It’s funny how someone who played one of the biggest badass’s over the last 20 years is such a genuine good guy in real life.. Taker deserves a Oscar!
Mike Lowry he was great in Suburban Commando
An*
I mean he isn't a ufc fighter but Taker really does practice jujitsu and other martial arts.
Heard some very shady stuff about him in his real life but I don't want to believe them.Cause if they are true I definitely like his wrestling character more
Hes being a good guy since birth people just didnt see it
10:00 for the title of the video
Lifesaver
Not all heroes wear capes..
@@LondonConfidential they all wear underwear tho... so we're all heroes in my book!
You`re a legend
Thanks
Imagine all you hear is thunder and next thing you see is Taker behind Ariel, then giving him a tombstone.
Anthony Jacob lmao lets hope it happens
I'd pop
And u hear the commentators “OHHH MYYYY GAWWWWWD!”
🤣🤣🤣
Ariel would love to be in that position with undertaker i bet
"I already killed the gimmick" = this man could put the hat on at any point in the future and I'd still feel fanboy and feel the hypee
kingofkings69ner dude don’t call him by his real name!
@kingofkings69ner go ask attention to ur parents
@kingofkings69ner O Hi Mark
If anything more excited lol
He didn't kill anything because everyone's in on the gimmick anyway. It's cool no matter what.
It’s crazy that both of the scariest wrestlers in wwe history kane and undertaker are the most friendly and down to earth people outside of character😂
so true!
It's not crazy, it's how it should be.
@Julia Sutton That makes me oddly happy.
taker an kane are legendary no doubt but there people beyond the smoke an mirrors. my familys dodgy gangster on one side an military on the other side both make good money. ima youth worker lol an i more then hold my own against any of them lol not exactly but.... tough guys are only assholes around assholes if everyones lovely tough guys are lovely. fact is toughness is simple people fight cancer aids ms dementia allsorts on a daily basis its those people i find tough there unbreakable for all u know ur tough af.
I was one of the EMTs that took Kane out of the ring at Taboo Tuesday when Snitsky slammed his throat in the chair. It was shocking how awesome they all were. Kane was so nice and so cool he took pics with all of us and hung for a while after. Obviously, it was a work, but it looked real. We knew everything that was going to happen before hand, and I still asked him if he was ok because the blood looked so real. Richie from magic was the best ever at that job.
Man didn't speak a word for thirty years and now he can't stop.

quarantine got him bored af haha
You know
That’s false he used to do a lot of talking back in the day
He talked all the time, especially from 2000-2003 when he was the American Badass/Big Evil.
The internet in Death Valley ain’t the best!
You know he moved there from parts unknown lol
Matt Smith now i do 😂
@Enzo hahahahahaha, good one!
Dead
He was from Texas for a few years between mania 17 & 19
Taker has always been an mma fan even before UFC was mainstream. He started wearing mma gloves in wwe a long time ago.
thisss
a lot of his fans didn’t know this, including I . thanks you for this
mma blows
Yes he also said that if MMA was that popular in the nineties, he would’ve tried his hands in it
I remember him doing a punch combo in the corner with those gloves as one of his moves
This guy shaped entire generations of people. Just thinking about it gives me chills
And sting imo
Imagine Ric Flair, then!!😲😲😲😲😲
Creepy
eewww
It's fake wrestling dude. Come on
Absolutely love to see Taker getting the respect that he deserves even from the MMA fans. Hard not to love and respect this guy he done so much for 3 different generations of kids and adults who loved WWE
He wore the 4 ouncers all the time and just look at the Hells Gate finishing move. Taker is the real MMA Junkie
I've never been a WWE fan, I always thought it was stupid frankly, but even I have respect for the guy. He seems like a genuinely good person.
Because some MMA fans were pro wrestling fans (some still are, like myself) until they found out that pro wrestling was scripted. As has been said by the other guy, Undertaker was also an MMA fans himself.
Ive never seen undertaker talk so happy. or behave so friendly.
