WWE Legend Made 4-Figure Payday to Drink The Undertaker’s Spit on Live Television

The WWE Universe knows Mark Calaway, aka The Undertaker, as the most significant sports entertainer. Right from the time when The Undertaker came to Vince McMahon’s WWE till his last match, he has purely given fans what they wish for!

The character of The Undertaker was a joy to the eyes yet vicious to his opponents. Every shade of ‘The Phenom’ provided to Mark Calaway by WWE was well written. However, Taker’s ‘The American Bada**’ gimmick was a bit twisted and poorly received by WWE Universe.

Even WWE legend ‘Hardcore’ Tommy Dreamer once recalled a situation when he had to drink the spit of The Undertaker. However, this twisted act by Tommy Dreamer got him a 4-figure payday.

How much amount did Tommy Dreamer receive from WWE for drinking the spit of The Undertaker?

In 2016, the ECW legend, Tommy Dreamer, was invited to talk about his wrestling career as a guest on the Under The Mat Radio podcast. During the interview, Dreamer talked about a Monday Night Raw episode of 2002 in which he drank Undertaker’s tobacco spit.

WWE legend said, “It was gross, it was real. I got $7,000 to do it, and I got to wrestle The Undertaker three to four times. So I think anyone might do the same. Yeah, that was rough, and it was live.” [h/t – Still Real To Us.]

Vince McMahon and the company paid ‘Hardcore’ Dreamer $7000 to gulp down a tobacco spit of The Deadman. Arguably, $7000 is a massive amount to perform one act on live television.

But ‘The Heart & Soul ECW’ was new to the WWE programming, and being in the ring with ‘Taker of Souls’ was an enormous deal for him. Hence, for a massive amount and sharing the wrestling ring with The Undertaker provoked Dreamer to perform an ugly task.

Did it end well for ‘The ECW Original’ after drinking Taker’s tobacco spit?

The WWE Championship reign of ‘The Deadman’ in 2002 rose to prominence. It was because The Undertaker defeated Hulk Hogan at the 2002 Judgement Day PPV to become the new WWE Champion.

Therefore, Taker was looking for a new opponent, and Tommy Dreamer came forward to take up the challenge. However, during this 2002 episode of Monday Night Raw, Dreamer drinking Taker’s tobacco spit was not the only thing.

Before The Undertaker appeared before Tommy Dreamer, he addressed his love for hot dogs while speaking to the fans. Well, Dreamer saw an audience member eating a hot dog and walked up to him to have a bite of that hot dog.

However, the fan dropped the hot dog on the floor, and ‘The ECW Original’ ate the hot dog off the floor. In addition, ‘Hardcore’ Dreamer drinking Taker’s spit did not pay off for him.

Tommy Dreamer’s act cringed even The Undertaker. Then, finally, ‘Taker of Souls’ destroyed ‘The Heart & Soul of ECW’ by making him drink his spit and driving him by the ring post with a steel chair around his neck.
