In short

Undertaker (Mark Calaway) answers fan questions about Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi at SummerSlam/Hell in a Cell, his favorite Brock memories, Vince McMahon advice and disagreements, and career “what-ifs” (WCW, Sting, NWO, Curtain Call). He also shares stories about Bruiser Brody, Paul Bearer, Yokozuna, and supernatural Undertaker moments, plus Ministry of Darkness creative.

Guests/backgrounds

Solo episode; Undertaker is the only speaker. No co-hosts or additional guests are interviewed.

Key claims

  • Predicts Oba beats Brock in a Hell in a Cell “classic,” favoring momentum over Brock’s late-match experience.
  • Vince’s best advice: “Perception is reality,” after Undertaker roughened an extra talent and Vince confronted him publicly.
  • Undertaker and Vince argued often; biggest “fight” Undertaker says he won was the Punjabi Prison cage escape spot (Vince later admitted Undertaker was right).
  • Sting vs. Undertaker never happened because Vince “did not see it” / didn’t want it, despite Undertaker calling it a “home run.”
  • Undertaker considered jumping to WCW after Kevin Nash urged it, but stayed because Vince believed in him and WWE mattered more than immediate money.

Notable examples

  • Brock/Undertaker backstage fight that made both more aggressive.
  • Undertaker’s “sarcastic double laugh” moment with Brock that changed character perception.
  • Bruiser Brody advice: “Loosen up, kid,” plus Brody endorsing Undertaker to bookers after their first match.

  • Yokozuna convoy story: gangster rap cassette + heat/radio chaos while driving.
  • Undertaker supernatural feats: appearing in an empty casket and surviving being buried alive; also lightning.

0:00If the world were like a Sleep Number mattress, everything would adapt for your comfort. Your coffee would never get cold. Your flight would always be on time. And your mattress would always respond to you and your unique sleep needs. Sleep Number mattresses are designed to respond to your body and shift with your changing life, helping you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. To experience a whole new world of comfort, visit a Sleep Number store or go to sleepnumber.com. Sleep Number. To a good life's sleep. I think the engine's stalling out on me. Yeah, that don't sound right. Dang, got a lot more miles to go.

0:38Nah, be okay, mate. You ride with GEICO Motorcycle Insurance and got their 24-7 emergency roadside service. They'll be here with a tow in no time. Good, because these boots weren't made for walking. Those riding boots are pretty sweet. Oh, you like? Do you think they come in a size one inch? I don't know. It feels good to ride with help. It feels good to GEICO. Emergency roadside service is optional coverage. And then when it became the corporate ministry, it was just like...

1:07Yeah, it sucked. It really did. I hated it.

1:25Welcome to Six Feet Under, a WWE and Fanatics original production. Well, I'm solo today, but today we're going to change things up. we've been getting a lot of questions. So we're going to dip into the mailbag and see what you guys have to say or ask. What is your prediction for Brock Lesnar versus Oba Finney at SummerSlam? What is my prediction for Brock and Oba? Man.

1:59That is a tough one. You know, I think selfishly, I want to see Oba take Brock out in Hell in a Cell. Me personally, I didn't have that great a record against Brock in Hell in a Cell. But, man, that's one of those super fight things, man. That's one of those fights like, man, I want to see what's going to happen here. Oba has this incredible aura right now. and all this momentum. He's new to the scene, and he has all that energy behind him from the fans. I just hope that he doesn't get too distracted by the entrance and the walk and all that. All that's great, and he gets an incredible reaction.

2:57but again to to have long-term success you've got to be able to deliver night in and night out in the ring um i think the table is set for him to be a huge superstar um it's just going to be a matter of uh channeling his and keeping his focus uh on the big prize and uh again if he gets through Brock and then the next thing is a shot at a world title. But I think he's one of those guys that the sky's the limit and I'm anxious to see how far he takes this. But I hope that doesn't distract him from what will be standing across the ring from him. Even in the later part now of Brock's career, he's still obviously one of the most dangerous guys to be in the ring with.

3:59And not only that, he's going to be in his hometown, which I think is going to give him a little extra pep in his step. Oh, man. I tell you what, that's a coin toss. Oba at Mania manhandles Brock. Brock comes back. I think maybe if Brock – got to go back and forth on that. I think Oba will do better the shorter the match goes. I think if it gets into the later 15, 20, 25-minute mark, Brock's experience. Yeah, I think Brock's experience probably will serve him well here. Flip of the coin, I'm going to go with the momentum. I say Oba wins in a Hell in a Cell classic. Do you have a favorite moment with Brock Lesnar?

5:06A favorite moment with Brock? Um, man, uh, you know, Brock is one of those guys that I didn't, I didn't have a, a great deal of success with. Well, I think two very iconic moments that this happened with, with Brock and I, um, one was the, the, we had a backstage fight that it took its toll, not only on, on each of us, but all of the people that were, uh, were trying to, to break it up. Yeah, it was a pretty good piece of business where we were knocking the crap out of each other. And, you know, that was one thing that I always felt Brock brought out of me was that little extra bit of aggression.

5:51Because you have to have that against Brock. You have to go into a match with Brock knowing that it's going to be twice as physical and he's going to test you and your physical limits. and that backstage brawl that we had did that. And the other one, which is completely out of my character, but the setup into the double laugh, it was just one of those things that happened. Normally when I would set up, there would not be someone there with a grin on their face. so you know I think he was I think he was trying to get in my head and then you know when I laughed back at him it was kind of a sarcastic that ain't gonna work with me kid and I think it was so out of character for not only Brock but it was definitely out of my character and Undertaker can't laugh in a joyous or or funny way.