Or without his one-piece and mascara
WWE is fake it's acting why wouldn't he act like a regular human me he's a cool dude
No you are right he’s chokeslamming sick children into graves while working charity’s for thirty years now. I’m sorry goood observation
Hes always been like that.
You can't go through life being the Undertaker in real life. Everyone who I've ever heard talk about the guy say he's a really good dude who helps out the other performers if they ask him what he thinks.
Maaan the undertaker low-key put me on to martial arts as a kid! They'd call him an "elite striker" and one day my 8 year old self went and youtubed that phrase! Opened a whole new world to me! Shout-out Ariel for getting the man himself on 💯
I remember Tazz on commentary referring to his punches as "soup bones" haha
Bro... I thought you was herb dean for a minute 😂😂
@@TruBluBlood666 soup bones
@@TwistedRevan 😂🤙
Hahaha they called taker an elite striker
2020 is a crazy freaking year. We even got the Undertaker out here doing interviews.
Which he NEVER and very very rarely does.
Hes done one with Stone Cold recently.
Jekyll Hyde undertaker is the only professional wrestler (along with brock) who hasn’t been an “open book”
There have been interviews for the last couple of years. He started with some church thing his wife was a part of.
@Jekyll Hyde Undertaker actually refused to let WWE make a full in depth documentary about his career and personal life until 2017-2020 to let people know what he goes through and how he can't keep up with having matches at WrestleMania and how he's looking for a near future retirement
The rock hasn't either. @@Njbear7453
His WrestleMania streak might have ended but his "You know" streak won't
You know it
Undertaker “You Know” vs. Vince Russo “Bro”
Mark "you know" Callaway
Makes me wonder if Taker and Shawn Michaels still talk to each other using words or just converse in "you know" language.
Lol
Debut at 1990. Still relevent in 2020. One of the most, if not, the most respected person in the business. Was never overpushed to the consumers. Always wanted to give back. Always loyal. To me, he is the Greatest Of All Time.
Taker’s fans been waiting 30 years to hear mark calaway gives them the man behind the character & know his thoughts & mentality .. thank you for that interview
haider J_240 😂 thanks man I was trying to work out how old I was when I first used to watch him in the WWF it turns out I was about 10ish haaa the gold old days lol Early hours Sunday mornings 😂
His interview with Stone Cold is awesome. He was worried he was going to debut as the Gobbledy Gooker lol. It about an 80-minute sit down. Great stuff.
We need the Undertaker on JRE, but i have a feeling Steve-o will snag him first lol
Stone cold needs to go on there or brock
If he's going to do a podcast it'll be with Stone Cold.
Alex LeBlanc he’s already done one with SCSA
Danny 316 I'm with you rather see the undertaker, than Stone cold. Nothing against Steve but there is something about UT that is special. It's been a long time scince I've considered myself a real pro wrestling fan but he was always my favorite. Outside of wrestling the rock and Cena may be more interesting but he was definitely the most interesting wrestler in my opinion.
Dude. I never thought of Taker or JRE. This needs to happen!
Man Undertaker really did a great job on hiding his true identity, that's why being the Undertaker is all we know of him, well until now, which is so great and awesome to see now!
He had interviews as a real person 30 years ago
Taker was simply keeping kayfaybe. He comes from the old school when wrestlers were not revealing themselves. He simply kept tradition.
😐😂
Unless of course you remember “Mean Mark Callous”
The Undertaker is possibly the greatest character in history of entertainment.
You forgot steve urkel
Dont push it
Abdul Shah 1998 kane , but i feel like they both equal character wise, not legacy wise
No
I think him and mankind/mik
I'm A Dinosaur. Yes you're sir. The Guy is bigger than wwe. The most respected guy in the wwe. The Undertaker. What a legend.
Actually Benoit was the most respected until 2007, maybe still is.
@@ScarfaceFranckRibery I don't like to comment on him outside of the ring. Inside he was great.
