I totally agree. The way Maven delivered that joke with such a serious expression caught both the Undertaker and his co-host off guard for a moment. Seeing the smile on the Undertaker's face was awesome. I really hope Maven comes on the show more often.
man u hit the nail on the head with this one never cared about maven even would skip his matches now totally different perspective he has earned my interest
The best thing about Taker's podcast is that he corrects things that have been wrongly said about him. He did not appear in the media or in interviews to correct these matters. For example, there were rumors that Taker hated CM Punk which he denied. He even said he was proud of his match at WrestleMania 29.
And also on the Stone Cold podcast years ago that the rumors of him starting his wrestling 🤼🏻♂️ career in 1984 and him being trained by Don Jardine were incorrect and that he added that he thinks that he began training in 1986 under Buzz Sawyer when he was asked if it was true 👍🏻 .
I said he doesnt have time for hate in regards to CMpunk. Its luke when you argue with a catholic and they shout god bless you before storming off. You know what they mean, buy they're being polite. But ive seen many say CMpunk was a prick, little man syndrome jacked up to 11
@anthonyfaucy2761 Why would he though? Taker has nothing to lose now. He's openly admitted not liking Michaels in the 90s, so why not admit it about Punk?
Bad things tend to happen to people when the undertaker has a chair in his hands. I thought it was just because he's big and strong with long arms not because hes an asshole
I will take this hands down, no hesitation over Taker fading away into a quiet retirement and never seeing him except for very rare image shattering cameos on WWE, highlight reels and stories told by other wrestlers.
The shots Taker received from his feuds with Randy Orton were also brutal, like his feuds with Mick Foley and Brock Lesnar in 2002 and 2003, and I don't think Taker targeted him. The point is that in that era, the mentality and level of safety were different than now.
@@pleighboi661 tbh that style of chairshot, where the seat gets to open up as it hits you, I think would hurt less since the chair seat is opening instead of remaining solid
"If I swung a chair at someone the way I swung it, I'd expect one back." But you block any chair shot with your hand/arm, everyone else takes them to the head...
Maven still have a chance to win the 2002 Royal Rumble after 22 years later. He was thrown out through the second-rope by Taker. He just need to find Triple H continue the match.
Cornette has always said he'd rather take a chairshot (or tombstone) from 'taker than most of the high spot moves that they now do on a regular basis on TV.
Well, didn't Cornette broke an ankle from falling on the ring from a height? Of course he would say that, he has first experience about how bad high spots can get.
@@jasonx1174I believe Foley was mad about that, because there were extra shots but mostly because he didn't apologize afterwards but apparently Rock did apologize but Mick forgot.
Have you ever heard him talk about it? So he went into the match and was trying to tell Brody what to do. I guess he threw Brody into the ropes and yells "CLOTHESLINE" and Brody just drop kicked him and then beat he ass outside the ring lol. Taker was like "It was my immaturity that did that to me lol"
Wrestling fans love it when their favorite Super-Marks do insane flips in every match where they nearly break their neck, set themselves on fire, jump on thumbtacks but Chair shots??? Nah that’s just way too much.
This. People are sheep and happy to be spoon fed rhetoric without questioning it. Chair shots are dangerous but a package piledriver or dragon suplex on the ring apron isn't? You 100% nailed it in your comment, it's nice to see someone with sense and who is capable of using their brain to think independently.
The only AEW clip I've ever seen and ever will see is a guy doing a Canadian Destroyer off of a ladder held on the ropes onto 4 stacked tables which he basically entirely missed and ended up landing on Dante Martin and breakng his leg completely in half which was the worst injury I've ever seen in a wrestling ring. If that is what some people think is pro wrestling now I don't know what to say.
That’s a problem with a lot of wrestlers right now. I always used to watch the show and in the back of my mind I trust that they’re professionals and they’re probably going to be fine. With a lot of wrestling (I’ll just say it, mostly in aew) it’s hard to watch without cringing because I don’t trust that they aren’t going to injure themselves for no reason, and I don’t want to feel like I’m supporting it. Even guys like danielson who’s one of my favorite wrestlers and I’m certain he knows how to protect himself, just chooses not to and makes it where I can’t watch most of his matches. It’s pretty sad
If you notice, WWE has been using the same type of chair for years and years now. Used to be blue now it's usually black but it's always that same chair and that's got to be for a reason I'm sure.
