The Undertaker’s legendary, undefeated streak at WrestleMania was not acknowledged till 2002 after he pinned Ric Aptitude in a No Disqualification match. Within the buildup, Undertaker attacked Aptitude’s 4 Horsemen stablemate Arn Anderson however “The Enforcer” sought revenge.
Throughout the match, Anderson made a shock look and delivered his trademark spinebuster to The Undertaker. On “Six Ft Beneath with Mark Calaway,” ‘Taker appeared again on that second and the match.
“That was the best spinebuster I ever took. That was plenty of enjoyable. I keep in mind Vince [McMahon] coming to me that 12 months, I did not have an opponent, and he comes as much as me, he is like apologizing to me, he goes, ‘Mark, we booked all this out. I haven’t got anyone for you. You’ll be able to both have RVD or Aptitude,’ and nothing in opposition to RVD ‘trigger I had actually good matches with RVD. I used to be like, ‘Aptitude,’ and he checked out me, like he checked out me like, ‘What?’ I am like, ‘I need Aptitude,'” Undertaker recalled.
“The Deadman” and “The Nature Boy” battled for almost 20 minutes at WrestleMania X8 which ended with a Tombstone Piledriver, receiving a standing ovation from the gang after the bell sounded. Undertaker talked about filming a promo with Aptitude’s son David for the buildup, that also makes him smile at this time.
“That entire factor was plenty of enjoyable. That is the place I went and beat up his child on the coaching middle,” Undertaker remembered. “That is considered one of my favourite vignettes that I ever did, once I would beat David up when he was coaching to be a wrestler. I’m going in there and simply take him into the toilet and simply smoke him, simply (whack, whack), and I lower the promo within the bathe stall with him sitting there bleeding. That was a lot enjoyable.”