@@ScarfaceFranckRibery He was not more respected. People liked his work in ring. But he took a story line romance and took another mans wife back in WCW. A lot of people were uoset about that
Big Evil doesn't work for the WWE, The WWE works for the Deadman.
@@ScarfaceFranckRibery Man, I love benoit.
Crazy to see undertaker like this all these years later , this guys character was so unique it would've had you genuinely believing he was dead 😅 Big respect, one of the all time greats!
@MambaMMA 24.2 yeah, Eddie was great, he really had you believing he was dead.
Lol u must being stupid as kid and now lol
@@HackEliteSPARK most of us know wwe was fake it's just fan watching him as a kid that you don't care anymore if it's fake and wwe for intertament it's already been said world wresting intertament haha your dumb if you believe it
@@petslife5320 it's not fake call it scripted...lol
@@petslife5320 shut up lol
He should have Tombstoned Ariel.
his nose would've protected his head
Yeah don't get close to the nose...it can be lethal
LMAO
But for real
Why is Ariel a bad person?
I always thought it was so badass that Undertaker wore MMA gloves, even before I knew what MMA was
Yes sir. Taker was the first wrestler I saw use the gogoplata choke.
@@tish9751 AKA HELL'S GATE😉
mma blows
@@tish9751 when I saw him do that submission move, I knew it rounded him out to be the best wrestler because he had some many moves but no submission move and it was crazy! Blood from the mouth lol
He actually wore the original UFC gloves. Then ufc changed their gloves not sure how many years later but LOOK INTO IT
Taker's internet connection was 3G 😭
I’m surprised he got internet in Death Valley
Ol school
Because he lives in a dead zone...
I'll see myself out.
his internet connection is as slow as his enterance lol
@@jpr96 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Phenom himself doing tons of open interviews..
This is how you know it's over guys cause he doesn't do this.
Thank you for being there almost my entire life!
Best interview Ariel has ever got and Take’s got the WORST internet connection ever!
Hi Ariel it’s me I love you
Well at least he managed to get some connection in the netherworld.. Remember a supernatural being like Taker when he's not wrestling he just chills on the other world
@@Nostalgicguy2242 The other world looks comfortable. Must have a great house over there.
So give him a better one. 🤦♂️
The Internet in death Valley has came on for the first time in thirty years give him a break
The moment he hangs his Hat for good is going mark the final hours of this dying business. Many of his colleagues have either died or retired but his hold on the main events after all these years shows how bigger brand he has became than this business. There will never be another Undertaker in this entire industry, ever! Hats off to this living Legend.
The Undertaker: "Man, this is so bad. This is me trying to make the best of this horrible situation"
Ariel & everyone else: "This is not horrible. I've been waiting a decade for this moment!"
you wanna do this???
*three decades
I watched his debut back in the 90s and he never once broke character or did an interview. We will never see someone again with this amazing intense mysterious persona. I stopped watching wrestling long ago but The Undertakers performances will live with me forever. He is a true legend.
This man has been here for me since my childhood I couldn’t say a bad thing about taker if I wanted to. Nothing but love an respect for this guy 💯
You from Mexico I like your name lol 😂
That's the best pro wrestler of all time. Dudes ridiculous. We can talk about drawing power I guess but I don't care dude. Man has all the respect in the business.
To me, easily the greatest CHARACTER in the business' history.
Man I had the privilege to see him live in a show in 07’ and man was the arena electric !
Him or kane. Jane showed he was a better after after he took his mask off an actually started speaking
You know brother... you got a lot of nerve. Disrespecting all the Hulkamaniacs and the black-and-white of nWo Hollywood. There's no such thing as pro wrestling if Hogan doesn't step into the ring with the biggest pythons in the business. Clearly you're not nWo because when you are nWo, your nWo 4 Life! And that, is just too sweeeet!
It may be controversial of me to say, but imo Chris Benoit was the best wrestler of all time.
