That’s some exposure. There are legends in wrestling and then there are serious legends in wrestling. Some names are the kinds of people who are going to be known outside of the industry and while that is difficult to accomplish, it is something that makes a person a star for life. That is the case with someone who has recently hung up the boots, but he is still an absolute legend.
Earlier this year, the Undertaker finally retired from the ring, marking the end of a phenomenal career. Ignoring everything he did before coming to WWE, Undertaker had a remarkable thirty year run with WWE where he accomplished everything that he could have wanted. That is the kind of career that is going to be well remembered, and that is the case again, even on a bigger stage.
This isn’t something everyone gets to do. Check out Undertaker getting quite the exposure:
Undertaker was a guest on this Friday’s edition of the Tonight Show, taking part in a segment called Audience Suggestion Box. One of the suggestions recommended combining Halloween and WWE on the show, which caused host Jimmy Fallon to show a clip of Undertaker Tombstoning a mannequin and crushing a pumpkin. Undertaker said Rest In Peace and Fallon plugged his thirtieth anniversary celebration at Survivor Series.
Opinion: That’s pretty cool, as the Tonight Show is a pretty mainstream show and something that not everyone gets to appear on. Yes it was just a quick cameo and it was there to promote his Survivor Series celebration, but Undertaker still got to appear on the show. You don’t get to see that all the time and it was a cool moment, not just for fans but also for him.
What did you think of the clip? What are you expecting from the celebration? Let us know in the comments below.
