5 Things The Undertaker has revealed about Vince McMahon

#1 The Undertaker reveals conversation with Vince McMahon about AEW

Last year, The Undertaker was scheduled for Starrcast II for a signing appearance but was later pulled out of the event. It was later revealed that Vince McMahon didn't like this one bit and had a falling out with The Undertaker over the same. Vince McMahon felt that The Undertaker's appearance gave fans the idea that he was appearing at an AEW PPV.

Vince calls me and he says, ‘What are you doing?’ I said I was doing this signing. He goes, ‘But yeah, you’ve got all these people thinking you’re going to do this [AEW PPV]. I thought, ‘Well, that’s stupid. Anybody that knows anything about me knows that I’m not going to a different company. I’ve been here forever. I ain’t going anywhere. I’m not going to jump ship to go to [AEW]. Why would I?’

Vince and I had a little bit of a falling out over it and I understand where he was coming from. He [has] got a business to run and I understand his position, but I also had a position of my own that needed to be understood. And we didn’t talk for a little while, and then, we both let our guard down enough to talk. And then, we had things worked out. It [has] all been sunshine and rainbows since.

The Undertaker will be a mainstay in Vince McMahon's WWE till the very end

The Undertaker's is quite possibly the biggest asset of Vince McMahon's corporation. His character has transcended generations and has inspired millions of fans in the process. The Undertaker is one of those rare Superstars who broke the barriers of pro-wrestling and was recognised by mainstream media on a number of occasions. It's understandable that Vince McMahon panicked when he learnt that The Undertaker was set to appear at Starrcast.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
