Donald Trump talks politics, pro wrestling with WWE’s Undertaker

- Former President Donald Trump continued his podcast blitz on Monday, Oct. 21, to reach young male voters, appearing on “Six Feet Under with Mark Calaway.” Calaway is better known to pro wrestling fans as The Undertaker from the WWE.
Trump’s connection with wrestling goes back decades. Trump Plaza in Atlantic City hosted WWE’s marquee event WrestleMania in 1988 and 1989. The former president is also an inductee of the WWE Hall of Fame, and Trump himself got in on the action at WrestleMania 23 in Detroit in 2007.
“Well, the big thing we had the ‘Battle of the Billionaires’ and that was with Vince (McMahon) and me and you know, we each had our wrestler. He had Umaga. We had two good guys and they wrestled,” Trump said. “Fortunately, my guy won and the loser had the hair shaved. I said, ‘I don’t want to have my hair shaved.’ We actually wrestled a little bit.”
“You mixed it up a little bit,” Calaway said.
“It was a pretty famous thing. But I think it has your all-time record,” Trump said.
At the time, WrestleMania 23 did break WWE’s pay-per-view record with 1.2 million buys. Trump also brought former WWE CEO Linda McMahon into his cabinet during his presidency.
“Linda McMahon, I picked who really helped Vince a lot over the years, a lot of people don’t know that and she’s a fantastic woman. She’s been a big supporter from the very beginning and she was the head of small businesses which is big business basically, Small Business Administration, and she did a fantastic job. Everybody loves her,” Trump said.
At times the interview weaved between politics and talking sports entertainment with Trump taking on the role of interviewer to learn more about the craft of the wrestling industry.
“Who was the greatest, the couple of greatest that you’ve seen?” Trump asked Calaway.
“My goodness,” Calaway responded. “There’s Stone Cold Steve Austin, he was up there, you’d have to put to put Hulk Hogan in there and, you know, Ric Flair.”
In July, Hogan brought the wrestling world to the presidential race when the former WWE champion appeared at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
Trump recalled the two assassination attempts on his life. Trump told Calaway that one of his WWE colleagues, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, wanted to reach out to the former president.
“He was great. I never thought he liked me and I felt badly because I think he’s a terrific guy. Then (UFC President) Dana White said when I was shot, took a shot to the ear, you may have heard about it, Rock called Dana, ‘I want to have his number, I want to have his number, what he did is sort of incredible.’ He considered it bravery. I don’t know to me, I considered it like what’s going on here, but it was very nice, actually, the Rock,” Trump said.
As the interview neared the end, Calaway brought on his daughter to talk about an issue important to him - women’s sports. Trump told Calaway as president he would not allow transgender women to play in female sports.
Trump mentioned the scandal surrounding two boxers from this summer’s Paris Olympics. However, it has been reported by multiple outlets and organizations that neither of those Olympians was a transgender athlete.
Pro wrestlers are backing candidates on both sides. Former WWE champion and “Guardians of the Galaxy” star Dave Bautista has been vocal about his support for Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris.

Donald Trump on a podcast with The Undertaker 2 weeks out from the US Presidential election. Not even Nostradamus had this on his BINGO card.
My childhood obsession for 18+ months with WWF, specifically the Undertaker and Ultimate Warrior is time redeemed! Who’d have thought these dancers in the ring could inspire so much.
Very cool.
Lol great comment
The Phenom and Hogan the 2 most iconic wrestlers across multiple generations! Best of the best!
Who care about Bautista, he cried too much anyway.
The Undertaker's daughter I think looks like the mother lol.
Bruce Willis's daughters...my god - they got his chin...
It feels like the vote is torn between men (and married women) vs single women (plus the men who think like single women). It’s gross.
Men with balls voted for Trump, and women with balls voted for Comrade Kamala.
funny thing is the stats in the election mostly proved you right
classic John Doyle quote
😅@@AB-ez4rm
It was between normal people and brainwashed idiots
This is dope
Great video I'm a huge wwe fan
Love under tacker and cane both brothers and hulk hoggan they all sapported trump sr
Can't stand hulk hogan for ratting out Jesse ventura because ventura wanted to unionise
I would’ve done the same if I was Hogan. Fuck y’all, I’m not taking a pay cut for you.
I'm a long time Hogan hater but I forgave him after his speech at the Trump rally
If The Rock does the Mic for Trump, believe u me it's OVER for Obama on the Mic
"Neither olympians are trans athletes " well they have confirmed x and y chromosomes which is what men are born with so whats the difference? Just because they don't have the 'private' of a male, they can still use the male level strength they're born with? Even the boxing world championships realized it was an unfair advantage so they were banned there.
