When you're so dedicated to staying in character - and by proxy, very protective of your personal life - and you're as well known as The Undertaker, myths and tall tales are going to grow around you. 'Taker and Evans touched on a few of these during the interview, but there was one in particular that stood out. And it was the one revolving around Undertaker's mother.

Now, we're not talking about the fictional mother of The Deadman who had an affair with Paul Bearer - but his actual flesh and blood mom. His actual flesh and blood mom that, according to legend, chewed out Shane McMahon for hitting her son in the face.

"Sean: 'Fact or fiction: Your mom scolded Shane McMahon for when he punched you in the face and drew blood.'
Taker: [laughing] 'My mom's scolded a lot of people. I had... it got to the point I had to stop bringing her to shows when I'd go to Houston. I remember... and [that story about Shane is] true, by the way, yes... and she will cuss Triple H to this day...'
'6' 10", 320 lbs., I'm still the baby, right? I'm still her baby and she thinks she has to help me.

The incident they were discussing took place at WrestleMania 32 in Dallas, TX and, according to The Deadman, nearly nobody was spared the wrath of Mother Undertaker.

"She was exposed to everybody she had seen on TV and I think she cut promos on just about everybody."

Just remember: even somebody as larger than life as The Undertaker has a mother.
