The idea of seeing Undertaker and Hulk Hogan go up against each other at the grandest stage of them all for any WWE fan. WWE legend in a recent chat with ESPN discussed his first title win against Hulk Hogan in 1991. Undertaker revealed that Hulk Hogan had lied about the “neck injury” that he received after being subjected to the Tombstone Piledriver at Survivor Series 1991.
Survivor Series (1991) was the fifth annual Survivor Series professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE). It was the first Survivor Series to feature a singles match of any kind, where in the main event The Undertaker defeated Hulk Hogan to win the WWF World Heavyweight Championship.
“Finally, I got to San Antonio, I was like, “Terry, I watched it back, your head never hit!” He’s like, “Brother, what it was is you had me so tight, that when we came down, I had nowhere to move, and that’s what jammed my neck. I couldn’t move at all.” At that point, then I was like, ‘Okay,’ I kind of realized I know what you’re all about, and that’s all I needed,” The Deadman was quoted as saying by ESPN.
“I was not overly friendly, but I did, you know, if he was in the building, I always made sure to say hello, and engage him in conversation. But, you know, l’ve always, like I said, from that Tuesday In Texas, when I got that answer, I knew all I needed to know about him. And then, you know, that’s the way it’s always… my radar was always up, anytime I had to interact with him,” added Undertaker.
