Fallon pretended like that&#8217;s not possible on short notice, then Taker&#8217;s gong played in the studio. Taker&#8217;s entrance music played, the blue fog light filled the stage area, and Taker emerged from behind the curtain in full ring gear.<\/p>\n<p>Taker slowly made his B.A. entrance\u00a0in the darkness, to the amazement of the studio audience, as a man in a turkey suit began gobbling around him to laughs. Taker then scooped up the mascot and dropped him with a Tombstone. Taker folded the man&#8217;s arms in his\u00a0classic pinfall pose and a bell sounded off-camera.<\/p>\n<p>Fallon approached Taker to shake his hand, but Taker glared down at him as if to indicate Fallon was next in a comical moment. Fallon stepped back and plugged WWE&#8217;s Survivor Series PPV on the WWE Network, where WWE celebrates the 25th anniversary of The Undertaker.<\/p>\n<p>Fallon ran off-stage, then Taker&#8217;s music played and he walked back toward the curtain to wrap the segment and send the show to commercial break.<\/p>\n<p>Taker did not say any words, allowing the entrance, his size, the Tombstone, a well-placed glare tell the story in a fun bit. N.Y. Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist preceded Taker in a\u00a0Thanksgiving-themed suggestion.<\/p>\n<p>On Twitter, former WWE Head of Talent Relations Jim Ross had fun with Taker&#8217;s stare down of Jimmy Fallon&#8230;<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3300192543\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">My payoff was WHAT?!<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WWE?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@wwe<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jimmyfallon?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@jimmyfallon<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ZAHLAYSZU6\">pic.twitter.com\/ZAHLAYSZU6<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Jim Ross (@JRsBBQ) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JRsBBQ\/status\/664669584549482496?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 12, 2015<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>WWE CEO Vince McMahon also chimed in on Twitter.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">How did <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jimmyfallon?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@jimmyfallon<\/a> land <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Undertaker?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Undertaker<\/a>? <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/HesAGenius?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#HesAGenius<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/c3ATDQeTaQ\">https:\/\/t.co\/c3ATDQeTaQ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Vince McMahon (@VinceMcMahon) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/VinceMcMahon\/status\/664876288029642752?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 12, 2015<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/youtu.be\/MFiRImul_d0<\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1570485565\"><div id=\"pwtor-2711986438\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>The Undertaker made a special appearance on the &#8220;Tonight Show starring\u00a0Jimmy Fallon&#8221; Wednesday night on NBC.\u00a0Included was Taker delivering a Tombstone to a guy in a turkey suit.