6:59That doesn't work. But I think the sarcastic laugh, it really was like, took the character to even a different place that no one had ever seen. And as strange as it was and out of nowhere it came, I think it was, again, it's one of those iconic moments that people talk about still today. After all the wars and all the fights and all the matches that we had, I think that's one of the things that, you know, obviously him, you know, him beating the streak was probably the first thing. But that that that return match and the double set up and laughing has got to be. I think one of the second things that people think of most when they think of Brock and Undertaker.

7:47What's the best piece of advice that Vince McMahon ever gave you? You know what? I guess it would have to be that perception is reality. That really stuck with me throughout my career. And it was brought on by me being somewhat of an asshole to an extra talent. not, you know, just kind of set the stage. I was working, we, this is back before, this was way back before Raw had even started. And our television matches were usually against extras or for the old school guys, jobbers. I don't think that's politically correct anymore. You can't use the word jobbers. You offend the, you offend the extras.

8:47But anyway, extra talent. And the kid, like we've all kind of been there in that spot. But when you're you have to consider this is the early 90s and I'm trying to and I'm not making an excuse. I was out of line, but I'm just giving you context for the mindset. It's like you are trying to get over and get your foot in the door and continue to climb up that ladder. And we didn't have, again, we didn't have the marquee matches on TV. We had these matches against our extra talent. And I was in the ring with a kid that probably shouldn't have been there. and anyway, through the course of the match, he is extremely nervous.

9:41I'm pretty sure it was his hometown

9:49and nerves and being in front of probably family and friends and all that, it does affect you, especially, again, early on in your career. and we're in this match and uh you know things he's he could hardly move i think he was so nervous and you know of course during while you're in that you don't really think about those things like you don't think about how nervous he is or what his experience level is you're just expecting to go out there and do your moves, do your move set, and get yourself over. That was the mindset of the guys that were the main talent. And this match, it started out bad and progressively got worse.

10:42Obviously, I'm a young guy at that time too, so frustration kind of took over my mindset because I'm thinking this guy's making me look bad and I probably took a, I wouldn't say I took liberties, but I was a little rougher with the guy because I was frustrated than I should have been. And get through the match and go all that and I come backstage and go through the group position there where Vince is standing up waiting on me. And, um, you know, as I go up to Vince and I start complaining about this kid, man, he lays into me like, you know, what was that? That's not what we do here. You should be, you know, you know, you should know better.

11:36You should be better. You know? And again, now I'm, I'm starting to push back a little bit. Like, I don't know who put this kid in the ring. He shouldn't be in the ring. He shouldn't do this. All of this. So Vince and I are going kind of back and forth. And that's when he hit me with it. He says, you know, Mark, let me tell you something. Perception is reality. And the perception is that you're a giant asshole. Now he said this in the, you know, and there were several people, there were several people in the gorilla position and listening to this exchange between the two of us. And I think that was part of Vince's plan as well.

12:19I think he wanted me to feel embarrassed, but his message definitely sank in. And I realized right away what he was saying, and it was true. And yeah, that just stuck with me for the rest of my career. And it helped me when I was around other talent to, you know, kind of pass that along to them because it happened quite a bit. And, you know, I just remember how I felt and, um, and, and it just changed my perspective on, you know, people that I was in the ring with, because you're not always going to be in a ring with a Shawn Michaels or, uh, you know, or, or, or a stone cold or Kurt angle or, you know, so, So, yeah, that was a really valuable piece of advice he gave me there and something I carry to this day.

13:17Without Vince's tutelage, do you think you would have been the locker room leader? I don't know. I obviously Vince was, you know, he was definitely a mentor to me and, again, helped me learn how to conduct myself. Um, but I, I just, for me, there was, you know, as I matured and, and, and came up through the business and I, and as I was around, um, other talent that had been there longer than me and, you know, saw the way they conducted themselves good or bad. Like I just had this, this, my, this imagery in my head of how, how business should work and how it should run. And, um, And, you know, there's a lot of things that factor into that.

14:11Of course, Vince was amazing with me and the things that he taught me. And I'm sure that it probably helped considerably, you know, in becoming the locker room leader. That wasn't anything that I ever, you know, I never thought about being that. I mean, I guess it just happened, and that's the way people perceive me. But I just had all these experiences, and good and bad, and I just – and as I come up the ladder and my status, I guess, came up, it was important for me to help people, I guess, try and not make some of the same mistakes that I did. and when I would see them heading in that path towards maybe making some bad decisions, I felt like it was my duty to, you know what, if I could say something now, this might not be such a bad situation later.

15:19So I think a lot of the younger guys especially appreciated that because I think they knew the era in which I come up and the guys that I had dealt with early on in my WWE run, Vince and I had a lot of conversations about a lot of things. Not all were business. Some things were personal, but everything, I guess, kind of ties in together. It's hard to say. There's a lot of things that I probably wouldn't have learned, and I would have made more mistakes and might have been more, I guess more or not more, but I guess I would have been less proactive in helping guys and and seeing, you know, trying to stop them from making the same mistakes that I did.

