I totally agree. The way Maven delivered that joke with such a serious expression caught both the Undertaker and his co-host off guard for a moment. Seeing the smile on the Undertaker's face was awesome. I really hope Maven comes on the show more often.
Bad things tend to happen to people when the undertaker has a chair in his hands. I thought it was just because he's big and strong with long arms not because hes an asshole
man u hit the nail on the head with this one never cared about maven even would skip his matches now totally different perspective he has earned my interest
The best thing about Taker's podcast is that he corrects things that have been wrongly said about him. He did not appear in the media or in interviews to correct these matters. For example, there were rumors that Taker hated CM Punk which he denied. He even said he was proud of his match at WrestleMania 29.
And also on the Stone Cold podcast years ago that the rumors of him starting his wrestling 🤼🏻♂️ career in 1984 and him being trained by Don Jardine were incorrect and that he added that he thinks that he began training in 1986 under Buzz Sawyer when he was asked if it was true 👍🏻 .
I said he doesnt have time for hate in regards to CMpunk. Its luke when you argue with a catholic and they shout god bless you before storming off. You know what they mean, buy they're being polite. But ive seen many say CMpunk was a prick, little man syndrome jacked up to 11
@anthonyfaucy2761 Why would he though? Taker has nothing to lose now. He's openly admitted not liking Michaels in the 90s, so why not admit it about Punk?
The shots Taker received from his feuds with Randy Orton were also brutal, like his feuds with Mick Foley and Brock Lesnar in 2002 and 2003, and I don't think Taker targeted him. The point is that in that era, the mentality and level of safety were different than now.
Maven still have a chance to win the 2002 Royal Rumble after 22 years later. He was thrown out through the second-rope by Taker. He just need to find Triple H continue the match.
I will take this hands down, no hesitation over Taker fading away into a quiet retirement and never seeing him except for very rare image shattering cameos on WWE, highlight reels and stories told by other wrestlers.
@@pleighboi661 tbh that style of chairshot, where the seat gets to open up as it hits you, I think would hurt less since the chair seat is opening instead of remaining solid
"If I swung a chair at someone the way I swung it, I'd expect one back." But you block any chair shot with your hand/arm, everyone else takes them to the head...
Cornette has always said he'd rather take a chairshot (or tombstone) from 'taker than most of the high spot moves that they now do on a regular basis on TV.
Well, didn't Cornette broke an ankle from falling on the ring from a height? Of course he would say that, he has first experience about how bad high spots can get.
Undertaker, I got in to watching and becoming a fan of wrestling because of you. When you were Mean Mark with the heart punch I was hooked. Thank you for all the years of entertainment you brought to me and everyone else that got hooked on wrestling because of you. Wrestling will never be the same without you. Again Thank you.
Wrestling fans love it when their favorite Super-Marks do insane flips in every match where they nearly break their neck, set themselves on fire, jump on thumbtacks but Chair shots??? Nah that’s just way too much.
This. People are sheep and happy to be spoon fed rhetoric without questioning it. Chair shots are dangerous but a package piledriver or dragon suplex on the ring apron isn't? You 100% nailed it in your comment, it's nice to see someone with sense and who is capable of using their brain to think independently.
The only AEW clip I've ever seen and ever will see is a guy doing a Canadian Destroyer off of a ladder held on the ropes onto 4 stacked tables which he basically entirely missed and ended up landing on Dante Martin and breakng his leg completely in half which was the worst injury I've ever seen in a wrestling ring. If that is what some people think is pro wrestling now I don't know what to say.
