
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:09,000
You got your match.
705
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:20,000
Triple H, in my opinion, is the best of the best.
706
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:27,000
I think as I move on and as I leave this industry, he'll probably be the one that kind of ends up with my role.
707
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:30,000
He has such a sharp mind for our business.
708
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:35,000
He's an in-ring technician, top shelf performer, and he studies the game.
709
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,000
He is what he says he is.
710
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,000
He is the game.
711
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,000
Start to play the game.
712
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:46,000
If I was going to start my own promotion, I would start with Triple H.
713
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:55,000
The one Taker moment that comes to mind that is awesome was at WrestleMania 17 this year.
714
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:59,000
Usually when Taker comes out on his bike, he's got, I don't know, 30, 40, 50 feet.
715
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:04,000
At the dome, he opened that sucker up because he had probably, I don't know, 300, 400 feet to get to the ring.
716
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:12,000
And it was really cool to see him be able to just open that bad boy up and just rip it up to the ring.
717
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:15,000
And it was like, man, that is a cool entrance.
718
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:20,000
The Undertaker has never lost at this sports entertainment spectacular.
719
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:24,000
It's not that win-loss records are really that important in our business.
720
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:37,000
The confidence in The Undertaker and the perpetuation of his legacy is one of the contributing factors to the fact that he's never lost at WrestleMania.
721
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:41,000
I guess I'm pretty proud of the fact because that's our, I mean, that's our Super Bowl.
722
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:42,000
That's our World Series.
723
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:45,000
Maybe the day when it comes when I retire, I'll be undefeated at WrestleMania.
724
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:46,000
That'll be my legacy.
725
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:47,000
The legacy of The Undertaker.
726
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,000
Don't get William at WrestleMania.
727
00:44:49,000 --> 00:45:01,000
Monday night, some sorry ass called the Cincinnati PD and told them that my wife was in a car wreck.
728
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:06,000
I heard her face is all mangled and twisted cuff.
729
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,000
Come to find out everybody's just fine.
730
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:10,000
My wife's fine.
731
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:11,000
There was no wreck.
732
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:15,000
Hey Undertaker, it was me all along.
733
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,000
It was Stone Cold Steve Austin.
734
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,000
What a no good, heinous human being.
735
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:21,000
Austin mastermind the conspiracy.
736
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:24,000
Rest with my family and I will hurt you.
737
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:28,000
So tonight, let's let the pain and suffering begin.
738
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:32,000
Wait a minute, Undertaker, Undertaker with a chain.
739
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,000
Undertaker attacking Austin.
740
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:38,000
My name is Stone Cold Steve Austin.
741
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:41,000
I'm the WWF champion, I do not deserve this.
742
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:42,000
Come on, let's go.
743
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:43,000
Driver, go.
744
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:46,000
Help, boys.
745
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,000
It was The Undertaker test.
746
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:50,000
My name is Stone Cold Steve Austin.
747
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:53,000
I'm the WWF champion, I do not deserve this.
748
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:58,000
Stone Cold may pay with his heart and his soul when Austin meets The Undertaker for
749
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:02,000
the World Wrestling Federation Championship.
750
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:08,000
At Judgment Day, I know The Undertaker ain't got a chance in hell against Stone Cold Steve Austin.
751
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,000
I don't like you, I don't respect you.
752
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:13,000
I sure as hell don't fear you.
753
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,000
My name is Stone Cold Steve Austin.
754
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,000
I am The World Wrestling Federation champ.
755
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:24,000
You better give your soul to the Lord, because your ass belongs to me.
756
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,000
It's gonna be an explosion.
757
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:29,000
I'm in different horses.
758
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:33,000
Here comes The Undertaker, a three time WWF champion.
759
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:38,000
A man who has defeated Stone Cold for the WWF title.
760
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:39,000
Undertaker going after Austin.
761
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:43,000
Austin made the hideous phone calls with The Undertaker's wife.
762
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:46,000
That stupid, ridiculous hoax.
763
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:49,000
And now Stone Cold's gonna pay for it.
