5 WWE Superstars who asked to change their opponent

#1 The Undertaker asked to change his WWE opponent

The Undertaker gave more out-of-character interviews to promote WWE Network docuseries ‘Undertaker: The Last Ride’ than he did in his entire 30-year WWE career.

One of his most hilarious stories came when he recalled the moment that he noticed Giant Gonzalez walking down the hallway whilst he was having a conversation with Vince McMahon about Yokozuna’s in-ring ability.

Speaking on NotSam Wrestling, the WWE icon explained how he instantly knew that he was going to face Giant Gonzalez as soon as the former El Gigante joined WWE, but his request to change his opponent to Yokozuna did not go as planned.

“I remember turning my head to Vince and saying ‘Please, please, please, let me work with him [Yokozuna] first.’ Vince laughs, ‘You'll work with him in time, but I've got somebody else in mind for you.’ I kid you not, coming down the hall from the other direction, here comes Giant Gonzalez and Vince goes, ‘That's your guy.’” [H/T Wrestling Inc.]

The Undertaker worked with Giant Gonzalez in 29 WWE matches, including live events, in 1993. He added during the interview that working with the former basketball player “took years off my career”.