That’s a problem with a lot of wrestlers right now. I always used to watch the show and in the back of my mind I trust that they’re professionals and they’re probably going to be fine. With a lot of wrestling (I’ll just say it, mostly in aew) it’s hard to watch without cringing because I don’t trust that they aren’t going to injure themselves for no reason, and I don’t want to feel like I’m supporting it. Even guys like danielson who’s one of my favorite wrestlers and I’m certain he knows how to protect himself, just chooses not to and makes it where I can’t watch most of his matches. It’s pretty sad
Have you ever heard him talk about it? So he went into the match and was trying to tell Brody what to do. I guess he threw Brody into the ropes and yells "CLOTHESLINE" and Brody just drop kicked him and then beat he ass outside the ring lol. Taker was like "It was my immaturity that did that to me lol"
I saw a clip the other day where Taker was saying that it’s his job to make this stuff look as real as possible, even if it isn’t, and safety is a primary concern, that he’d go backstage and have wrestlers ask him if he actually got injured. I presume that goes both ways. I think fans can really only comment up to a certain point. If it looks real, or brutal, chances are, the wrestlers are just doing their jobs well, and they know how to do them. What I’d worry about is if wrestlers came out and said, hey, this guy is unsafe. No idea what he’s doing. But nobody’s saying that about Taker. They’re saying they got taken care of, and it was a good experience for them. Add to that the pre-CTE knowledge era. Lots of judgement by people living in a different era, who’ve never done anything like this before and can’t know.
@@jasonx1174I believe Foley was mad about that, because there were extra shots but mostly because he didn't apologize afterwards but apparently Rock did apologize but Mick forgot.
Although there's no malice some chair shots during the Attitude and Ruthless Aggression Era does make it seem like that's the intention especially Rock's chair shots to Mankind to where majority if them make it seem like Rock hated Mankind. Dude hit Mankind with some of the hardest swung chair shots I've seen
The rock Vs mankind match was disgusting to watch back knowing what we know now but I doubt Dwayne had any bad intentions with it although he should have in the moment known that was way too far

mark i enjoy your podcasts and do you remember when you signed my WWF Magazine it was probliy around 99 anyway it was great to meet you at meiger you signed chairs for my brother anyways keep up the great work by storytelling your carer in the business much appreciated
Taker is not wrong. He did hit everyone the same in that time period. Go watch Survivor Series 2003. That's a few months after the Kanyon chair shot. Taker absolutely melts a shovel on Vince McMahon's head. McMahon just crumples. It's sicker than any chair shot I've ever seen.
Taker did the same to Lesnar at Unforgiven 2002, hit him so hard the chair bent. Same for JBL, Maven, Edge, etc. That's how they swung them back then, check out the Hardy Boyz hitting Lesnar and The Rock hitting Foley brutally like 9 times. He definitely laid them in but wasn't discriminating
Absolutely love the Podcast!! Been watching wrestling off and on over the course of my life from as far back as when the Von Erichs were a hot commodity til now! Have always loved the Undertaker from day one regardless of whether heel or baby face! 😊
goat of all goats the Deadman, the American Bad Ass, Big evil man you are my favorite wrestler of all time. The promos, the walk, the gong, the eyes, the bikes everything. Thank you Mark for being part of my chil/adulthood. Really appreciate you man
I would love to eventually see Stone Cold as a guest and they go through the storyline they had. Especially when Austin got knocked out in NYC and Earl Hebner goes dammit boy you in da Gaden lol
I agree with the majority of comments, Taker just ALWAYS laid in the chair shots. He *always* laid them in, and he *ALWAYS* made sure that when *he was taking one* that they SWUNG like they were up at bat in the final inning. In no way did Taker take out any personal beef with Kanyon. But at the same time, if you told me that Vince or the office told Taker to go out there and put some mustard on his shots for this segment, i wouldnt think twice about that. Because WWE and Vince back then were very petty and extremely peculiar about how they handled their business. So if Kanyon pissed off the office and accused them if they didn't sign him and properly push him because he was gay, i could definitely see Vince sending Taker out there to lay out Kanyon. But i just cant see it, this was during the time when Kanyon was tryig to hide his sexuality, and apparently it was a poorly kept secret. But even in the Dark Side Of The Ring episode, Kanyon was extremely paranoid about this. But yeah, there's no way that Taker took liberties with Kanyon because he was gay.
The one where he smacked Shawn Michaels square in the forehead when he was already busted open, and then promptly threw the chair away in disgust is one that always stood out to me.