Guys a solid dude
Jstn 8156 that’s not just a “guy”, that’s THE UNDERTAKER
He's been the leader and the voice for the WWE locker room for decades. He's the Dad, the mentor, etc. Everybody RESPECTS that guy
Dudes a solid guy, man
The true hero, honestly the greatest of all time, kept his character mysterious for 30 years. a man who always put business first, a man who gave his all and broke his whole body just for us. Thank you Taker ❤
Cant believe i've just agreed with a saints fan
Brad Taylor 😂😂
@@jamie-leeprice5621 Cant let rivalries get before legends my man
3 decades, 6 eras, most fans literally grew up watching this man perform. I can't even fathom the WWE without the phenom! No one in the industry has had career like the undertaker. No one has been more prominent and featured for as long as this man. The only word one could even use to describe him is legendary. He was never a draw like Austin, a innovative performer like Shawn. Or even an icon like Hogan. But the heart and soul of the WWE.
The greatest without doubt. I was 11 when he first come on the scene, 30 years later I’m still a fan. Thanks for everything, Taker!
Keith Cox great age wasn’t it mate. We both grew up in such a brilliant era as kids.
Taker's wearing the same head-band he was wearing on the Ariel interview where he confronted Brock....
He has tons of bandannas
Yeah, I think he liked it and just bought hundreds of them.
Yup, he's talked about this quite a few times, he's only got one black bandana, by choice. It's his lucky bandana.
Undertaker is a living legend who provided all of us so many memories as kids. Bless his heart!
My only regret in life was never getting the opportunity to see this man live. To see his entrance, to feel that presence. The Undertaker is why i fell in love with the WWE.
Taker is a living legend. I was rewatching his matches the other day from 90s to 2020 this dude still bangs with the best its crazy!
Living legend, he needs to rest and take it easy with his family and enjoy the rest of his life.
AND come out of retirement for one night every few years on a huge stage. for them huge paydays
I’ve been waiting for the answer for 10 years. I remember watching the interview for the undertaker now I’m watching this interview for Helwani.
Yea I instantly because a fan of Ariel Helwani after seeing that interview
It would be good to learn Brocks side,cause brock said to Ariel in 2011 that they did have a mutual friend where some things were said. But still at least there ok now!
Callum - good point. But taker is pretty much alluding to the fact it was a work? At least that’s how I interpreted this
How disappointing that it was never real. I guess that’s why I’m not a pro wrestling fan.
So what huppen?I didn't get it
The undertaker was one of my favorite wrestlers in my childhood
Yees lmao. Me too bro
Undertaker has the same Bandana as 10 years ago ! 🤘
*25 years ago haha. A true legend!
The legendary bandana😂
Yup
30*
And the same legs!!!
Ariel: This is not horrible ive been waiting a whole decade for this moment
Taker: frozen screen.....
Hi I love the undertaker put I did like when he lost to that he could been the one who had longest run but no that horrible man undertaker better way take care be safe u and it family😄😃💯💥🦷
It is Odd to see a Massive Wrestling Superstar be so Open & Likeable & Down to Earth. One of the Very Greatest Characters Ever, just being a regular, humble guy. Awesome. God Bless the Undertaker. And Mark, of course. 👍
Got pay respect to OG's like the undertaker, today's wwe stars are a bunch of dweebs
Respect
Would you say hes the king of oily man theater?
@MambaMMA 24.2 remove triple h and jbl
@@TheKing-kw6mu Triple H was a great wrestler dude His pedigrees on thumb tacs & sledgehammers to heads he had legendary matches with the rock and mankind.
JBL sucked.
No Name JBL was a solid character. All the characters of that era really sold the experience.
I would love to see the Undertaker more on the MMA scene. What a legend.
Have a feeling once he retires from wrestling he will be. The guy is a huge mma fan.
Yess
@@joeyk29 They clearly mean just being around doing interviews and drawing attention to some of the more unknown guys. OBVIOUSLY they don't mean a 54 year old who has never fought in the UFC or other promotions is going to get in there with ngannou.
Hes a big dude and I'm sure he still hits like a truck, but I don't think he'd wanna be in the octagon at his age. Maybe a 3 rounder exposition but a light one.