Shaq had the unfair genetic advantage of being 7ft and 250 pounds should he have been banned because playing someone like that is unfair?
@@TheBroGunnerCowThis is a braindead argument and you know it. What was Shaq and what did he identify as? What were every other player’s gender? You’re a joke.
Boxing world championship never released what test they used so others could replicate. Then they said it was one test, then suddenly it was another test, neither of which the lab actually tests for. The testing site they claimed has said, multiple times, that they do not do chromosomal or hormonal tests. They only test for PEDs.
She had never had her gender dismissed before she beat that undefeated Russian champion. And her disqualification meant that said champion remained as such. The world boxing championships was chaired by a Russian national with known ties to the champion's team.
She has been boxing ever since she was a little girl. She's been in public tournaments and plenty of bouts before the olympics, some she's won and others she's lost. By her previous opponents, her power is not anything beyond normal, it's her ability to space with her long reach, explosiveness when she pivots/commits/feints and her more squared movement which are all hallmarks of being trained by men. She boxes like a man because she's been trained by men her whole life. There are no indicators that she has ever been a man, even with her wider shoulders, her hip to shoulder ratio is well within what's expected for a female boxer. I have never gotten this argument...anyone that watches boxing for more than the occasional fight was able to clock her as a biological female. Her shoulder to bicep ratio is absolutely feminine and she is rather slight for her height and weight. If you compare her to like...Vanessa Lepage-Joanisse? Vanessa has more of a masculine build in her body than Imane does. The only thing that's more masculine on Imane is her nose (which if you've seen her father, she inherited his) and jaw ratio (which you can see she got from her grandmother), but even then, you have Katie Taylor who has an even stronger, more masculine jawline and nose ratio. And also, don't forget that she's got her mouth guard in while boxing, which squares the jaw (a good example, I think, is Claressa Shields, her jawline is sharp with her mouth guard and very soft without it). When you see her in street clothes, her jaw softens a TON.
And then the whole...being from Algeria thing? Where...you know...being trans is a crime worthy of execution?? If she didn't have all of her tests that she submitted to various national and Olympic officials (including the ones she submitted voluntarily to previous leagues and competitions after that nonsense debacle), her life would likely have been in danger behind this bs if Algeria's government believed it...
Please, watch some actual women's boxing and look up the women I mentioned. You'll see that Imane is par for the course for female boxers. And there's women that have never had their genders questioned that are more masculine presenting than Imane! She's in the international "punch good and take hit well" competition...of course she's going to look like she punches good and can take a hit or five to the chin.
@@Yunfarron78 hate to say it but it's been confirmed yesterday that imane khelif is a man. your comment aged like spoiled milk.
@@Yunfarron78 there's been an update on imane khelif. Nice try though

Great work. 🏆
There are no news channels in USA that are more to the point; and very few outside of the USA that can reach such a high standard! ❤
Probably should have seen this coming with how hard that man has been simping and covering for vince all these years. Disgusting.
pussy
Taker always seemed right wing and a lot of wrestlers are
Aww triggered?
@@KrisBryant15because they are independent contractors and they don't want robbed by the demoncrats
@@stache297 No, disgusted. I said so in one of the two (2) sentences I wrote. Shouldn't be that hard.
Very smart doing this and Rogan instead of the usual 60 minutes.
Please anyone google how many lies has Trump said ...I think it's in 40,000 😂😂😂
Yeah. I'm sure that comes from an impartial source and isn't a load of nonsense.
😂
I gained respect for Mark. James Rennie130 get rid of your HATE and TDS.
Hilarious
The Undertaker x Trump
TRUMP is UAS...
trying to say man'a
Can't even watch it. Lost a lot of respect for the Taker. Stay out of politics
Same.
Yeah, given him a lot of benifit of the doubt over the years with vince and locker room politics but this one feels like a stab in the heart.
Y’all sound like a bunch of losers
It’s his right to talk politics. It’s my right to call taker a pile of 🗑️
And we lost respect to Foley and Bautista because they are endorsing Kamala
Undertaker you racist, you look like a proud boy. Brock was always better then you😂😂😂😂
I'm a huge wrestling (and undertaker) fan, but I've always known it's mindless entertainment. Pro wrestlers are the last place I'd look for an opinion on anything that mattered.
