The Undertaker to join WWE as a commentator? Exploring the chances

The WWE Universe is no stranger to The Undertaker. Portrayed by the legendary Mark Calaway, The Deadman is undoubtedly one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time. But fans are only used to seeing him perform within the confines of the squared circle. Could he take his talents outside the ring and try his hand at commentary?

The answer to that question is an emphatic 'No!' In fact, The Undertaker himself has made it clear that commentary is perhaps the worst role in WWE. This coming from someone who usually doesn't have a single bad thing to say about the Stamford-based promotion is quite something. Nevertheless, it seems as though this is an opinion he will not budge on.

On his Six Feet Under with Mark Calaway podcast, The Undertaker said that there was no chance he would ever be on the commentary team. The Demon of Death Valley further stated that during his time, there were only two ''really good places'' to watch the show from. The said places were next to former chairman Vince McMahon at Gorilla and in the production truck with former WWE Executive Producer Kevin Dunn.

"There is absolutely zero chance I would have ever went on commentary. They've got it the absolute worst. Funny thing is, though, what people don't realize, there were two really good places to watch the show from: either at Gorilla position next to Vince or go to the truck and listen to Kevin Dunn communicate to his people," The Undertaker said.

It certainly is an interesting take from The Phenom. But as for his aversion to commentary, one can never say never in pro wrestling. Who knows? The Deadman could well be seen behind the commentary table one day, going back and forth with the likes of Michael Cole and Pat McAfee, among others.

The Undertaker wasn't a fan of shooting segments in graveyards

One of the key aspects of The Undertaker's character was his connection to the macabre. He was and still is to many a superstar who can only be described as eerie and frightening. So, when it comes to segments he filmed, it was often shot in places that looked like they were out of a horror movie, like a graveyard.

However, this wasn't exactly appealing to Mark Calaway. There were times when The Phenom hated shooting segments in a graveyard. As he revealed on his podcast last month, there was a particular graveyard segment from 1994 that he disliked filming.

After a failed attempt to win the WWE Championship in a Casket Match against Yokozuna at that year's Royal Rumble, he went to film early in the morning, describing the scene as "cold and miserable!"

It's hard to imagine The Undertaker shivering in the middle of a graveyard. But it just goes to show that even The Deadman was human.