@@joeyk29 Nobody in their right mind expects to see him fight. He has great knowledge of fighting. We just want to see him around and share his opinion.
The Undertaker his hands down my favorite wrestler of all time I actually got to meet him when I was 13 at the Galleria Mall in Houston Texas and he was so nice I was terrified of him at first thinking all the lights were going to cut off and his eyes were going to roll in the back of his head but he was so nice and he's absolutely right his and Shawn Michaels WrestleMania 25 match was the greatest of all time without question
King Metto You were 13 and you still didnt know Wrestling was fake??? (smh). Wow. Did you also believe in Santa Claus until Highschool??
Dude are you sure you were 13 and thought lights would go out and music start playing because of a wrestler in a mall? You’re just a troll right? That’s fuuuking sad dude
Are you sure you were 13 and thought wrestling was real dude seriously tell me you’re not that pathetic
@@goatmansasquatch1485 Says the guy responding and posting the same comment over and over.
I believed in Santa until i was 17 What's Wrong With That?
Stone Cold: WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT.
Undertaker: YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW.
I stopped watching WWE at the end of the 90s but I still couldn’t miss this interview!
U mean WWF brother ...yeah I'm with U
" IT'S STILL REAL TO ME DAMMIT ! "
Oh!
@@LuckyDT LOL ! 😂🤣😂 What's up LuckyDT ?
😂😂😭😭😭😭😂😂😭😭
Love that vid. LOL
THIS IS LEGENDARY
*During that moment, I was guessing Mark was asking Brock "You gonna do it?" - Are you gonna quit or come back?* 🤔
Nah he said you wanna do it. but I see what your saying
Look a fellow Doom fan.
Who’s Mark? I only saw Ariel, Brock, and The Undertaker there. Lmao
Remember the streak being broken? That was the fight he asked Brock if he could do it and if Brock won the ufc fight that wouldn’t happen
@@TheMozez10 That's how I read it as well, that Brock and WWE had been in talks prior, as a backup if he lost that fight. Taker asking Brock if "you gonna do it?" meant take up Vince's offer for a return to the squared circle as a part time attraction.
I've been a huge fan of The Undertaker since I was about 9yrs old. Watching these interviews the last couple of days has made me an even bigger fan. What a stand up, truly professional performer and man.
He's so happy and jovial, really excellent to see him healthy, especially mentally, after such a long career.
Jovial. Now that's a word you never see in the comment section.
Ariel: “....You mean a real fight?”
Taker: “C’mon son!”
That's why Brock would kill them all but some think the wrestlers are real fighters 😂
@Trouser Troll I've heard so many stories about Haku, but I'm wondering why Haku don't try MMA (under rules) career Just like dan severn or Ken shamrock
Brock wouldn't try taker just off of respect alone. They both know eachothers background Taker is legit and so is Brock but brock would never challenge Taker to no real fight it's just facts.
Fun fact, for those who don't know: Undertaker once got blasted by his own pyrotechnics on his way to the ring, and suffered second-degree burns. . .
Naturally, he went ahead with the match anyway, and barely reacted to basically getting set on fire.
Triple h had a similar experience at wrestlemania with dry ice which gave him second degree burns
Im sure that incident was fake because wrestling is fake.
Boo R Nah man it was real. The pyro guy got fired after it
@@Underscore12301 i always will remember that elimination chamber match (maybe the first?) Where RVD damaged Trips esophagus/larynx with a frog splash from off the top of one of the chambers. Trips finished the entire match even though he described it as basicslly breathing through a straw. Still so fake though.
@@prettyboyboo6901 Look up "Sid Vicious Breaks Leg" and tell us again it's fake.
Undertaker is so sick. I feel like a kid again seeing him rockin that bandana again
9:05 is where they start talking About the UFC “You wanna do it?” Thing LoL
Thank you.
You are a saint and I hope you are blessed with many healthy children and a wonderful spouse. Lol
Not all heroes wear capes
Out of respect for taker you have to watch the whole thing
when ariel said wait like a real fight like an mma fight and taker said like a wrestling fight that was life right there.
