"He could impose his will when he wanted to," said the 7 times World Champion. He also discussed his friendship with Yokozuna.
The Undertaker had been a seven times WWE World Champion
“Yeah, Yoko and I were very close. There’s not a day that goes by where I don’t think about him. It just happened to be that Yokozuna and I were close. We spent a lot of time playing dominoes and playing cards. That’s the origins of the famous BSK, dominoes, and a group of like-minded guys that hang out together. I really miss him and the good times that we shared together.”
"It would be funny because, if I won at cards before we went out (and wrestled each other), it was going to be a long night for me. He might sit on that Banzai drop longer than normal if I had taken a few bucks off of him while we were playing cards.”
The Undertaker and Yokozuna had multiple matches in WWE during the New Gen Era
"Yoko was a different kind of cat. There wasn’t a whole lot you could do to him. Basically, what I tried to do to him to get back at him was to run around the ring to chase me. Try to make him tired. That’s about all I could do, because Big Rod was a man’s man. You know those Samoans, man, they don’t play.”
