The Undertaker devoted himself to entertaining fans through his performances, often at the cost of his own physical well-being. As a result, he has become a legendary figure, renowned for his many accomplishments. His impact on the world of professional wrestling is unrivaled, and his influence can be felt in many different ways. That being said, he was once intentionally beaten up by a pro wrestling legend during the early stages of his career.
The Deadman was a fixture of WWE television for over thirty years, and he continued to be a highlight of WWE television since the early 90s. He finally retired at Survivor Series 2020 and even got inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame last year.
During a WCCW event on June 26, 1987, The Undertaker, performing as Texas Red at the time, faced off against the seasoned Bruiser Brody. Despite having limited experience in the wrestling world, The Undertaker attempted to seize control of the match by giving instructions to Brody.
While speaking on Steve Austin’s Broken Skull Sessions in the past, The Deadman revealed that Bruiser Brody was irked by The Undertaker’s suggestions and intentionally beat him up instead.
“I grab an arm, so I’m standing there with a standing armbar. I just grabbed it, right? So he’s about to shoot me off [against the ropes] and I yelled, ‘Clothesline.’ I’m calling the match! I ain’t got no brains! All of a sudden, that furry boot came up out of nowhere, man, and wham, he whacked me with that boot. My eyes rolled back in my head. I was like, ‘Oh, wow, okay.'”
The Undertaker also had an interesting segment with Bray Wyatt last month on Monday NIght RAW. We will have to wait and see what’s next in store for the WWE Hall Of Famer, now that he is retired for good.