I remember I was 3 or 4 years old, the biggest Hulk Hogan fan in the world and I saw the Undertaker make his debut, he's been my favorite ever since. Even though I stopped watching wrestling in the early 2000s, I always watch an iconic Undertaker match like Wrestlemania 25.
After 5 years, Kevin Owens will clear who threw the pie on his face right here on Ariel Helwani show.
Moxley already admitted it was him on Talk is Jericho
It was Doink the clown duh....
even if you dont watch wresting, try to see it, its a cool behind the scenes
I don't watch the the actual shows but i'm always fascinated by the work behind the shows and the business
i haven't watched a match since the 90's but i love learning about the kayfabe
This man was the center of my childhood memories of pro-wrestling
I would love to have Undertaker as my neighbor. Seems like a really cool guy.
i used to be legit scared of this guy back in the day... once i grew up i loved the dude watching him wrestle .. but when i got smartened up and heard shoots about him it made me like him even more ... the deadman.. the legend.. the phenom.. the undertaker
I thought Paul bearer was gonna try and molest me
When the undertaker goes grocery shopping, does he wear two bandanas? 😷
He dresses up as a ninja instead
Genius
He is already a deadman and would choke slam The Corona
Dave Crackk 😂 👌
He wears four
Great interview Ariel, you gave him all the time to express himself, so his answers felt complete. I liked the range of questions you asked.
Thanks for doing this.
10:30 is when he starts talking about the Brock incident
You are a hero
This is so chilling. Everyone loves there Character so much that they forget there humans and there all like us with the exact same problems from time to time. Huge respect for Taker!
Where’s the entrance? Greatest WWE gimmick ever.
He literally said '' you know.. '' 876 times yup i counted each one.
R/Madlads
You know
Well done
He needs to pump those up, those are rookie numbers.
You're Legend 🙏🏾.
Legendary! Tight rope walk, tombstone and the no hands sit up pure wwf gold
When you see Taker breaking Kabefabe and being more and more as Mark Calloway and doing more interviews, a sign that he may be retiring real real real real soon
Almost certainly, you don’t protect the character as well as he has for 30 years to just one day decide to stop. I believe November marks exactly 30 years since his debut. It would be nice to see him officially retire at the next Wrestlemania in front of 100,000 fans
DatGuy Z I believe he'll have one last run since he's been getting in great shape
And here we are 😔
It really almost got me to tears hearing him talk about his daughter 🖤😭
Undertaker. Clap, Clap, ClapClapClap
Me. Fap, Fap, FapFapFap
I think you might have the clap
I could hear this comment
@@giggityeffyou Don't fap....lol
Yes sir. Make it clap for me
It’s crazy to me that I remember the moment of Taker and Brock so vividly, but I have no recollection of Ariel Helwani being the interviewer. Wild hahaha
Coolest dude ever!! Love the Undertaker!!!
“You know how people are, out of sight out of mind.” Not me good sir. I’ll be telling my kids and my grandkids about the legacy of Mark Calloway & The Undertaker. An absolute legend.
❤️❤️❤️
WWE was smart airing this when they did piggybacking off the last dance docu series
The Greatest of ALL TIME hands down nobody can argue with that either
People will argue stone cold, rock, etc. Because of popularity. But taker IS the best of all time.
Hbk
@@calugcug21 Nah. Taker is better overall. Better character, longevity, best gimmick, great in ring performer, ect.