Maven is on the show talking with Mark like good close friends why would someone who has issues because he got a chair shot full of intentional pain be on he's podcast
Doubt the page /anyone from Six feet under YT will see this but if someone does. You should start putting video clips in These shorter videos. For example, show a 20 second clip of the maven chair shit while they’re talking about it, show the takers first tombstone as he’s talking about it etc. And just clip It over the video in post production. Just a thought/suggestion. Love the show , I was a 90s kid, and love anything even somewhat attitude /ruthless era of wrestling!
Taker didn't target Kanyon. Very occasionally there is a gay guy who accuses others of homophobia to curry fake sympathy because it's easy to get positive heat for saying 'people are bigoted against me'. Now, I have no doubt Vince has a complicated history with homosexuality - Pat Patterson is one of his trusted advisors, yet this is the guy who encouraged homophobic slurs to get heat on Goldust. What I would say is, it was sickening he was asked to do Culture Club. That was demeaning. Taker didn't book that. Vince did. Kanyon definitely has a case to go after the office. But there's no evidence on Taker. Taker did definitely treat everybody the same when it came to chair shots. Wrestling isn't a business for weak people. It's a tough, vicious business. If that's hard to accept, don't watch it. They were wrong to do chair shots to the head - they're not doing it any more, that's positive. But that they did at the time was where the business was at and Kanyon, saying Taker went for him as gay punishment, seems like using his sexuality to curry views and sympathy and changing the narrative. It was definitely a punishment making Kanyon do Culture Club in front of Taker, but not enough evidence to say Taker was involved. Kanyon says yes, has only opinion, no corroboration from those backstage at the time. Taker says no, is angry and upset about it, gives actual evidence why not, nobody else backstage argues. Taker didn't hard shot Orlando Jordan - so why would Taker go for a guy who wasn't open about his homosexuality and yet not stiff the openly bisexual guy who flirted backstage openly?
Taker had some of the best chair shots though.. they were clean and straight down the middle and they always looked hard af.. you could hear that smack from across the arena lol.. He would wind all the way back and bring it down hard.. While Stone Cold for example would just throw it around like a mad man
To put this in perspective, Yokozuna was well over five hundred pounds yet he never hurt anyone in his short career because he knew how to give and take. Taker did that for over thirty years and the opponents he faced were more unsafe than he ever would be and that's a testament to the quality of a performer he was and still occasionally is for spots.
the middle of the chair is perfect shot, no edge or legs to dent your skull, makes a great sound that sounds painful as fuck, and really when your head is trained does not really hurt. and will not cause concussion if on the correct part of the skull ---- note: for a couple of shots only... not for 14 or whatever it was for the mankind rock match where mankind was handcuffed and had no chance to use the hands to protect the head.
Chair shots suck these days. Attitude era was the best. Undertaker you're a legend and screw what the trolls say. Nothing will ever compare to the 90s and 2000s era of wrestling. Then you got Mick Foley who never put his hands up ever on a chair shot. Btw I've hit my big toe on a couch and ripped the nail completely off. I know that couch pain. 😂
"CAN SOMEONE ANSWER THAT PHONE!"
I laughed for two minutes after that
what was the joke?

Taker having his first match against Bruiser Brody is still crazy to me. Talk about a debut.
Didn’t taker accidentally hit bruiser Brody little bit too hard. And Brody taught Taker a lesson with that chair shot to the back.
talk about learning the hard way
@@kirkdavis8964Yes, that was the difference. Brody didn’t try to hurt him, but he definitely meant it to hurt.
@@kirkdavis8964 no worse he tried call spots on the fly with Brody of all people.

Mark took great pride in being safe in the ring and I understand why he would take exception to any silly accusations like that.
Ever since those bullshit accusations by Hogan he's been justifiably defensive when someone tries saying he's being unsafe.
@@EvilGoatBoy I swear it's some die-hard AEW fans who are saying that because of Taker's criticism of AEW

I don't know man. That Mr. Kennedy shot was crazy.
