The Undertaker has given more than 30 years of his life to the world of professional wrestling and accomplished more than anyone could have ever imagined. Many know him for his iconic victory pose and he has now revealed how he came up with the pose in the first place.
For the majority of his career, The Undertaker would drop to one knee and do his iconic bow and sting his tongue out whenever he would secure victory in his matches and it truly became a staple of his entire character.
While speaking on the latest episode of hisSix Fee Under podcast, The Undertaker revealed the origin of his iconic victory pose, commonly referred to as Shakespeare. This signature move typically followed his match-winning pinfall. The pose initially developed around the use of Paul Bearers urn. After delivering his flying clothesline, Undertaker would roll onto one knee, and Paul Bearer would raise the urn, creating a dramatic and eerie moment.
Since Undertakers character avoided directly engaging with the audience, this pose became a symbolic way of marking his victories without breaking character. Over time, it evolved into one of his most recognizable trademarks.
The Undertaker also defended his recent criticism of modern-day professional wrestling. Regardless, The Deadman was responsible for giving fans countless memories over the past several years and he wouldnt have it any other way.
