“I was working with Kane who’s just a big, big dude and I was trying to throw him up on my shoulder, and I was trying to give him, you know, my Piledriver. But he’s 330 pounds, and he gets his weight, kind of gets stuck here [pointing to his shoulder] and I’m too stupid to put him down and readjust.”

Undertaker popped his shoulder and flew out to Nashville to get a shot of cortisone. The doctor gave him the shot, but it did not improve the condition or relieve him of the pain. He refused a shoulder surgery since he was in the middle of an angle for WrestleMania. Because of this, the doctor referred him to a specialist called Dr. James Andrews.

When Taker went to meet Dr. Andrews, the specialist was already waiting for him in the examination room. “He goes, ‘I don’t know if there’s anything I can do for you’. He’s obviously seen my MRI and everything. He goes, he says, can you lift your arm? I said yes, sir. Yeah, I can lift it. He says can I see you lift it? Yeah.”

Once Taker lifted his arm, the doctor said there’s no reasonable explanation why he could do that. He told the Undertaker that he has taught yourself how to use that arm with that severe injury.

Dr. Andrews promised Undertaker he would try to fix his arm, and somehow conducted the surgery, ridding Taker of his shoulder pains.
