5 Backstage stories about The Undertaker that you should know

#3 The Undertaker let Chris Jericho kiss him

Chris Jericho has always admired The Undertaker

While almost everyone in WWE seems to be in awe of The Undertaker, former WWE Superstar Chris Jericho took his admiration for The Phenom to another level when he said that he wanted to kiss the iconic Superstar.

Y2J recalled the time they spent in Tokyo where they went out to drink and Jericho was trying to kiss The Undertaker.

It took a three-hour-long drinking session before The Undertaker gave in to Jericho’s wish. But he only allowed Jericho to give him a peck on his cheek (Jericho stated that he wanted to kiss The Undertaker on his lips).

Y2J jumped at the chance and planted an honest mark of admiration on his friend. Years later, Jericho shared this hilarious story and spilled the beans about his infamous demand from The Phenom. Here’s what Jericho was quoted saying:

“And, I spent one night in Tokyo. About three hours we spent hanging out with him. And, we were in another world that night. And, I was trying to get him to let me kiss him on the lips. And, he would not let me kiss him on those [lips]. But, then he finally acquiesces to let me kiss him on the cheek. So, yeah! That was my activity with the [Undertaker] that night. I got to kiss the Undertaker on those cheeks. There you go.”