Taker did the same to Lesnar at Unforgiven 2002, hit him so hard the chair bent. Same for JBL, Maven, Edge, etc. That's how they swung them back then, check out the Hardy Boyz hitting Lesnar and The Rock hitting Foley brutally like 9 times. He definitely laid them in but wasn't discriminating
@@powerslave737he wouldn't have hit austin or triple h that hard
Yes maven and undertaker as hosts on a pod 😂
Undertaker through brutal looking chair shots. The one on HHH when Hogan won the title was my fav
Koko walked away from that first tombstone looking like Gary Coleman.
Hahahahahaha. You just killed me with that comment 😅
I hope Taker has DDP on next, to talk about the alleged heat with some WCW/ECW guys in 2001, including DDP and Mike Awesome.
RIP Chris Kanyon❤️
Absolutely love the Podcast!! Been watching wrestling off and on over the course of my life from as far back as when the Von Erichs were a hot commodity til now! Have always loved the Undertaker from day one regardless of whether heel or baby face! 😊
God I love listening to take the guy got the most entertaining stories the way he tells them absolutely fabulous 😄
Taker ALWAYS gave the hardest, loudest chair shots and they were amazing.
1:42 That’s you sandal boy. 😂
goat of all goats the Deadman, the American Bad Ass, Big evil man you are my favorite wrestler of all time. The promos, the walk, the gong, the eyes, the bikes everything. Thank you Mark for being part of my chil/adulthood. Really appreciate you man
Lmao Taker remembered the hate comments towards host guy with the bud name
😂😂😂
the laugh by both after the phone joke in the beginning was such a good vibe. Who doesnt love Mark. I do like that they are talkin. Very good clip.
If Undertaker hit me with a chair, I would brag about it the rest of my life.
0:15 omg that wheeze 😂
Look at how clean Shamrock had it on the forehead! Just like Maven said! Perception is reality and it looked exactly as it should've.
This is why we are professionals and you are a mark.
Haha, awesome
If you want to see a chair shot either Taker on Jeff Hardy or Jeff Hardy/Matt Hardy on Brock Lesnar
That wheeze at 0:15 🤣
Taker has that "uncle at the cookout" kinda laugh. 😂
@@avampirenamedenzi😂
Maven and Undertaker chemistry is epic they are hilarious!
I would love to eventually see Stone Cold as a guest and they go through the storyline they had. Especially when Austin got knocked out in NYC and Earl Hebner goes dammit boy you in da Gaden lol
Never thought I would hear the undertaker like this
Honestly Maven sounds like such a chill dude
Who would have thought that Taker and Maven was the podcast we all needed? Seriously I didn't have it on my bingo card and they are awesome together
Maven with the smirk 2:00
I know he’s not being sarcastic but it always reminds me of his toys 😂
If you think that chair shot to Kanyon was stiff you should check the one to Mr. Kennedy at Survivor Series 2006
Really Really Enjoying Seeing The Man Behind The Character That Is/Was Undertaker 👍 Prosper On Mr. Mark Calaway
I agree with the majority of comments, Taker just ALWAYS laid in the chair shots. He *always* laid them in, and he *ALWAYS* made sure that when *he was taking one* that they SWUNG like they were up at bat in the final inning.
In no way did Taker take out any personal beef with Kanyon. But at the same time, if you told me that Vince or the office told Taker to go out there and put some mustard on his shots for this segment, i wouldnt think twice about that. Because WWE and Vince back then were very petty and extremely peculiar about how they handled their business.
So if Kanyon pissed off the office and accused them if they didn't sign him and properly push him because he was gay, i could definitely see Vince sending Taker out there to lay out Kanyon. But i just cant see it, this was during the time when Kanyon was tryig to hide his sexuality, and apparently it was a poorly kept secret. But even in the Dark Side Of The Ring episode, Kanyon was extremely paranoid about this.
But yeah, there's no way that Taker took liberties with Kanyon because he was gay.
