5 WWE Superstars that intentionally ticked the Undertaker off

#5 Chris Jericho

Y2J has a reputation for quarelling with larger men

Chris Jericho seems to have developed somewhat of a reputation for picking a bone with men that out-size him – recall his legendary taming of Goldberg with a headlock in a shoot fight behind the scenes.

But his propensity to piss off the big men of the WWE didn’t end there, as he had no qualms about doing something that everyone was petrified of even contemplating. He criticised the Undertaker publicly.

In his earlier days, when WWE had just snapped up WCW, Jericho was widely viewed as trouble as he had a tendency to go too far with his promos. But on the back of what was essentially a hostile takeover, can you blame Jericho for going after the biggest fish in the pond?

As the story goes, The Undertaker was cutting a long, drony promo on Big Show when Jericho interrupted them and laid waste to the whole segment, referring to the Undertaker as 'boring'. While Taker did know that Jericho was scripted to interfere, he didn't expect the promo to cut quite as close to the bone because...well...he was quite damn boring then.

This ballsy move by Jericho may have earned him the ire of the Deadman but considering that he’s one of the biggest legends in the industry today, it did serve him well in putting his name out there in the long term.

All’s well that ends well, right?