@@Sunsetdreamer0 Yeah they bend easier and make better sound when connecting. The old chairs used to be stiff and you'd rarely get a satisfying "clank".
@@viktorstagnetti7491 I would also imagine that also the wrestlers know how to use them, change the chair make and they have to unlearn and learn some things more chance of a accident, don't change what doesn't need changing in this regards
@@shauner8754 Exactly... so ridiculous. He's an ex wrestler who was VERY lucky to get a chance in the first place, talking about wrestling things. Nothing more LOL
Although there's no malice some chair shots during the Attitude and Ruthless Aggression Era does make it seem like that's the intention especially Rock's chair shots to Mankind to where majority if them make it seem like Rock hated Mankind. Dude hit Mankind with some of the hardest swung chair shots I've seen
The rock Vs mankind match was disgusting to watch back knowing what we know now but I doubt Dwayne had any bad intentions with it although he should have in the moment known that was way too far
Undertaker, I got in to watching and becoming a fan of wrestling because of you. When you were Mean Mark with the heart punch I was hooked. Thank you for all the years of entertainment you brought to me and everyone else that got hooked on wrestling because of you. Wrestling will never be the same without you. Again Thank you.
I saw a clip the other day where Taker was saying that it’s his job to make this stuff look as real as possible, even if it isn’t, and safety is a primary concern, that he’d go backstage and have wrestlers ask him if he actually got injured. I presume that goes both ways. I think fans can really only comment up to a certain point. If it looks real, or brutal, chances are, the wrestlers are just doing their jobs well, and they know how to do them. What I’d worry about is if wrestlers came out and said, hey, this guy is unsafe. No idea what he’s doing. But nobody’s saying that about Taker. They’re saying they got taken care of, and it was a good experience for them. Add to that the pre-CTE knowledge era. Lots of judgement by people living in a different era, who’ve never done anything like this before and can’t know.
Taker is not wrong. He did hit everyone the same in that time period. Go watch Survivor Series 2003. That's a few months after the Kanyon chair shot. Taker absolutely melts a shovel on Vince McMahon's head. McMahon just crumples. It's sicker than any chair shot I've ever seen.
01:42 - Things started to get really tensed as Mark Calaway gets serious with the other chap.... The laughing just stops and the environment in the room changes from happy to serious real fast.....You can literally feel the tension. 08:02 - WOW.....Mark Calaway asks the guy to apologize... Means the Undertaker took the comment/allegation seriously. It wasn't a joke at all.
@@radicalstanza3614 Bullshit dude he could have defended himself from the head shots plenty of guys even then did maybe not the first swing but they would put them up for everyone after that
I appreciate you guys just having real conversations. It shows you’re human too and that a lot of these rumours are just that… rumours! Love hearing these stories about the matches I watched during my youth.
I am so happy that I got a chance to see this. I’ve been watching maven talk about being so excited about knowing you and meeting you. This is great years later.😂
Taker did the same to Lesnar at Unforgiven 2002, hit him so hard the chair bent. Same for JBL, Maven, Edge, etc. That's how they swung them back then, check out the Hardy Boyz hitting Lesnar and The Rock hitting Foley brutally like 9 times. He definitely laid them in but wasn't discriminating
mark i enjoy your podcasts and do you remember when you signed my WWF Magazine it was probliy around 99 anyway it was great to meet you at meiger you signed chairs for my brother anyways keep up the great work by storytelling your carer in the business much appreciated
I would love to eventually see Stone Cold as a guest and they go through the storyline they had. Especially when Austin got knocked out in NYC and Earl Hebner goes dammit boy you in da Gaden lol
To put this in perspective, Yokozuna was well over five hundred pounds yet he never hurt anyone in his short career because he knew how to give and take. Taker did that for over thirty years and the opponents he faced were more unsafe than he ever would be and that's a testament to the quality of a performer he was and still occasionally is for spots.
goat of all goats the Deadman, the American Bad Ass, Big evil man you are my favorite wrestler of all time. The promos, the walk, the gong, the eyes, the bikes everything. Thank you Mark for being part of my chil/adulthood. Really appreciate you man
The one where he smacked Shawn Michaels square in the forehead when he was already busted open, and then promptly threw the chair away in disgust is one that always stood out to me.
