Bob Barker did the Undertaker sit up thing in Happy Gilmore... 20 years ago. People know who Taker is. Right outside the top 5, 6 or 7 at the lowest. I haven't seen the movie, but Undertaker's sit up spot was more famously done by Michael Myers in the original Halloween (which is probably what influenced Taker in the first place). And, after Michael Myers did it in Halloween, it became something of a horror movie trope; Jason Voorhees has undoubtedly done it as well. The scene in Happy Gilmore most likely isn't a reference to The Undertaker.

Normally I'd agree with you. But with Sandler's history of using Wrestlers in his movies. Plus showing up ringside at multiple events over the years. I really want to believe that it is based on Taker

I really want to believe that it is based on Taker Even then, that would only seem to suggest that Sandler is a wrestling fan. It wouldn't necessarily prove that Taker is well known by the general public.

I think more people know who Undertaker is than John Cena.
Which is saying something because a hell of a lot of people know who John Cena is.

Most non-fans in Norway have only heard about Hogan or The Rock.
