“So, Monday Night Raw, Spike versus ‘Taker, and he was like the Hardcore Champ. We always talked a little bit before the match: ‘Okay, I’ll give you the powerbomb through the thing and I’ll give you the chokeslam.’ And I went: ‘That’s it?’ And I didn’t mean it in the sense of, ‘I’m not going to sell for you,’ I meant that’s it like, wait a second. He’s like: ‘What do you mean?’ I’m like: ‘Dude, I’m 140 pounds. Let’s do something!'”

“And he went ‘No. ‘No, no, seriously! No. That’s stupid. No, no, no. I’m not going to do it, I’m going to kill you, no!’ I’m like: ‘Taker, seriously, I can take it. There’s a pad there, I’ll be okay!’ ‘Nope! Not going to do it!’ And then he went: ‘Okay! Let’s give it a shot!'”

The match saw the WWE Hall of Famer successfully beat Spike Dudley to retain the Hardcore Title.