764
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:52,000
With body and soul, it may be the WWF title.
765
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:55,000
Early advantage going to The Undertaker.
766
00:46:55,000 --> 00:47:01,000
6'10", well over 300 pounds, and he's taking the fight to the WWF champion.
767
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:07,000
This is about retribution, and payback, and beating the hell out of the rattlesnake.
768
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:11,000
I always get a little extra boost when I'm gonna wrestle against Steve.
769
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:14,000
The challenger for the WWF title.
770
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,000
Ruthless and relentless.
771
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:21,000
But he has to be ruthless and relentless, because he's not in there with just anybody.
772
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,000
He's in there with the rattlesnake.
773
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:26,000
He brings a lot of intensity into whatever he does.
774
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:30,000
When somebody has the same type passion for what they're doing as I do,
775
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:33,000
it always makes for a pretty interesting time out there in the ring.
776
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:36,000
There it is!
777
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:37,000
The suplex!
778
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,000
As Austin reaches for that steel chair.
779
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,000
Oh, my God Almighty!
780
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:44,000
Did you hear the sickening thud?
781
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:46,000
A steel on skull!
782
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,000
And that's what The Undertaker thinks of Austin.
783
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:51,000
Stunner!
784
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:53,000
Austin got the stunner!
785
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:54,000
It's over!
786
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,000
Austin get the stunner!
787
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:57,000
It's gotta be!
788
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:58,000
It is!
789
00:47:58,000 --> 00:47:59,000
No, it's not!
790
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:01,000
No way!
791
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:03,000
The Undertaker kicked down the stunner!
792
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:07,000
And now Austin's armed again with that steel chair.
793
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:08,000
Lunacy!
794
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:09,000
Chaos!
795
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:11,000
Sick and perverted.
796
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,000
What has happened to this human being?
797
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:14,000
Retribution!
798
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:17,000
And there's a low blow back at Austin!
799
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:20,000
Taker has Austin by the throat!
800
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:21,000
Look out!
801
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:23,000
Austin went for the ride!
802
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,000
Maybe his last ride!
803
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:28,000
And The Undertaker has the chair!
804
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:31,000
And now The Undertaker is wearing out!
805
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:35,000
Mr. McMahon's corporate WWF by God champion!
806
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:36,000
And here comes Triple A!
807
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,000
What's that son of a bitch doing here?
808
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:42,000
And now Mr. McMahon's son-in-law is getting the hell beat out of him!
809
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:45,000
Austin got nailed!
810
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:46,000
There's the cover!
811
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:49,000
And Mr. McMahon broke it up!
812
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:51,000
My God, that's not fair!
813
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:54,000
Mr. McMahon getting the hell beat out of him!
814
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:57,000
Austin nailed McMahon!
815
00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:00,000
That man is getting The Undertaker!
816
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:01,000
Off to the last ride!
817
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:04,000
And the sledgehammer to the hip of the game!
818
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,000
There's a cover!
819
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:08,000
And it's over!
820
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:15,000
The story of Austin and The Undertaker I think is far from over.
821
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:18,000
I don't know, I guess you can't keep his rednecks down.
822
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:23,000
My gut instinct tells me somewhere, someday, we're gonna hook up one more time.
823
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:27,000
Who's to know what we'll bring out of this character before it's all said and done?
824
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:32,000
I'd like to be remembered as somebody who was pretty much a stand-up guy.
825
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:37,000
I'd like to be known as somebody that took pride in the company that they worked for.
826
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:48,000
And somebody that give his all for the fans and for this industry.
827
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:51,000
Do you know where you're standing?
828
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:56,000
You're trespassing on private property.
829
00:49:56,000 --> 00:50:01,000
When you walk through here, you're in my yard.
830
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:05,000
The yard is obviously symbolic of the ring, and you come in the ring,
831
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:08,000
I'm the biggest dog in the yard, and so beware.
832
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,000
You don't wanna be here.
833
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:12,000
And his T-shirt says it all.
