In a recent conversation with “Wrestling Shoot Interviews,” former WWE Tag Team Champion Henry O. Godwinn shared an amusing anecdote about a prank orchestrated by The Undertaker targeting The Ultimate Warrior during his 1996 WWE return.
The Context of the Prank
Upon his return to WWE in 1996, The Ultimate Warrior developed a peculiar habit of changing clothes in a secluded space, avoiding the communal locker room where the rest of the wrestlers congregated. According to Godwinn, Warrior preferred to find a small, isolated room to prepare for his matches, a practice that did not escape the notice of The Undertaker.
“He’d come back and Warrior always wouldn’t dress with the boys; he would go and find an old closet or a little utility closet room where it was just a small room big enough for him and maybe somebody else,” Godwinn explained. This behavior provided the perfect opportunity for The Undertaker to execute one of his trademark pranks.
The Prank Unfolds
The Undertaker, known for his legendary sense of humor, decided to turn Warrior’s unique preference into a source of amusement. “So we found his room one day and Taker said ‘Get your stuff and go put it in where he’s at and dress with him,’” Godwinn recounted. Following this directive, Godwinn and his tag team partner, Mideon, began the task of infiltrating Warrior’s personal changing space.
“Every time we’d get to a show, Taker would ask, ‘Did you find where Warrior’s at?’” Godwinn said. The pair would then take their time to change in the very space Warrior had chosen for himself. “Warrior would come in and had this weird look on his face, and he’d sit down and me and Tex didn’t really acknowledge him. We were just getting ready,” Godwinn added with a laugh. The prank effectively disrupted Warrior’s routine, making for a memorable and amusing chapter in WWE history.
The Undertaker’s Latest Rumour
In related news, The Undertaker recently addressed a strange rumour that had been circulating. During a recent episode of his podcast, The Deadman dismissed the claim that he is banned from the state of Vermont. A listener’s question had suggested that The Undertaker was barred from the state, but he quickly refuted this notion, clarifying that he is not banned from Vermont and had no such restrictions.
Legacy and Impact
The Undertaker’s prank on The Ultimate Warrior stands as a testament to the camaraderie and playful nature among WWE superstars behind the scenes. The incident highlights how the legends of wrestling, while known for their intense in-ring personas, also share a bond of humor and mischief that adds depth to their legendary careers.
Godwinn’s story not only offers a glimpse into the lighter side of wrestling’s iconic figures but also reinforces The Undertaker’s reputation as one of the most creative and entertaining personalities in the industry.