Undertaker is truly dead to me
Grow up
@@fusion360music6your a sheep
I see what you did there...😂
@@fusion360music6 Don't bash someone for maintaining kayfabe.
Go cry to your mama
Trump is just cool in a personnel lvl.
Dont care who like s hulk hoggan or not all my favorite srestliors are retired or who have died i love hulk hoggan who s retired under tacker caninesting randy savadge all thoses qere my favorite wrestlera who ether retired or died randy sacadge died
Mark Callaway has always seemed like YES man
Actually, he's very 'NO' on transing kids and drag queens air humping in children's faces.
Because he supports who he wants?
That's literally what his Kane persona was so idk what's the cunning here? Btw isn't Daniel Bryan the yes man?
@@EALS-pb5rs you mean Undertaker?
I respect udnertakers wrestling abiluty but he really just supported trump and jn my opinion on a business level. It outs politics into this. When wrestling has nothkng for that.
@@KrisBryant15well you are nothing to him 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Well Harris paid 1 billion dollars to the Diddy list and Trump paid nothing for classy celebrities like Dana White Elon Musk Rick Harrison and Hulk Hogan.
tfw all your favorite wrestlers growing up have now become shitheel conservatives
@@PewterBird stone cold is the goat.
Mick Foley and Batista are goodones
I mean they have testosterone unlike today's wrestlers.
The ironic thing above liberal positions? If they're around long enough they become conservative.
😂 right what a waste of time
Man this sucks. Ive given taker a lot of benifit of the doubt over the years but watching him shill for this skeazy crook hurts
That's because you're EVIL, Taker is Christian Now 😊
@WisdomOverWicked777Rules well he supported a sleazy crook for president so he isnt great at being one.
@@WisdomOverWicked777Rules
If he is, he isnt great at it considering he supported a crook for office.
@@WisdomOverWicked777Rules
I do not think can talk of either from your support of a sleazy crimminal. You are far from gods light.
@@clairestark9024 Nope Neither is TRUMP Who's a Christian
What an L for Mark. Cant blame the guy I guess I mean he is Vince's boy
It is a massive W for Mark. Massive L for you liberal clowns.
Undertaker a moe, Ron? How about that? What a let down.
You’re a clown…. undertaker can interview who he wants
@@martinonuegbu1384thin skin Trumper rearing its sorry little head.
@@martinonuegbu1384 shut up.
@sithman5000 I guess you were expecting undertaker to prance around in a rainbow thong waiving a trans flag huh?
@@sithman5000 you’re a CLOWN… and you will definitely learn that sooner or later.
Gross. Taker is the man.. but this is just weird and gross. There’s nothing fun about Trump, unless you’re laughing at how dumb he is. But that’s quickly ruined when you realize many people aren’t in one the joke and take him seriously.
Ikr Kamala is so much more fun
WHEN SHE SUCKING ON MARRIED MEN@@jaychas
How he mad Kamala lost.
Chronic TDS 😂
You're one of the few! go have fun with camouflage
In the future the undertaker and kane won't be remembered because of this bad choice.
You're A RETARD
What bad choice 2 wars high inflation open border 😂 change you're diaper with biden
You will forget like everyone else everything that happened during the last election in 4 years.
So Calaway thinks Trump is down to earth (lol) and likes sports. Cool, then watch a game with him and have a beer, but don't vote for him. As a president he needs completely different qualities, starting with the basic competence such as not lying when opening his mouth.
Prove it LIAR. Every word out of camouflage mouth was a lie every word out of brain dead biden's was a lie every word out of Obama's mouth was a lie
Mark Callaway is a disgrace, and I'd give just about anything for the opportunity to say it to his face.
YOu're a loser. He has the right to support who he wants and he isn't a disgrace for it. What is a disgrace is losers like you who can't handle differing viewpoints.
Chronic TDS 😂
Give your A** to him.
@jighjightsegha755 ironic that MAGA thinks people who hate Trump have TDS, when in reality the only one who have true TDS are his supporters. You have to be deranged to support him.
You're a disgrace! Undertaker is the GOAT 🐐!
Wow! just lost any respect I ever had....bye bye Calaway!
Grow up Jesus Christ
And who are you to judge?
Your respect doesn't matter, that is if you have any. Who cares about the respect of someone who can't respect the freewill and choices of others.
Why because he doesn't worship Satan like you do
😂
I lost respect for the undertaker.
Yea cause u wanna abort your kids democrat
Grow up.
Who needs your respect if you can't respect an individual"s choices.
@@mcstyle24 you grow up