18:08do you remember the biggest fight you ever had with Vince McMahon the biggest argument fight that I had with Vince my goodness I gotta I now I got again I gotta run through that 30-year Rolodex and I think I think people's perception is that me and Vince were in lockstep together through that whole 30 years, but we butted heads a lot. Yeah. Sometimes our visions on, um, on the product and the business were polar opposites. And, um, you know, there, there were a lot of times where, you know, I would choose the hill that I wanted to, to die on. And a lot of my, you know, I'd have to assess like, okay, if I do this, like I would think, okay, well, this needs to be done this way.

18:57This is how he wants me to do it. Like, okay, do I do it? Is this the hill that I'm going to, you know, I'm going to fight him on or do I just wait? Um,

19:13I don't know. This was the biggest one. I will, I will, I will give you an argument that, that I fought and I lost, but this was the only time that he ever came back to me and said that I was right and he was actually wrong. Out of 30 years, there was one time. And that was the Punjabi prison match. It was originally supposed to be with Kali. Kali had something going on and they had to put Big Show in the match. And Vince had this idea about he wanted us to go through the gate or something while we were fighting, and that's how I would get out of the cage. I had the idea that I wanted to jump from the inner cage to the outer cage and get out that way.

20:00I thought, man, that'll be such a cool visual. I said, they won't expect it. It'll look amazing. And we went at it and back and forth. And it finally got to the point I don't want to hear anything else about it. This is the way we're going to do it. Fine. It's going to suck. And when it sucks, it's going to be on you. But he didn't appreciate that either. But anyway, we did it the way he wanted it. And it was flat. I mean, it was like, womp, womp, womp, womp. And so I go back and I just looked at him. I didn't have to say a word. I didn't, he knew. and he goes almost under his breath he goes yeah yeah I think you were right on that uh cage spot and I was like really he just turned around and walked off but that was such a that was such a uh a victory for me to actually have him admit that he was wrong on something um didn't happen very often and there and there was another time this wasn't so much as an argument as it was almost a physical fight.

21:14And, uh, I, I, this is at the end of my career when I was only working, you know, two, three times a year. And, uh, I showed up, uh, and I wasn't even there. I think, I think, I think the, uh, I think, I don't know if it was raw or SmackDown was, was here, my hometown and I just went up there to see him. Been going through a bunch of stuff personally and having a time outside of the business. It was a rough time in my life and a lot of things going on. And I went into his office just to say hello and see how he was doing and anyway we we get to talking and i kind of start going off and you know telling him all this stuff and he looks at me and it was as straight a face as it could be he goes you know what mark i really think you need to quit feeling sorry for yourself

22:30I was like what? He said yeah you're feeling sorry for yourself man up

22:40there was a sense of rage that come over me at that moment like man we I thought me and you are friends and like I'm just I'm talking to you as a friend I'm not talking to you as my boss and I'm just letting you know what's going on in my life.

23:02And again, he was right. And it dawned on me later, but I did tell him, I was like, you know, if you were anybody else, anybody else, we'd probably be fighting right now. No one talks to me like that. You don't talk to me like that. He said, well, damn it, somebody needs to. I'm like, man, you are really pushing it. And eventually I said, well, I just came in to say hello. I get up and I walk out. And it dawns on me after I calmed down, like, you know what? Get your shit together. Handle your business. But then we laughed about it a few weeks down the road. and I think I finally called him. I was like, you know what?

23:56I still wish I'd have whipped your ass, but I think you're right. You're damn right I was. Good to have you back. Yeah, whatever. But, I mean, he was just – you know what? He knew with me. I guess he knew when to – he knew when I needed a foot in the ass or whether I needed a hug. He was always pretty much right on all of that stuff. And I appreciate his frankness and his candor sometimes, although maybe not in the moment. But once I would calm down and really think about things, I realized, damn it, the old man was right again. Which wrestling veteran gave you the best advice? Wow. The guy that gave me the best advice.

24:56I don't know that I have just one guy that gave me the best advice. I think there was a lot of guys that contributed to the way that I worked and the way I conducted myself. like Jake the Snake, one of the things that he made really clear to me, he's just like, your match starts from the time you walk out onto that stage. And at that time, I'd never thought about it that way. And I was like, you're right. So I mean, that little bit of advice, especially with my character and how I presented it, I mean, that was like, wow, that is, that's brilliant and again you know there were there were lots of lots of guys that you know just give me little tidbits here and there and um you know not always not directly like sometimes you just sometimes you overhear things or sometimes you just watch things happen and And like, oh, man, he's thinking on a different level.

26:06And some of the best advice I gave was my very first match I had with Bruiser Brody. That advice was, loosen up, kid. Which I didn't really understand. And he explained it to me in a pretty extreme way. But, again, it's hard to narrow down all the advice that I've gotten. It's not what you make. It's what you save. That's the old promoter's line of crap when you complain about a payoff. Do you have a favorite Bruiser Brody story? The only interaction that I had on a personal level with Brody was in that first match that I had in world-class wrestling. And Brody was one of those guys, before I got into the business, as I watched wrestling, he was just somebody that I was always kind of drawn to.

27:13He was kind of a bigger-than-life guy. He was a big brawler, and he had this crazy hair and this furry boots, and you could tell he could go. You know, then, you know, from watching it to being in the ring with him is like, okay, this is a pretty surreal moment. And then to actually kind of get manhandled and my ass kicked by him, which, you know, it is what it is. It's probably not my proudest moment, but it taught me several lessons about how to conduct myself in a wrestling ring. I guess the thing that's probably the coolest for me was backstage after that match. Again, he worked me over pretty good, but it was still, I just had my first match, and then my first match was with Bruiser Brody.

