Things get pretty crazy in WWE and it doesn’t stop after the in-ring action is over either. Nowadays WWE Superstars enjoy playing video games and you can tune into Xavier Woods’ UpUpDownDown Youtube channel to see that hilarity.
But before there were video games, the old standards like poker and dominoes was pretty much all they had to entertain themselves. As it turns out, those games could get plenty intense as well, especially if Kane and The Undertaker were involved.
Former member of The Mean Street Posse, Pete Gas appeared on The Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast where he told one story about backstage gaming from his new book “Looking Up at the Lights: My Path from a Nobody to a Wrestling Heel.” Apparently, it could get pretty scary while playing Dominoes backstage with the Brothers Of Destruction.
“It was sink or swim, we knew some things like you shake everyone’s hand when you get there and when you leave, that respect, you show it or you won’t last too long. As far as Taker goes, he was always there and helpful. I played dominoes against Taker and Kane. I started off just watching and then they needed someone to fill in and I covered and was with Godfather and I still have the same set now.”
“We would be playing and one of the stories in the book I talk about one game. Every time Kane threw a domino in this specific game I would score points off him and Taker was getting on at him, and we are getting close and he looks at me and said if you score on me again I will chase you and beat your ass. He puts it down and Taker knows so finally I slammed it and said ‘Domino Mother F-er!’ and he chased me and he wouldn’t stop and he caught me and pounded me. That’s the part you miss the most.”
