• Jim Ross Comments On Coming Up With ‘Booger Red’ Name For The Undertaker
During a recent edition of The Jim Ross Report, WWE Hall Of Famer Jim Ross talked about coming up with ‘Booger Red’ name for The Undertaker.
Below is what Good Ol’ JR said:
“Of all the names that I threw out there, some stuck and some didn’t. This one did not, obviously. If it did, it stuck in a bad way. But the Booger Red definition is very simple and this is a very often asked question.
Booger Red was in reference to the great Texas linebacker, the late Tommy Nobis. Tommy Nobis wore number 60. He had a 20-inch neck. He had red hair. And so all through school, because he was such a fierce hitter, at 6’3″, probably 245 [lbs.], linebacker, he was huge for that position in that era. He unhinged people.
His nickname was Booger Red. Well, if you look in the dictionary for what a booger is, it’s not something that you go look for with you index finger in your nose. Booger means a goblin or something like that, a scary person or a scary entity specifically, so I thought, ‘well, this might stretch out there and make something.’ Taker is that macabre type of figure and Booger Red was kind of a tribute to his Texas heritage. And, basically, what happened is that it s*** the bed and so that’s where we are. And that’s who Booger Red was.
It was trying to use a little football and Tommy Nobis was the baddest of the bad. There was nobody like him. He’d tear you apart, blah, blah, blah. Taker’s the same way in his world. And Taker, of course, had red hair. Anyway, the more you explain it the more crappy it is.”