28:15So that's a pretty cool moment. I remember going over to his dressing room, and I was just like, well, yeah, he kicked my ass and smartened me up a little bit, but I felt obligated that I should thank him for having the match, which I did, and the response was, I thanked him for the match, And he was like, yeah, no problem, kid. You know, just loosen up a little bit out there, will you? And that was it. But I did overhear him telling, I think at the time it was Gary Hart was booking in world class. And I do remember hearing him say to Gary Hart, what are y 'all going to do with that kid that I worked with?

29:00And they were trying to ship me off somewhere else. and hearing Brody tell Gary Hart that if I were you guys, I'd keep him and I'd send some of these other guys. And I was like, wow, that was an incredible endorsement, you know, from somebody who carried a lot of stroke in the business and obviously somebody that I respected. So hearing that that's the way he felt, you know, after what I thought was a pretty rough match, you know that that that stayed with me for a long time to this day really what piece of advice do you give to rookie wrestlers i do have a lot of guys that come up to me and ask for advice you know in what they're doing in the matches you know it and it's funny i think sometimes there is a genuine i think there's a there's a a genuine they want to know what I think.

30:00And then there's also part of them that thinks that, well, they, this is what I should do. Um, so trying to, to, to kind of dissect that, cause there's nothing worse for me than somebody come up and just give me lip service. It just, it infuriates me that, you know, guys think, okay, well, you know, takers here, I need to go, you know, act like I I give a shit about what he has to say. And, you know, this is what is expected of me. There is that part, but then there is that part that, you know, that guys want to get better. And why would you not, if there's a stone cold there or a Shawn Michaels or Kurt angles or whoever that has had, um, you know, immense success, why would you not want to pick their brain and get their feedback on what you're doing?

30:49but when I feel that people are genuine, then I will, I will watch their stuff and, and make mental notes and, and give them what I think. Um, you know, a lot of times I can be harsh. Um, but I think that's, that's kind of the only way to really reach people at, at, at sometimes I genuinely care about this business and how it's presented. and um you know there there again there's that certain part that just want to get put over they just want you to say oh man that's great stuff you know you're looking good and then there's that other point guys that wants the okay what did i do wrong where what and you know and then you give them something like you know right here in this situation and you did this and then you did this.

31:43Did you ever think about maybe if you would have done it this way? And then, then when you get that, you can see it in their eye when the light goes off in their head, like, Oh, now, you know, that they're engaged and it's, you know, and then when you see them work again, and they, they apply, you know, some of the, of the coaching, then, you know, okay, all right, this guy, this guy, understand this guy gets it. He wants to be better. Um, but again, if, if there's talent out there that wants to get better, genuinely wants to get better, I, uh, by all means, I hope they come to me and they ask me and they, and they, you know, again, they have to accept the fact that anything negative that I might say is not, it's not a personal attack.

32:37Like most of these guys, I don't know. I don't, I don't have relationships with most of these guys, but we do have, you know, we are linked together in this business. And, you know, if you want my opinion, I'll, I'll give it to you. It may not be what you want to hear. Those are the concepts that work for me. And, um, you know, you have to figure, they have to figure that out. Like they have to figure out the concept that I'm talking about, but then they have to figure out how to make it work for them. Wrestling business is not, is, is not easy. It is not an easy thing to figure out because you could have three guys.

33:15You could have three guys. I will say Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Kurt Angle. They can all give you advice, and each one of their advice could be completely different, and they all can be completely 100 % right, and you look and you think like, okay, these guys all gave me different advice on the same thing. And then you look and you're like, and each of those things worked. You have to be able to consume advice, but then you have to figure out how to make it work for what you do and what your presentation is. It's not easy. It's a very difficult thing to do. So, young guys, if the old-timers give you advice, listen and then figure it out.

What's your favorite memory of working with Stone Cold Steve Austin? my favorite memory of working with steve honestly we didn't have a lot of uh like pay-per-views or really really intense one-on-one angles we did some we did some stuff but um one of my favorite things working with steve well you one you definitely were going to be on top right you're definitely in the you're definitely in a top spot if you're working with steve that was always good.

35:59Your payoffs were going to be good. Your reactions, your fan reactions are going to be amazing. I enjoyed working with Steve more in house shows than I did on TVs or, or, or pay-per-views in, in the house shows back in the day. I mean, that's when you really got to go out and be creative and be spontaneous and just really, really just do the, do the craft of professional wrestling. Um, and it was always so, it was so fun with him because his character is intense as it was, you know, he could be a funny son of a bitch in the ring. He just could. He would do shit. Like I remember out of nowhere once doing old school to me, but with a Steve twist to it, like where I would old school on the top rope, Steve old schooled on the bottom rope with who did everything exactly the same, except he just did it off of the bottom rope.

37:13and uh you know it's just one of those things like you get caught in the middle of a match and somebody does something off the wall like that and you're just like dude come on but you know that's that that was what some of the you know doing being in the house shows you could you could do some things like that here and there and and funny enough like you it just helps you those kind of things it it breaks a little bit of the uh monotony sometimes of being on the road for as long as we were back then.

