The Undertaker is often referred to as one of the best in-ring workers but if you go wrong against the best then you’ll definitely need to face the wrath of the Deadman. While there are not many in the list that were confronted by The Phenom after the match, a recent revelation by one of the closest friends reveals The Undertaker getting mad at Viscera.
Mideon who was a part of Taker’s famous backstage crew known as The Bonestage Krew (BSK) in the 90s recently revealed how The Undertaker once got mad at the 487 pound wrestler who botched several moves in the ring which had caused multiple injuries to Taker and his fellow stable mate Henry O. Godwinn.
In an interview with Monte and The Paraoh, Mideon revealed how Viscera got reckless at the time of the Royal Rumble in 1996. He said that as soon as he saw the match, Viscera badly hurt fellow BSK member Henry O. Goodwin. He further said that when he returned backstage he saw The Undertaker giving Viscera a hard time about the stiffness he showed in the ring.
While speaking on the interview Mideon said- “I walk in the locker room and Undertaker is just ripping him apart because he broke ‘Taker’s orbital socket, he hurt Kevin Nash’s back, he just hurt him [Henry O. Godwinn]. That’s his thing whenever he wants people to take him seriously, like with Stone Cold and Shawn [Michaels], taping the fists up.”

The Undertaker Taped Up His Fists Once to Beat Up Shawn Michaels backstage
The Stone Cold and Shawn Michaels reference at the end of his comments refers to the infamous incident that took place during the historic match between The Heartbreak Kid and The Rattlesnake at WrestleMania 14. At that time Shawn Michaels was a huge heat magnet and The Undertaker was one of those who didn’t like Michaels.
The Deadman was so pissed off with Michaels that he started taping his fists and said that if Mr. WrestleMania does not drop his title to Stone Cold Steve Austin then he is going to beat Michaels. Though the relationship between Michael and The Phenom grew bigger and better in the upcoming years.
However, in an interview with Stone Cold at The Broken Skull sessions, The Undertaker revealed that Michaels had asked about the incident from him but he had refuted it by saying it was a rumor. But, in reality Taker revealed that “he was sitting there hands taped ready to do whatever he needed to do.”
