Former WWE wrestler Luther Reigns admits taking multiple pain pills affected his performance during match against Undertaker, leading to Michael Hayes' criticism backstage.
Luther Reigns shared details about a problematic match he had with The Undertaker during his WWE tenure. The former WWE star discussed this experience during his appearance on Café De René with René Duprée.
Reigns explained that medication affected his in-ring performance against Undertaker in 2005.
When I wrestled Taker, I blew up, right? It was supposed to go like 14 minutes and it went 11. So here’s what happened, I did a bunch of pain pills before I went out. Those pain pills, they cause respiratory suppression. I didn’t know that at the time. So I was just popping f*cking pain pills left and right and I popped like 10 before I went out to the ring, and then after like 11 minutes, I blew up and Taker told me, he said, ‘Punch me.’ I said, ‘Taker, I got nothing.’ He’s like, ‘Ah, f*ck.’ I don’t know if he held it against me but, he wasn’t that happy, you know? And Michael Hayes was the agent for that match. So when I went backstage, Michael Hayes kind of, you know, got in my ass a little bit.
