The Undertaker: Ex-WWE star landed himself in hot water for calling ‘The Deadman’ boring

Chris Jericho once landed himself in rather hot water after saying that The Undertaker was boring.

Chris Jericho has never been one to bite his tongue, and that was even more apparent during his first run with WWE back in 1999.

The former WWE World Champion explained that he actually landed himself in hot water after calling The Undertaker boring in a promo during his first year with the company.

Speaking to Kurt Angle on his podcast, Jericho explained that ‘Taker cut an incredibly boring promo, and he was supposed to call him out for him.

However, the promo was so boring, that the fans didn’t really disagree with Jericho, which landed Y2J in hot water and resulted in him “getting heat” backstage:

“My second promo, I called Undertaker boring. I said, ‘You’re boring.’ And really, the worst thing is, he had just, we laugh about it till this day, he had just done this super long, ridiculously boring promo about taking Big Show to the desert.

“To try and teach him how to be tough and feeding him scorpion meat and drinking water out of a puddle, and it just dragged on and on. I was supposed to cut him off and call him boring.

“This night, he really was boring. What was supposed to get heat, a lot of people were like, ‘Well, we can’t argue with that.’ And I was simply far too dumb to realize it and it ended up getting heat on me.”

The important thing is, as Chris Jericho stated, there is no hard feelings between him and The Undertaker, and the pair have worked together several times since the promo.