Taker had some of the best chair shots though.. they were clean and straight down the middle and they always looked hard af.. you could hear that smack from across the arena lol.. He would wind all the way back and bring it down hard.. While Stone Cold for example would just throw it around like a mad man
the middle of the chair is perfect shot, no edge or legs to dent your skull, makes a great sound that sounds painful as fuck, and really when your head is trained does not really hurt. and will not cause concussion if on the correct part of the skull ---- note: for a couple of shots only... not for 14 or whatever it was for the mankind rock match where mankind was handcuffed and had no chance to use the hands to protect the head.
As someone that’s almost 10 years clean myself….If you’d have told me name any wrestler from that era that had the same EXACT issue as me I’d never have even had Maven in my top 40. He just looks smarter than that but it goes to show it can be anyone. Addiction can hit anyone.
Maven is on the show talking with Mark like good close friends why would someone who has issues because he got a chair shot full of intentional pain be on he's podcast
Not to get off subject, but I remember from back in the day There was an interview where the rock Was talking to Stone cold About his heel turn at WrestleMania When Stone cold beat the rock for the Championship and he joined Vince McMahon. The rock said he went out of his way when Vince asked him to take more than half a dozen chair shots. The rock said he responded with telling Stone Cold to hit him as hard as he can in the face And he said Vince and Stone cold asked him why and the rock said because he still felt guilty for what he did to Mankind Even though Mankind wanted him to hit him for real and hit him that many times being handcuffed... That let you know how crazy these mfs was In The attitude era.
I agree with the majority of comments, Taker just ALWAYS laid in the chair shots. He *always* laid them in, and he *ALWAYS* made sure that when *he was taking one* that they SWUNG like they were up at bat in the final inning. In no way did Taker take out any personal beef with Kanyon. But at the same time, if you told me that Vince or the office told Taker to go out there and put some mustard on his shots for this segment, i wouldnt think twice about that. Because WWE and Vince back then were very petty and extremely peculiar about how they handled their business. So if Kanyon pissed off the office and accused them if they didn't sign him and properly push him because he was gay, i could definitely see Vince sending Taker out there to lay out Kanyon. But i just cant see it, this was during the time when Kanyon was tryig to hide his sexuality, and apparently it was a poorly kept secret. But even in the Dark Side Of The Ring episode, Kanyon was extremely paranoid about this. But yeah, there's no way that Taker took liberties with Kanyon because he was gay.
Can somebody anwers that phone 🤣🤣🤣 Maven Is hillarious
The look on he said it really sold it lol
Had Me ROLLIN'! That was epic.
What?
Made Mark laugh 😂
Can you explain it
0:10 was the moment Taker realized he needs to hang out with Maven more from now on
Maven was funny af with that on spot joke!
So well timed and I think perfectly needed to make that conversation go that way, with information and some levity.
That was the teacher in maven 😂

I totally agree. The way Maven delivered that joke with such a serious expression caught both the Undertaker and his co-host off guard for a moment. Seeing the smile on the Undertaker's face was awesome. I really hope Maven comes on the show more often.
Taker having his first match against Bruiser Brody is still crazy to me. Talk about a debut.
Didn’t taker accidentally hit bruiser Brody little bit too hard. And Brody taught Taker a lesson with that chair shot to the back.
talk about learning the hard way
@@kirkdavis8964Yes, that was the difference. Brody didn’t try to hurt him, but he definitely meant it to hurt.
@@kirkdavis8964 no worse he tried call spots on the fly with Brody of all people.

I still think that but he’s a charming tool that means well
He also was a young 20 something year old when he had his WWE career.

It's funny how the internet smarks seem to know how to do a chair shot better than the Undertaker, a guy who has been wrestling for decades.
