MISC News The night Undertaker was stopped at gunpoint, how one legendary tag team got their gimmick By Jason Powell Oct 25, 2009 - 01:49 PM Email This Article | Printer Friendly Page Send Us News & Results | Back to Main Listing Former TNA creative team member Dutch Mantel teased a chapter in his forthcoming book that will recall the time he and Undertaker were stopped at gunpoint. "This is about a wild night that the Undertaker and I were riding peacefully back home and were stopped and detained by 3 Kentucky Highway Patrolmen and 5 county deputies on Interstate 65 North at GUNPOINT." Mantel also recalled how Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson received their name during his latest blog. "As this particular trip started, (Jerry) Lawler, at the time, was booking the territory. As we talked on the way to Louisville, Lawler mentioned to me that he was bringing in Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson as a team but he needed something for them that was different. He needed them to have a gimmick. "He asked did I have any suggestions. I, at first suggested that to be really different, they could wrestle naked. That would be really different I thought. But, after some thought, we decided that there were probably laws and stuff prohibiting that kind of athletic behavior. "So we started slinging ideas back and forth but came up with nothing with any substance to it. I still liked the naked wrestling idea. I already had a name for the team. The Streakers. We talked back and forth for over an hour and we still didn't have anything that we thought would work. I would throw an idea and Lawler wouldn't like it."

Powell's POV: Another great read from Dutch, who ran through a long list of chapters that will appear in his forthcoming book. As much as I enjoy the blogs, I want him to hurry the hell up and get the book out! Seriously, his blogs are great and I'm sure the book will be even better. I'll keep you posted when he announces the book information.
