SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - JUNE 15: The Undertaker (L) pushes Bam Neely into the corner during WWE Smackdown at Acer Arena on June 15, 2008 in Sydney, Australia.
WWE superstar The Undertaker made a rare late-night TV appearance on Wednesday. The wrestler appeared on the first segment of the Tonight Show, immediately following the opening monologue. In this segment, host Jimmy Fallon read out viewer-written notes inside the ‘Audience Suggestion Box,’ which is designed to help make the show more entertaining for viewers.
The Undertaker walked onto the stage in his typical menacing manner, with lightning simulators and fog appearing in the background, and then another wrestler, fellow WWE man Brad Maddox, came out dressed as a turkey and began taunting him. Naturally, The Undertaker refused to sit through this and performed the signature ‘Tombstone’ move, in which he turned Maddox on his head, grabbing him by the waist and holding him upside-down, and smashing him head-first onto a mat.
In addition to fulfilling the request of an audience member who wanted to see The Undertaker do this to a turkey, the bit was meant to promote the upcoming Survivor Series event, which will air on Sunday, Nov. 22.
