The Undertaker Shares Which WWE Hall Of Famer Had A Fiery Temper

In a recent episode of his podcast “Six Feet Under,” WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker shed light on wrestling legend, Gorilla Monsoon. The Deadman’s revelations offer a glimpse into the backstage atmosphere of WWE during the early 1990s, particularly when things didn’t go according to plan.

Gorilla Monsoon, a name synonymous with WWE broadcasting, left an indelible mark on the industry. So much so that the backstage area where wrestlers enter and exit the arena is still known as the “Gorilla Position” in his honour. While The Undertaker admitted to not having personal anecdotes about Monsoon, he was well aware of the commentator’s formidable reputation behind the curtain.

Everyone knows that the Gorilla Position was named after Gorilla Monsoon. I don’t have a specific story about Gorilla other than when something went wrong, good Lord could that man scream and yell and cuss.

The Phenom painted a vivid picture of Monsoon’s reactions to on-air mishaps or scheduling issues. According to The Undertaker, Monsoon’s outbursts were legendary, sparing no one from his wrath.

He would let people have it. Whether it be on headset or talent, it was F-bomb laced with just visceral hate. If something went wrong and it had to fit into the show or something like that.

What stood out in The Undertaker’s recollection was Monsoon’s impartiality when it came to dressing down those responsible for errors. Regardless of their status or position within the company, if someone made a mistake that affected the show, they were subject to Monsoon’s verbal tirades.

The Undertaker’s memories weren’t all about Monsoon’s backstage demeanour. He also reminisced about the commentator’s unique on-air style, which often left both viewers and fellow wrestlers entertained and occasionally puzzled.

I remember when he was commentating and if someone got hit in the back of the head and he’d say ‘oh he got hit in the medulla oblongata!’ He’s got people looking in the encyclopaedia to see what he was talking about.

This distinctive approach to calling matches, peppered with medical terminology and obscure references, became a source of amusement for the wrestlers.

He would throw things in on commentary sometimes that would be really entertaining because no one had any clue what he was talking about.
