On the latest episode of Six Feet Under, The Undertaker talked about the origin of his victory pose and more. You can check out some highlights below:
On why he changed his look with a goatee for the minster: “I was trying to look as demonic as I could. And I’d had the goatee for for so long, I just started letting it grow. And I think actually I got potatoed once in the chin, and I came back — I came back and the hair on my chin was kind of split. I was like, ‘Huh, I wonder.’ So then I started putting a little wax in there, and it turned into like, ‘Oh, that’s pretty cool.’”
On the origin of his victory pose: “My victory pose. It’s what was then referred to as Shakespeare. That’s what that’s called, that’s what everybody refers to it. So, ‘Hit the Shakespeare after the 1-2-3.’ It was all usually — it started around the urn. I started doing it, I used to hit the flying clothesline, and I would roll up onto my knee and foot. And then Paul would be there, and he would lift the urn, and then that’s where it started. And then, because I didn’t pander to the audience [stares at camera] … that kind of became my signature bow without actually pandering to the audience. [stares at camera, then laughs] Yeah, but that’s where it came from.”
