The Undertaker, one of WWE’s most enigmatic figures, has pulled back the curtain on his persona since retiring from the ring. He’s become a regular presence outside the squared circle, even launching his own podcast. On a recent episode of “Six Feet Under with Mark Calaway,” he took the time to heap praise on a former colleague, Paul Heyman.
During the podcast, The Undertaker spoke highly of Heyman’s managerial skills and recounted the pivotal role he played in The Undertaker’s move to WWE. He shared personal anecdotes, including how Heyman would often cover rental car costs during their early days and emphasized Heyman’s key role in connecting him with higher-ups in the WWE.
As the wrestling world gears up for WrestleMania XL, there’s also buzz about the upcoming WWE Hall of Fame ceremony. Paul Heyman is slated for induction into the prestigious Hall of Fame Class of 2024. This honor will be bestowed in Philadelphia, known affectionately as the City of Brotherly Love, during the next weekend’s festivities.
In another surprising revelation, The Undertaker discussed his iconic WrestleMania streak, which was famously broken by Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 30. This outcome was met with mixed feelings from fans, as many believed Lesnar didn’t need the accolade. The Undertaker himself suggested that Bray Wyatt would have been a more fitting choice to end the streak. He believed that Wyatt defeating him would have provided a significant boost to Wyatt’s career, more so than it did for Lesnar or Roman Reigns.
The Undertaker’s insights and stories provide a rare glimpse into the behind-the-scenes world of professional wrestling. His podcast continues to offer fans an opportunity to connect with one of the industry’s most legendary figures in a new and more personal way.