37:48Yeah, with Steve, those were my favorite moments. Those were my second favorite moments. Going to the mailbox and getting the check after working with Steve, that was probably my favorite moment. What is the funniest thing you saw Paul Barrett do? I don't know if it was the funniest thing that Paul ever did. it was probably one of the funnier things that happened to Paul. So this is right after Paul had betrayed me and went with mankind. I mean, this is way back. We didn't have the same security at this point as we do today. Like today, our security is awesome. But there were a time where we didn't have anybody.

38:29We would sometimes have to park across the street from some of these civic arenas and stuff like that. And, you know, the, the, the fans had complete access to us and, um, you know, you had to deal with, with that. And I remember I pulled up to the arena, I pull up to the arena and I'm getting my bag out of the back of the rental car. And, um, this girl appears like, I mean, just like, boom, she was right there. And she goes, this has been a long time ago. I'm trying to get, I don't know if I was, she referred to me as Lord Undertaker or Lord of Darkness, something like, it was like, oh boy.

39:19And I turn, right? Because I'm a little taken back that someone's right up on me. But, you know, she goes, I will follow you anywhere. And then she pulls her top down and shows the top of her, I think it was her left breast where she had a gigantic tattoo of my face. And I'm like, oh, this is a nut bird right here. Yeah. So I was like, yeah, okay. I appreciate that. You know, I get my stuff and I go into the arena. So I'll go into the arena. and I think it was Arnie Skolan who was the agent. And he'd come up and he'd say, hey, kid, you got some flowers in the production office. So I was like, well, thanks, Arnie.

40:15So I go into the production office and there is like this giant bouquet of roses, spray-painted black. And then there's a package. It's all wrapped up really nice. So I left the flowers in the production office and I take the package and I go to the dressing room. So I opened this package up and it is a, I guess, a vial or like a container of that perfume was once in that, you know, the women, I guess they, it wasn't like a spray. It was like you, I guess you put it on the lid and then you put it on. I don't know what the official term for that is, but anyway, the perfume was all gone and it had been filled with blood.

41:09so I have a vial I guess or some kind of perfume container full of blood and now I'm like wow okay and I'm putting it all together like I'm sure that's my friend in the parking lot's blood so I'm showing everybody my my perfume bottle full of blood everybody's like you know because The blood was very unusual, but the flowers and a lot of the things that I got sent to me at the arenas back then were pretty interesting. I mean, I had some really cool stuff sent to me. But anyway, so everybody's freaking out about the perfume bottle full of blood. And anyway, we go out and I make my entrance and Paul Bearer is part of some, somehow or another, he's involved in this match.

42:10I don't know if I was working against whoever he was managing. I don't know if it was mankind at this point or not, but he was managing somebody or he came out and this girl that was in the parking lot is on the front row. and the next thing that I know, she jumps over the barricade and double legs Paul. She's got him wrapped up at the ankles. If you guys remember Paul, especially at this time period, he was a little top heavy and she's got him hooked and his feet are completely together. So his balance is not that great. And he is trying to get this girl off of him and she is not letting go. And I think she finally got him and took him down before the police could get there to take her and remove her from the building.

43:15But actually watching Paul fight this fan off was just, it was, you can't even, it was so funny. It was just one of those things like, am I actually really seeing this? Am I watching this fan double leg Paul Bearer and him fighting her off? It was really one of the funniest things that I can remember. he was fighting for his life and and i'm pretty sure i'm pretty sure he actually ended up going down and it was just i don't i don't think he heard the end of that for a long time being taken down and uh manhandled by this girl but uh yeah it was that's just one of those one of those paul bearer stories that kind of sticks in my mind and it was he was so you know the funny thing is he deserved it so much.

44:12Not only just for turning on me, but just in general, it couldn't have happened to a better person than Paul.

44:23What is your favorite Yokozuna memory? Oh my gosh, Yoko. My favorite memory with Yoko. I have so many fond memories of Yoko. I miss him To this day, I miss him so much. So this is later on, and I think this is after our run. So we weren't working against each other. But all of the BSK boys, we're all on the same loop. And we were in Tampa, and we had to go to, I want to say, I want to say Fort Lauderdale. So I don't know. There's like four or five, they're either Lincoln Town cars or Cadillacs. We've all rented. And we are cruising down to Fort Lauderdale. And I was by myself. We get out of Tampa.

45:16We pull over. And then Yoko, again, we aren't working together at this point. But it was just the way I did things. Anyway, Yoko ends up jumping in the car with me. And so we're all cruising in this convoy down the interstate and across Alligator Alley through Yeehaw Junction. The boys that work the Florida Territory will recognize all of those things. But anyway, so we're driving along. And like whoever is – I'm driving. So whoever is in the – there's a rule. the co-pilot can't sleep. The co-pilot is responsible for keeping the driver entertained and making sure that no one falls asleep while they're driving.

46:11I mean, that's just kind of the rule. So we're about 20 minutes down the road, and Yoko has put his – this is how far back it is – his cassette tape. He puts it in the player, and it's all of – this is like the early stages of gangster rap. I mean, he had the hard core stuff, and he had them all on these cassette tapes. So he puts this in. He put the tape in. He's got it cranked up, and then he's sitting there, and then he falls asleep. and I'm like I'm driving and now you know I'm listening to this and I'm like oh my gosh so you know turn the music down and then he wakes up he turns the music back up and I'm like yo come on man he goes no Marcus he's like this shit is good and I'm like no man it really isn't like this is not yeah at this point I'm a metalhead right like that's all I listen to but anyway it actually did grow on me.

