The Undertaker is one of the scariest entities in professional wrestling. Especially back in the ’90s. But his persona backstage was completely different. Being one of the few ones remaining from the ’80s WWF, he was the advisor for everyone in the locker room.
Everyone who talks about The Undertaker only has kind and helping tales of The Undertaker saving their wrestling careers. When Shawn Michaels and Triple H formed the Kliq, a group infamous for altering booking decisions and other things, The Undertaker started another group for the people who were not getting chances because of The Kliq.

As the whole gang sat down, everyone noticed the Yokozuna shirt that Rikishi was wearing. Then they talked about The Undertaker’s connection with the late great WWE Champion.
While talking about Yoko’s love for Jack Daniels, The Undertaker said, “He jumped pretty hard on the Jack train. Once Jack came out, everybody learned to love it… I always remember a strong Yoke move, ‘Alright last call. Oh, they wouldn’t sell the bottle, alright I want 35 shots of Jack Daniels and 15 Cougar Lights’ and he always walked away. There was nothing left on the table.”