At 5:22 you can see undertaker burning a hole in Matt with his look and trying to recover his calm demeanor 😂
"Can somebody answer that phone"!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The one where he smacked Shawn Michaels square in the forehead when he was already busted open, and then promptly threw the chair away in disgust is one that always stood out to me.
God that opener killed me 😂
Taker laughing at Curt's fanny pack sent me
Maven is on the show talking with Mark like good close friends why would someone who has issues because he got a chair shot full of intentional pain be on he's podcast
Doubt the page /anyone from
Six feet under YT will see this but if someone does. You should start putting video clips in
These shorter videos. For example, show a 20 second clip of the maven chair shit while they’re talking about it, show the takers first tombstone as he’s talking about it etc. And just clip
It over the video in post production. Just a thought/suggestion.
Love the show ,
I was a 90s kid, and love anything even somewhat attitude /ruthless era of wrestling!
maven with the uncle leo reference right off the bat
Wait, what happened to the chairshot to Mr. Kennedy? Wasn't there a malice there?
Taker didn't target Kanyon. Very occasionally there is a gay guy who accuses others of homophobia to curry fake sympathy because it's easy to get positive heat for saying 'people are bigoted against me'. Now, I have no doubt Vince has a complicated history with homosexuality - Pat Patterson is one of his trusted advisors, yet this is the guy who encouraged homophobic slurs to get heat on Goldust. What I would say is, it was sickening he was asked to do Culture Club. That was demeaning. Taker didn't book that. Vince did. Kanyon definitely has a case to go after the office.
But there's no evidence on Taker. Taker did definitely treat everybody the same when it came to chair shots. Wrestling isn't a business for weak people. It's a tough, vicious business. If that's hard to accept, don't watch it. They were wrong to do chair shots to the head - they're not doing it any more, that's positive. But that they did at the time was where the business was at and Kanyon, saying Taker went for him as gay punishment, seems like using his sexuality to curry views and sympathy and changing the narrative. It was definitely a punishment making Kanyon do Culture Club in front of Taker, but not enough evidence to say Taker was involved. Kanyon says yes, has only opinion, no corroboration from those backstage at the time. Taker says no, is angry and upset about it, gives actual evidence why not, nobody else backstage argues. Taker didn't hard shot Orlando Jordan - so why would Taker go for a guy who wasn't open about his homosexuality and yet not stiff the openly bisexual guy who flirted backstage openly?
Taker had some of the best chair shots though.. they were clean and straight down the middle and they always looked hard af.. you could hear that smack from across the arena lol.. He would wind all the way back and bring it down hard..
While Stone Cold for example would just throw it around like a mad man
my favorite wrestler
Taker is pure greatness and a class act
To put this in perspective, Yokozuna was well over five hundred pounds yet he never hurt anyone in his short career because he knew how to give and take. Taker did that for over thirty years and the opponents he faced were more unsafe than he ever would be and that's a testament to the quality of a performer he was and still occasionally is for spots.
love the descriptions elegant phrasing of using chair shots ahahaha
the middle of the chair is perfect shot, no edge or legs to dent your skull, makes a great sound that sounds painful as fuck, and really when your head is trained does not really hurt. and will not cause concussion if on the correct part of the skull ---- note: for a couple of shots only... not for 14 or whatever it was for the mankind rock match where mankind was handcuffed and had no chance to use the hands to protect the head.
Chair shots suck these days. Attitude era was the best. Undertaker you're a legend and screw what the trolls say. Nothing will ever compare to the 90s and 2000s era of wrestling. Then you got Mick Foley who never put his hands up ever on a chair shot. Btw I've hit my big toe on a couch and ripped the nail completely off. I know that couch pain. 😂
That clip of Undertaker giving Koko the tombstone gets me every time ! 😂😂😂
I take it that phone belonged to Mideon, Dennis Knight! Can't wait to see his episode!!! :D
There are lots of marks in the comments. Just like what Undertaker said,'That's why they are professionals and y'all are marks'
Wrestlers are the biggest marks of all. Tough guys though