47:21I have to, I have to admit, but at the time it was just like, come on between his snoring and, and the, and the, and the gangster rap was just not, it wasn't happening for me. So anyway, all right, I'm still driving. He falls back asleep again. I'm like, no, man, this ain't, this ain't, this ain't the way this is supposed to work. So So I take the tape out, and then I just put it on a radio station, and then I took it off of the radio station, and then I just put it on static. And I turned the radio up, I mean, really loud. And then I turned, and this is in the, we were in summer. I think it was like July, August, in Florida.

48:08So I turned the heat all the way up.

48:13and man, he is over there just cutting Zs and I'm driving and I'm sweating and I'm miserable, but I'm like, I know at some point he's going to wake up. And so I'm driving and he's over there sawing logs, but I look over there and I can see his forehead is all just beaded up with sweat and sweat starting to roll down. And I'm just like, I know he's going to wake up at any moment, right? So I'm just driving along. And then all of a sudden, And I was like, God damn it, Marcus. What are you doing? Right? So he's turning, like the radio's up. I mean, it's so loud. Like it was giving me a headache. So he's trying to figure out what's going on with the radio.

48:53Like he was out. So he's trying to figure out what's going on with the radio and why it's so hot in there. So he turns it all, you know, he figures it out. He gets the tape back playing down, the volume down a little bit. And he finally figures out that the heat's on full blast. He gets the air going back and on. He's cutting promos on me. Anyway, so everything kind of cools off again. Everything kind of goes back into the thing. He falls asleep again. So I do everything all over again. I take the tape out. I think this time I took the tape out and I threw it out the window. So it's statics playing on the radio.

49:31The heat's cranked up, man. And again, there I looked over and he is just like a waterfall. just wakes up. I think he actually physically hit me at that point, like a half-assed chop. And now I'm taking the car, now I'm swerving all over the road. We end up stopping for gas, I remember. And he got out of the car. He got in with somebody else. And I remember him asking me for his tape. And I told him that it fell out of the window. I didn't tell him I threw it, but he wasn't happy about that either. But just, you know what, that was such a – those were such fun times. The business was struggling.

50:18We'd lost a bunch of talent to WCW, and we were all just fighting to keep our head above water. Some of my fondest times in the WWE were here, and, again, we weren't making any money at all. But, man, the camaraderie and the guys and the stuff that we got to do together was, man, it was just an amazing time. And Yoko was such an incredible person and awesome friend. Man, it was really a shame that he was taken from us so soon. Again, I miss him. And I look back at times like that and just laugh sometimes because it's such an awesome time for a bunch of guys to be trying to survive and make a living and having a really good time while we did it.

51:12You know, on this show, we talk a lot about the grind, the history and what it took to build a legacy in this business. Guys like Austin, Rock, Sina, and obviously the women who completely revolutionized the division. Oh, thanks, babe. Nice of you to notice. But you're right. The history of WWE is unmatched. And for the fans who lived through those eras with us, that nostalgia is incredibly powerful. It really is. And if you want to represent that history, WWE Shop and Fanatics have the ultimate collection of official WWE Legends merchandise. They really do.

52:40How close did you actually come to go into WCW? We were going through such an incredibly difficult time. They were down there doing really cutting-edge stuff, more mature, I guess, for no better term, mature storylines and stuff that was much more mainstream. And we were, we had all of these, and I know this will sound funny coming from a character, but like we had these really just over the top characters that weren't really resonating well with, with the audience. And again, business was horrible. The direction at the time was horrible. And I remember talking with Kevin Nash, but he's like, Mark, man, you need to make that jump now.

53:31Like, you know, I think, I think, you know, you can, you know, this is, this is the kind of money, you know, they're handed out there. And I think, you know, you would, you, you could do well down here, you know? And I was like, you know, I listened to it. I would be lying if I didn't think like, wow, that's, again, we're, we're, we're working at the time we're working 20, 25 days a month and barely making enough money to survive. Um, it was difficult and I knew that they were, you know, they were down there giving money away, um, just so that talent wouldn't be available to WWE. And, um, I, so I listened and, and honestly, I, I, I, I considered it and, um, But at the end of the day, I just thought I'll never forget.

54:33And although the same people weren't in charge at WCW at this point, I'll never forget. And I've told the story many times. And obviously, people know this story really well. But being told that you'll never draw money in this business really struck a nerve with me. and the one guy that believed in giving me a chance, because Vince wasn't completely sold on me either, but the one guy that gave me a chance was Vince and the WWE. That meant more to me than the instant money that I could have made, which could have got me out of debt and all of those things. I knew I had confidence in the company, and I had confidence in Vince that this would, the ship would ride itself.

55:27And I would be down there and I would be miserable because I had made a poor decision. Vince believed in me and I felt obligated to stand by him even when business was so bad. But I knew that we could turn it around and I just like, you know what? it's a great deal, but I just can't, I can't do it. I got to stay here and I got to be part of something that's going to be, that's going to be huge. And that's what I believed. And that's exactly what ended up happening. When the NWO came back to WWE, what were your thoughts? You know, I thought it was a great idea. Vince is an incredible businessman.

