WWE stars have to put their bodies through a lot. All the long-term fans of the sport remember the historic backstage brawl of one of the most iconic rivals.

In a recent episode of ‘WWE Rivals’, Mick Foley and Mark Calaway took the spotlight. The duo talked about their never-ending off-screen rivalry. The plot and audience response were so strong that several backstage feuds were also included.

The Undertaker receives hot caffeine

While talking about Taker’s most iconic backstage moments, it is impossible to not consider the one where Calaway had to fight with a lot of burns. The Undertaker and Mankind faced each other in the first-ever Boiler Room Brawl. Soon after that, the two had to fight backstage and then make their way to fight in front of the audience as well. “I had to come up with something because we were both so beaten up and worn out from the Boiler Room Brawl the night before,” recalled Foley.

While trying to make the brawl meaningful, Foley remembered the number one rule. The rule is that you have to look around and use anything you get in your surroundings to turn up the heat of the fight. After Foley saw a “coffee machine”, he decided to throw it on his opponent. The scalding caffeinated drink awakened all the senses present inside Taker. The match went on, but over time, neither of the wrestlers seem to have taken it personally.

The Undertaker moves on with his life

Both the legends knew that this was just kayfabe. There were no personal attacks involved. Moreover, there was no significant injury that happened at the bout. The wrestlers are not rivals in real life and Mark Calaway seems to be doing pretty well since he is connected to WWE, even after retiring. The Wrestler recently got a one-man show where he tells moral stories using his life experiences.