He did not crack a smile at sandle boy😂😭
Undertaker and Rock always swung for the fences when they delivered chair shots
maven with the uncle leo reference right off the bat
The one where he smacked Shawn Michaels square in the forehead when he was already busted open, and then promptly threw the chair away in disgust is one that always stood out to me.
So no ones gonna talk about the Mr Kennedy chair shot? LOL
Taker seems like a real solid stand up guy
When it comes to dancing someones toes bound to be stepped on
2:16 he was about to say "undertaker smashed him because he was gay" then realised that would sound wayy too wrong😂
0:15 omg that wheeze 😂
God that opener killed me 😂
There are lots of marks in the comments. Just like what Undertaker said,'That's why they are professionals and y'all are marks'
Wrestlers are the biggest marks of all. Tough guys though
Taker had some of the best chair shots though.. they were clean and straight down the middle and they always looked hard af.. you could hear that smack from across the arena lol.. He would wind all the way back and bring it down hard..
While Stone Cold for example would just throw it around like a mad man
Who would have thought that Taker and Maven was the podcast we all needed? Seriously I didn't have it on my bingo card and they are awesome together
Maven has made a hell of a career exposing the ins and outs of wrestling after a 5 year career actually wrestling
My favorite taker chair shot was on Kennedy first blood match. Good days 😂
Taker is pure greatness and a class act
the middle of the chair is perfect shot, no edge or legs to dent your skull, makes a great sound that sounds painful as fuck, and really when your head is trained does not really hurt. and will not cause concussion if on the correct part of the skull ---- note: for a couple of shots only... not for 14 or whatever it was for the mankind rock match where mankind was handcuffed and had no chance to use the hands to protect the head.
Really Really Enjoying Seeing The Man Behind The Character That Is/Was Undertaker 👍 Prosper On Mr. Mark Calaway
That clip of Undertaker giving Koko the tombstone gets me every time ! 😂😂😂
As someone that’s almost 10 years clean myself….If you’d have told me name any wrestler from that era that had the same EXACT issue as me I’d never have even had Maven in my top 40. He just looks smarter than that but it goes to show it can be anyone. Addiction can hit anyone.
These two should podcast together all the time
Look at how clean Shamrock had it on the forehead! Just like Maven said! Perception is reality and it looked exactly as it should've.
my favorite wrestler
Maven is on the show talking with Mark like good close friends why would someone who has issues because he got a chair shot full of intentional pain be on he's podcast
Not to get off subject, but I remember from back in the day There was an interview where the rock Was talking to Stone cold About his heel turn at WrestleMania When Stone cold beat the rock for the Championship and he joined Vince McMahon. The rock said he went out of his way when Vince asked him to take more than half a dozen chair shots. The rock said he responded with telling Stone Cold to hit him as hard as he can in the face And he said Vince and Stone cold asked him why and the rock said because he still felt guilty for what he did to Mankind Even though Mankind wanted him to hit him for real and hit him that many times being handcuffed... That let you know how crazy these mfs was In The attitude era.
Maven with the smirk 2:00
I know he’s not being sarcastic but it always reminds me of his toys 😂
He learned from Dan Spivey when he killed the road warriors with chair shots
I agree with the majority of comments, Taker just ALWAYS laid in the chair shots. He *always* laid them in, and he *ALWAYS* made sure that when *he was taking one* that they SWUNG like they were up at bat in the final inning.
In no way did Taker take out any personal beef with Kanyon. But at the same time, if you told me that Vince or the office told Taker to go out there and put some mustard on his shots for this segment, i wouldnt think twice about that. Because WWE and Vince back then were very petty and extremely peculiar about how they handled their business.
So if Kanyon pissed off the office and accused them if they didn't sign him and properly push him because he was gay, i could definitely see Vince sending Taker out there to lay out Kanyon. But i just cant see it, this was during the time when Kanyon was tryig to hide his sexuality, and apparently it was a poorly kept secret. But even in the Dark Side Of The Ring episode, Kanyon was extremely paranoid about this.
But yeah, there's no way that Taker took liberties with Kanyon because he was gay.
At 5:22 you can see undertaker burning a hole in Matt with his look and trying to recover his calm demeanor 😂
