WWE Attitude Era Legend Once Recalled Convincing The Undertaker to do a Life-threatening Spot
Follow Us
Some of the finisher moves in WWE are quite dangerous. However, WWE has always allowed some Superstars to do those moves since they control it. One such Superstar and WWE Legend is The Undertaker.
An example of the same is the Piledriver. To this day, only a handful of Superstars are allowed to do the move or any variation of it and The Deadman is one of them. Albeit, even he has his boundaries. As a pro-wrestler with immense knowledge about the moves, he knew where to draw the line. However, Spike Dudley wanted Taker to push those boundaries with him.

As a result, Spike Dudley actually convinced The Phenom to chokeslam him out of the ring. As expected, Taker was not up for it. But Dudley managed to convince him and they practised the move a few times using a crash pad before finally agreeing to do it.
The reason Dudley wanted this to happen was to create something new with Taker. And well, he definitely did.
Let’s not forget Taker is a tall man. For a chokeslam, he picks up the Superstar over his head and then smashes him. The distance between the Taker’s hand raised in the air and the ringside floor is quite a bit. The Undertaker had a good reason not wanting to do it, but Spike Dudley knew he could take it, and he did!
