The Undertaker recently opened up about a call he received from Vince McMahon. During the conversation, the WWE Chairman offered to have him inducted into the Hall of Fame.
The Deadman recently appeared on the Out Of Character podcast with Ryan Satin, where the former discussed his career and personal life. The Phenom also spoke about his upcoming Hall of Fame induction.
The Big Evil revealed that this year was the second time he was offered an induction into the Hall of Fame. The former world champion talked about how he turned down the opportunity "a few years back."
"When Vince called me this time, you know, I was like yeah, good. It's, it's time. And then, uh... That let me know, like I'm coming to grips with the fact that obviously the career is over and it's time for that next chapter," said The Undertaker. (From 22:11 to 22:36)
