“I feel the camera on me and I can see myself on the screen. I see Undertaker in the corner, I thought….f**k it. I’m gonna do it. I go over and I hit this man as hard as I’ve hit anyone in the back of the head. I felt him stop. [He does the slow head turn]. I’m the bad guy now.”
As he slowly moved away, Undertaker grabbed him for a chokeslam. But things took a different turn.
“I think I’m going up. He says, ‘kick me in the knee.’ I kick him in the knee, he lets his hand go. And he goes, ‘dropkick me.’ I jump up, dropkick him, HE TAKES A BUMP! You can see…I didn’t know what to do. The goal is to get the guy out of the match, but I’m not gonna pick him up. So I just go over to the corner and start fake punching somebody.”
After this incident, Cody’s respect for Taker grew.