56:19And where things would, like throughout time, throughout my time with Vince and WWE, there were a lot of things that come about where wrestlers had done this or had said this about him or said this about the WWE. and Vince always had that ability to like, you know what, what they can provide for us or what they can do for us at this point is far greater than what they've said about us. Like he was, when it comes to business, like he could get by the personal beef or whatever. Like he just, it was what, and, you know, I know it's kind of been said as a catchphrase, but what's best for business was a true statement with him.

57:13And all of those guys, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall and Hogan, I mean, those were all big names in our industry. And he felt that if they could tap into that stuff and bring it to WWE and help us, then he was all for it. So, you know, at this point, I mean, I trusted his judgment and the battle. We had already won the battle. So, you know, if they can help us, then, you know, let's go. You know, I didn't have personal beefs with, I didn't have any kind of personal beef with Nash or Scott. So, you know, I didn't care one way or another in that aspect. I mean, I didn't hold a grudge because they kicked our ass for so long.

57:57And I was just like, hey, if they make us better, I'm all for it. And that was Vince's. That's the way he looked at it, too. What was your take on the curtain call at MSG? I wasn't there. And it was probably a good thing that I wasn't. It goes against everything that I believe about the business, especially at the time that it happened. I thought it was selfish. I get it. I mean, these guys were, they were all best friends and they'd been through a lot together and traveled up and down the roads together. I mean, I get where they were coming from, but I just thought that they put themselves ahead of the business at that, for that time period.

58:41I think in today's product, I don't think it, you know, it's, it is what it is. But I mean, if it happened today, then it's just like, oh, well, yeah, you know, everybody's out of pocket about the business. You know, it's me included. I mean, I'm part of that. But, you know, it's just back then it was a different time and it was a different era. And, you know, I just looked at it as I thought it was a selfish move. And, you know, that's business. I don't care. I don't hold any personal grudges about it. You know, it's happened and we've moved on and the business has boomed. And, you know, it is what it is.

59:24But at the time, no, I didn't care for it at all. When Sting came to WWE, did you think you were finally going to have a match with him? And why didn't the match happen? Yeah, I mean, obviously, the people had already been clamoring for that match for a long time. And it seems like a no-brainer. Like, why on earth would you not do that? But for whatever reason, Vince did not see it. didn't like it, didn't want it. And I was like, man, this is a, this is a home run. This is an easy main event for a pay-per-view, but I don't really have an answer. Like I don't, like I never really had a in-depth conversation with Vince about why he didn't want to do it.

1:00:15My goodness, The Sting versus Undertaker. I mean, again, he obviously knows more about business than I do, but that one just seems like a home run that was just, you know, they decided to walk the guy instead of pitch to him. I don't know. I don't know what happened there. But, I mean, I don't have any regrets. It wasn't my decision. But, my goodness, I would have loved to have, you know, been able to have that match. And, you know, I guess it just wasn't meant to be. but what could have been? I mean, it really, it was, seemed like a no brainer, but it'll be now, it'll be discussed for the rest of time.

1:01:00A what if, a what if could have happened? What if, what if these two guys would have been able to do it? You know, but I remember running into, into staying, I think it was after the WrestleMania that we didn't work. I remember us being, we were on the same plane together talking, you know, I was like, I don't know.

1:01:26Like, this is beyond me. I don't know. I don't know why, you know, but it is what it is, man, I guess. Yeah, I think Sting, that's probably got to be the biggest miss of a WrestleMania. those two characters that would have done some incredible business i just you know i'm sorry i don't know wasn't me wasn't it wasn't me what was macho man randy savage like to work with uh he was intense man um he was a perfectionist like in the ring like he wanted to put on the absolute best match of the night and which that Those are the kind of people that you want to work with. And it didn't matter that it was in a house show or a live event, man.

1:02:16You always want to work with somebody that wants to go out and steal the show. And Mach's work ethic was just, man, it was incredible. I learned in those dark, man, I learned a lot about the intensity and how to react to someone with that kind of energy. And I wish we would have got to do a bigger program. Obviously, we got to, you know, the program was between Motch and Jake the Snake. It was the point for which they were going to use to turn me babyface. But I would have loved to have worked a singles program with Motch just to hear the interviews that he would cut on me. That would be incredible.

1:02:52I was really sad when he left because I just always felt like there was something there between that we could have done together that would have been really big business. But yeah, and Motch was special. What was your favorite supernatural feat as The Undertaker? I think probably for me was the being able to, there's a tie, I guess, between being able to appear in an empty casket I always thought that was extremely cool. And then being able to survive being buried alive. I think those two things really stand out as far as the mystique and the lore of The Undertaker. And I think the caskets especially.

1:03:49We did some really, really cool things with the caskets and caskets being opened and nothing being in the casket to the next time it's open, there I am. And being able to do those kind of things. I always thought that, like, man, those were such important nuggets for the character to be able to appear in places and disappear and do all those things. And I just think it was such a vital part of, obviously, the mystique of The Undertaker. It's like, wow, man, this guy can show up and do different things. And throwing lightning was pretty cool, too. I mean, not everybody can throw lightning. That's a gift.

1:04:32I don't know if I could still throw it, but I'm kind of rusty there, but that was cool as well. What was your favorite moment from the Ministry of Darkness? The ministry, that was a lot of fun. We really, really got to push the envelope with the ministry, with the symbolism and all of the innuendo and everything else. We got more flack during that ministry period, but it was just the darkness of all of that and putting people up on the symbol, which I put Stephanie. What a difference. What a change that would have been if I'd actually married Stephanie. i mean i'm sure like i would i would probably kicked her to the curb by now but she's gonna she's gonna appreciate that uh but um yeah i i mean that was that was some really really cool stuff that we did and the sacrifices and the just the overall darkness of, you know, it was, it really pushed a lot of people's buttons where the, you know, that original version of the Undertaker was like, oh, you know, that's kind of spooky and that's, you know, that's different.

