72-year Mike Jackson pulls off ‘Old School’ differently than The Undertaker
The recent Impact Wrestling Slammiversary PPV had multiple surprises for the night. The PPV marked 20 years to the day of NWA-TNA’s first pay-per-view held on June 19, 2002. One of the major surprises for the night was the return of 72-years ‘Action’ Mike Jackson as a participant in the reverse battle royal that was held during the Slammiversary pre-show.
Jackson made his presence felt by performing the move ‘Old School’ of The Undertaker with a new school touch. He walked all over the steel railings or the barricade outside the ring and then landed with a shot on the shoulder of Mahabali Sheera. Impact Wrestling shared the video on Instagram with the caption, “72 year old Mike Jackson brings a new school touch to a rail walk Old School. #Slammiversary”.
