It is almost always a great thing when former WWE legends speak about their careers when they used to be yound and if it involves their run ins with fellow legends at the same stage of their careers then there is nothing better. WWE legend Stone Cold Steve Austin spoke about how a joke on fellow Texan and WWE icon Mark Galloway 'The Undertaker' backfired when they were starting out in the business.
During The Steve Austin Show, the 'Rattlesnake' recalled the incident, "I was the guy who was just new to Tennessee. I'd just driven in. I was working babyface and I was trying to find someone to ride with. I was talking with The Undertaker. I guess he was The Punisher. I don't know what [ring name] he was working with down there in Tennessee. And so, we were going to ride together, but since he was heel and I was baby, we had to kayfabe, so we didn't ride together. And I knew we had a six-man tag that night, me and Dutch [Mantel] and somebody else against him and Soultaker and somebody else and I said, 'alright, dude, I'll see you tonight.' I told him to watch out, [and said] 'I might end up stretching you out there'. You know, just words to that effect and I was just kidding. I actually have a pretty good sense of humor."
However, The Undertaker might just have a twisted sense of humour since he proceeded to teach Stone Cold a lesson. Stone Cold said, "I didn't know his sense of humor. He didn't know me from Adam. And, of course, all of a sudden, there's a time for me and Undertaker or The Punisher to lock up in that match and because I just got out of [professional] wrestling school, I only know a little bit of chain wrestling. I know how to take a bump and he puts a couple of damn sugar holds on me and I'm just kind of laying there. It was Evansville, Indiana. No, it was a Tuesday. It was in Louisville, Kentucky. And there I was in the middle of the ring for about a minute and a half. He proceeded to put two or three holds that he had learned in Japan and he was a big MMA fan way back in the day, so I'm in there laying in the middle of the ring, getting twisted up like a pretzel. And all of a sudden, he decided enough was enough." He went on to say that it was all in good humour, "Now, he wasn't hurting me, but he was just stretching me and letting me know what time it was. "
