The Undertaker Joins Genoa FC: A New Chapter for the Phenom in Serie A
In a plot twist no one saw coming, The Undertaker—yes, that Undertaker, the towering WWE legend with the ominous theme music and 30 years of choke-slamming history—is swapping the squared circle for the soccer pitch. Genoa FC, one of Italy’s oldest and proudest football clubs, has signed the Deadman to bolster their squad. While the move has left football and wrestling fans equally baffled, Genoa insists that Undertaker’s wrestling skills will make him a game-changer in Serie A.
Standing at 6’10” and sporting his iconic black trench coat, The Undertaker made his first appearance at Genoa’s training ground to chants of “Rest in Peace” from confused fans. But the Deadman looked surprisingly comfortable juggling a ball… while simultaneously tombstoning a training dummy. Genoa’s manager was all smiles:
"He brings something we’ve been missing—intimidation. Opponents might dribble past us, but can they survive a chokeslam in the penalty box?"
As a center-back, Undertaker’s height and strength make him the ultimate last line of defense. Incoming strikers who try to get past him quickly find themselves hoisted into the air before being gently (but firmly) placed outside the touchline. Critics argue it’s technically a foul, but Genoa insists it’s "creative tackling."
Set pieces are now Genoa’s most dangerous weapon. At every corner kick, Undertaker lifts a teammate onto his shoulders for a WWE-inspired "Last Ride Header." The duo essentially becomes a 12-foot tall goal-scoring machine. Juventus is reportedly filing a complaint, claiming this tactic is "inhuman."
After scoring, Undertaker honors his WWE roots by tombstoning a dummy dressed as the opposing team’s mascot. Fans have dubbed it the “goal celebration of the year,” although some children in the stands have reportedly been traumatized.
Undertaker’s presence extends beyond the pitch. Known for his stoic demeanor and imposing presence, he has revitalized Genoa’s locker room. Late for training? That’s a “rest in peace” glare. Miss an open goal? Expect to see fog machines and an eerie bell toll as a reminder to "do better next time."
One teammate, however, expressed his admiration:
"Honestly, we’ve never been more disciplined. No one wants to argue with a guy who stares like he’s about to bury you alive. Plus, he makes a mean lasagna."
Adapting to football hasn’t been without its hiccups. Undertaker has been booked five times already this season, mostly for "excessive force" when attempting slide tackles (read: clotheslines). Opposing players have also raised concerns about his entrance to the field, which involves walking out of a coffin surrounded by pyro and druids.
Still, Genoa fans remain optimistic:
"He may not be fast, but he’s terrifying. Sometimes, that’s all you need."
While it’s too early to predict how The Undertaker’s career with Genoa will unfold, one thing is certain: Serie A will never be the same. Whether it’s scaring penalty takers into missing or turning the midfield into his personal "Graveyard of Dreams," the Deadman has brought a theatrical flair to Italian football.
And who knows? If this works out, maybe Kane could join Lazio for a tag team showdown.
