10 Wrestlers Who Had Heat With The Undertaker
Not everyone has pleased The Deadman
During his 30-year WWE career, The Undertaker frequently acted as the ‘conscience’ of the locker room.
A respected veteran who led by example and whose intimidating presence helped keep the guys and gals in line on the road, Mark Calaway was not a man you wanted to get heat with.
Yet, as history has shown us, The Deadman’s fearsome rep didn’t stop some performers from raising his ire. It typically didn’t end well for those poor souls.
These are 10 WWE stars who had HEAT with The Undertaker.
10. Shawn Michaels
The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels will forever be linked, thanks to their classic matches at back-to-back WrestleManias.
They are close friends on great terms these days, but that wasn’t always the case. It was only because of Shawn’s personality change after he became a born-again Christian that the two mended fences.
The Heartbreak Kid’s first WWE run, he was, in kind words, a pain in the arse. He’s admitted as much plenty of times himself, noting that he was not an easy person to deal with during those fast-living days. Michaels ruffled a lot of feathers in the WWE locker room during the mid-to-late 90s, including The Phenom’s.
As one of the locker-room leaders, ‘Taker had a front-row seat to Shawn’s selfish and self-destructive behaviour, and he didn’t have a lot of time for it.
Things came to a head backstage at WrestleMania XIV where, rumour has it, Mark Calaway let Michaels know that he was going to put Steve Austin over the right way in their WWE Title headliner by silently taping his fists in front of The Heartbreak Kid.
The implied threat was recognised, and the champ did the job for Stone Cold, no questions asked.
