Chuck Norris is a legendary martial arts movie star and internet meme icon whose career stretches back all the way to the 1970s.

Chuck Norris parlayed his success in the martial arts world into an acting career. His first role came in the Bruce Lee film Return of the Dragon, where the two icons fought in the ancient Roman Coliseum.

Norris went on to star in dozens of movies, including the famous Missing in Action series. By the 1990s, Norris was starring in his own television Show, Walker, Texas Ranger. The show was so popular that WWE invited Norris to be the outside enforcer at Survivor Series in 1994.

Despite being announced as Chuck Norris, the actor dressed and acted like his Walker character from the television show.

He prevented outside interference in the Yokozuna vs. The Undertaker match and kicked Jeff Jarrett soundly, making him an effective if somewhat forgotten celebrity enforcer.

The fact that even the Undertaker required Norris' assistance is a testimony to the latter's stature.