1:06:01But man, the ministry kind of made, man, it made people feel things that like, oh, this dude's like, you know, this dude really is demented and like he's messed up. And, you know, it made it work. And I don't know that we could do today what we did back then as far as content. I mean, people would absolutely lose their freaking minds, I think, in this day and age. But it was fun while it lasted. Was there any creative from the Ministry of Darkness period that was shot down? Well, I mean, I really did want to sacrifice Midian. I mean, I thought that would have been really cool to watch on TV. But, yeah, they shut me down on that one.

1:06:53Said it was a little bit too extreme. I was like, man, but think of the ratings.

1:07:02You think?

1:07:07It wasn't so much. No, it wasn't so bad. You know, back then, pretty much everything that I pitched for that, we went with. Obviously, the part that I didn't like, and I've complained about many times, was when the ministry went corporate. That's when I thought it went all, it went, it watered it down and made it to wrestling then. I think we had something that was really edgy and, again, made people think and made people feel a certain way. And then when it became the corporate ministry, it was just like, yeah, it sucked. It really did. I hated it. But what you going to do, man? You got to roll with the flow and come up with something else.

1:08:02and get out of that and move on. But the ministry, yeah, that was a good time. Good times. Which opponent brought out the absolute best in you? There's a lot of guys that I had some really, really incredible chemistry with. But to actually bring it out of me in the ring, like to the point where I knew that I had to be sharp and could go, it's either got to be Shawn Michaels are Kurt Angle. My chemistry with Sean was just second to none. We were on such the same wavelength, the way we put matches together and all of that. We were so dialed in. And then Kurt was just a machine, man. I just, man, he could freaking go.

1:08:51You had to be able to go just to keep up with him. I think we had a match, I think it was in 2000, No Way Out, in 2006, Man, such an incredible match. One of the matches I'm most proud of. And, man, it was fast-paced, which, again, I like to work up to a fast pace. But with Kurt, man, it was just like right from bell to bell, man. It was just go time. But he was so good in the ring. but yeah it'd have to be it'd have to be Sean or Sean or Kurt for sure the 30-year anniversary of The Rock's WWE debut is later this year what were your first impressions of The Rock and do you have any favorite stories from working with him who The Rock who's he no I remember the night that he came out in Madison Square Garden But I saw him with the kind of the island gimmick on the tassel.

1:10:00I don't know what those what were those called? I don't even know what they were called, but they looked like tassels to me. And he came out with this rah-rah, yucky, baby face kind of energy. And I was like, oh, man, this guy's done for. I swear I thought like, man, I mean, you knew like he was talented. Like, you know, he was an athlete. He played football at Florida. but he came out with that yucky, yucky baby face presentation. And I was like, oh man, this guy, he is, he don't stand a chance. And it's, you know, it's one of those things duly noted. I was wrong. He had a fair run. I guess he's okay.

1:10:43You know?

1:10:47Yeah, I definitely missed on that one. I mean, he really turned into something extremely special. I wish he'd hung around a little longer, but you've got big dreams. You've got to go live them. And then I think for favorite moment, there's one that stands out, and it's not like because we did something really great. I just remember one particular night that I'm working against Rock, and I think it was a Monday Night Raw that we were in a match together. you know, he is absolutely just kicking the shit out of me and he's just going off and he's throwing punch after punch after punch after punch and I'm selling and I'm hitting, he's hitting me.

1:11:34And, and then I look at him and I realize that he's not even looking at me. He's looking over my shoulder at the Tron. He's basically watching himself kick my ass on the Tron. So he is like, Like, he is over here, like, wearing me out, but his head is looking this way. Like, he was really actually enjoying watching himself kick my ass. And I had to call him out, right? Like, you know what? Hey, dude, if you're going to kick my ass, will you at least look at me while you do it? Which he laughed, and we had a moment out of. But, you know, that was just one of those deals, like, are you kidding me right now?

1:12:17Like, you're not even going to look at me. You're going to watch yourself hit me with all these. It was just one of those moments that, you know, it was kind of funny. It was kind of funny to me anyway. Yeah. That always sticks out as like one of those things. It was like, bro, like I'm over here. Can you just turn your head a little bit? Act like you're, yeah. Okay. Thanks. WrestleMania, when I came out at the end of that at 40, that was fun, man. And that was a little walk down memory lane there. I'll tell you what, though, man, I think he got a little heavier.

1:12:56Either he got heavier or I'm not quite as strong as I used to be. I don't know what that was. But, no, that was a lot of fun. And to be able to get in there with the guys from that era and relive a little bit of that magic, that was fun. That was worth the run that I had to make to get to the ring on my brand new replaced knees. It all paid off because that was a really cool moment. Actually, that really gave me a lot of closure as well to my in-ring wrestling career. It was just kind of like, wow, this is fun and this is a good way to shut it all down. So, yeah, that was really cool. All right, everyone, that's a wrap on this Q &A.

1:13:50I actually really enjoyed this. So you guys keep sending in your questions, and we will do this again. This is one of my favorite formats to do.
