5 most fascinating backstage stories of The Undertaker

#2 Threatening Shawn Michaels without saying a word

Michaels was known for being difficult to work with during his first run

During his first run in the late 1990s in WWE, Michaels was infamous for being extremely difficult to work with. In fact, this reached such a point that there were rumblings in the air about whether Michaels would really go through with dropping his Title to Stone Cold in the main event of WrestleMania 14.

As narrated by Bruce Prichard on his podcast, it was The Undertaker who took it upon himself to make sure that Michaels does the needful. As HBK was about to make his entrance, 'Taker sat in the gorilla position, wrapping up his arms in a way that Michaels got the message he would have to answer to The Deadman if something did not go right.

This is what Prichard had to say about the incident:

"Undertaker was seated directly in front of me and he sat there and wrapped his hands as Shawn Michaels made his way to the ring. There was a subliminal message there, 'I'm going to be right here when you come back to make sure you do business'. That was the message."