You’re the best dude! Thanks for that
Can you please make a time stamp for end of the video.. I'm having hard times
I was searching for that for so long. thanks dude
Saved my life!!! 🙌🏻
1:07 is the start of the interview 😜😛
I remember having a nightmare as a kid of the undertaker chasing me (I was running and he was just slowly walking) and the big show came out of nowhere to beat him and help me😂😂
Lol that's awesome
Nice
warren mcgreevy thought I was the only one to have nightmares like that 😭😭it was always undertaker chasing me
trust me we all that dream in mine edge saved me becuz at the time they both were having feud
I had a dream that Kane with his old school mask was after me and it still haunts me to this day. Lol
I'll be brutally honest. Taker was at no point ever my favourite wrestler, I was always interested more in the smaller, technical wrestlers with subtle gimmicks, if any gimmick, such as Bret, Angle, Malenko etc. But none of those will ever come close to what Taker achieved with his character. With taker, reality was momentarily suspended as we entered the dark side and it was always magic. The wrestling world will never be the same without him.
Totally completely agree. I always felt like he was the supporting cast, never the biggest main guy even when he was champion. He didn't feel like a dominant champion.
Throughout his career at WWE I had other favourites, whether it was UW, Bret, Steve Austin, The Rock or anyone else, but Undertaker helped suspend reality.
Well said, sir.
Totally with you on this. I didn’t buy the cartoon type gimmicks when I was a kid and he first appeared, since I was an Alabama boy we had “real” pro wrestling. BUT Undertaker made me take notice and somehow forget that I only bite on the Bullet, Freebirds, Brad Armstrong, Horsemen, Dusty Rhodes, Sting, etc. I seriously never bought into the WWF since it was hokey cartoon far removed from reality soft characters, whereas JCP WCW, NWA, Continental Championship, all had real people who fought for real reasons you know? It was a goal to get the championship, a revenge for something done to them or their friends, just pure competition to see who’s the best, looking at someone’s woman, kicking their dog and talking about their momma! I’m 46 now, and I still get goosebumps when that gong hits! Love the amount of production and pageantry he’s always used. Really love that even when kayfabe was murdered, Undertaker still didn’t break. Consummate professional, true leader and respected according to his peers, just an all around great guy.
I still think Kurt angle should have been bigger in wwe. Cmon a gold medalist in wrestling. He won a gold medal with a broken neck.
That UFC thing with Lesnar was 10 years ago?? 😱
Creazy How time fly so fast
Not the biggest wrestling fan but even I've always had massive awe and respect for this guy. A true legend.
“I’m business, and business comes first before anything personal”- that says it all.
Read this comment at the exact moment he said it, cool
Imagine Undertaker in ring calling someone, Rest! 'you know' in peace!
" you will rest in peace, you know? "
Lol
Great interview. Mark is the real deal and no one is respected more by the wrestlers themselves that him. That really says something about the man
Undertaker your character will never get old brother Mann it’s timeless your history there will never be the wrong time to me there are 3 other legendary characters of the same time Austin The Rock-and kane and youAre history dude and your aware thank you for 30 Yrs of Entertainment!!!!
Drink everytime Taker says “you know”
Dime so runk right now!
Lmao Dorian Yates is like that too
"You will rest in peace, You know"
but never says it in a promo
Woah bud don't encourage alcohol poisoning.
*I wish i could chase my daughter around*
That brought a tear to my eye
Someone in the comments put a time frame where undertaker talks about brock. You ain't no fan if ur rushing the deadman!
Ariel is a genius at what he does. He was born for this. Love him or hate him, he always finds a way to get the information we want.
Undertaker wearing the same bandana as on that day
10:00 brock question
And miss taker talking for ist 10 mins na
@@shane-irish haha exactly
I have no doubt in my mind that with his athletic abilities and size, he woulda been a killer in MMA world. What woulda been if mma was as big back then as it is now. He woulda been great in either worlds. Wwe is fortunate to have him.
He’s a black belt in jiu jitsu I’m pretty sure
He has a black belt in BJJ, he was an athlete during his entire college years, he would have been a massive hit in the Heavyweight divisions, guy is huge and was very agile and fast during his prime.
I love how everyone Respects The Undertaker.
These Undertaker interviews just make realize how great an actor he is. Mark Calloway and the Undertaker are totally different people for sure.
Taker has been entertaining us for so long, we grew up watching all of his matches and he is easily one of the greatest stars that wrestling entertainment has ever produced. Just one of the greats.