834
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:15,000
Bad things happen in my yard.
835
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:18,000
An explosive chokeslam by The Undertaker!
836
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:22,000
Bad things have been happening here for a very long time.
837
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:25,000
The Undertaker looks like he's in some mood tonight.
838
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:29,000
I think they call it a decade of destruction.
839
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:30,000
This is Vintage Undertaker!
840
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:31,000
You're right!
841
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:36,000
This is not your yard.
842
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:38,000
This is my ring, dammit!
843
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:44,000
When Daddy wakes up, tell him The Undertaker took back his yard.
844
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:53,000
In a reality-based way, the yard is the hallowed grounds that the WWF Superstars perform in.
845
00:50:53,000 --> 00:51:07,000
And if you're gonna walk in that yard, which is dominated by the guy that's been here the longest uninterrupted, then you're gonna do it with pride, you're gonna do it with character, or you're gonna answer to those that are waiting for you in the back, like The Undertaker.
846
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:10,000
It is his yard, and nobody lays down in the yard.
847
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:15,000
When he says this is his yard and he's the big dog, well, it really is.
848
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:19,000
I mean, back here you know that he's the man, and there's a reason for it.
849
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:24,000
Taker has been the one that has been here through everything.
850
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:27,000
He knows exactly how to carry himself.
851
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:31,000
He's got wisdom to give to people that want to receive it.
852
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:35,000
When you're talking to him, he makes you feel like your time right then is his.
853
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:43,000
He's listening to you, and you know, for that time, however long it is, he's going to be genuine and listen to what you have to say and be real.
854
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:47,000
The advice that he gives is advice that you need to go by.
855
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:49,000
Taker's got a lot of stroke.
856
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:56,000
If I could sum Taker up in one word, it would be respect.
857
00:51:56,000 --> 00:52:02,000
He's got that rare attribute for a sports entertainer, which is the legendary status.
858
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:07,000
And a lot of guys, when they achieve that legendary status, they can float along and rest on their laurels.
859
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,000
But Taker doesn't do that.
860
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:13,000
Undertaker! Float through the air! Taken out the coalition!
861
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:15,000
And he hit the ropes, and he jumped straight over the top rope.
862
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:18,000
Big swan dive over the top rope on the crowd of guys.
863
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:20,000
I mean, he didn't have to do that, but he did.
864
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,000
Why? Because he works his ass off every night.
865
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:26,000
And when he grabs that hand and he's about ready to climb the top rope and yells out,
866
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,000
Old school! That's what he is, old school.
867
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:32,000
And that's not bad, because he has the respect for the business, he understands the business,
868
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:37,000
and he's passed the torch time and time again, but he's still got many more torches to pass on,
869
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:40,000
and he has no problem doing that if the time is right and if the guys are right.
870
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:46,000
I think the legacy that The Undertaker will leave will be untouchable.
871
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:51,000
The Undertaker! No one quite like him!
872
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:58,000
Twenty years from now, the wildest thing about him is that as much as the fans are going to remember him,
873
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:01,000
the locker room's going to remember him even more.
874
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:08,000
The more we can keep him in our locker room, the more he's going to accomplish with building the future of this company.
875
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:15,000
The more that we can expose him to our television audience, the more our fans are going to grow to respect him,
876
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:17,000
and grow even closer to the character.
877
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:22,000
There's no shame in going out and fighting and getting your ass kicked.
878
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:25,000
I couldn't imagine the success that I've been blessed with.
879
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:28,000
There's no honor in not fighting at all.
880
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:32,000
You have dreams and you have goals.
881
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:35,000
Fortunately, I've far exceeded both of those.
882
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:38,000
I'm tremendously proud of what I've been able to accomplish here.
883
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:45,000
There's just no way that I could have ever imagined being a headliner in main event status for over a decade with the World Wrestling Federation.
884
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:48,000
I don't know how anybody could ever dream that.
885
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:57,000
It's been a great feeling to know that I've had this kind of long-lasting staying power and still, you know, got a few fights left in me.
