In an episode of Something to Wrestle with Bruce Prichard, Prichard offered an interesting story about how he and The Undertaker had the craziest night in Japan.

Prichard said on the show that he and The Deadman had once gone out to drink in Japan. And they are aware of the specific place that offers what is known as “opium shots” in the drinks industry. The alcohol was real absinthe, and it contained wormwood.

Talking on the podcast, Prichard shared, “So we went Taker’s like, oh hey man, we gotta go buy and get an opium shot. Well all right, well let’s do it. So we did it. We’re sitting up on the roof of this bar and it started to rain. We got our opium shot, and I was, you know, typical I don’t feel anything. Alright, let’s get another one.”

Meanwhile, The Deadman advises Prichard to be calm and take things easy since, in his opinion, it will hit when you least expect it. However, Prichard and Undertaker didn’t stop and did shot after shot.

He added, “About 20 minutes after that, it comes really says hello. And man, nice little experience there. And then we’re still out drinking and what have you and it and before you know it’s like 4:30 or 5’o’clock in the morning. We got to go bed I’m like we gotta go back to the hotel man, it’s like I gotta get some sleep because I’m dead. And we go outside it’s pouring down rain. We’re flagging down taxis and the taxis just not pick us up.”
