The Undertaker is all set to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2022. Vince McMahon will be the one inducting The Phenom into the coveted list.
Seven-time World Champion in WWE, The Undertaker recently spoke with Dallas Morning News.
The Undertaker shared how Vince loves to play jokes on him. He also jokingly said he is worried that the Hall of Fame induction ceremony is scheduled to take place on April 1 which is incidentally April Fool’s Day and Vince might play some prank on him.
“I have absolutely no clue what he’s going to say,” he claimed. “I’m a little bit nervous, there’s no one that Vince loves to play practical jokes on more than me. The fact that the Hall Of Fame is on April Fool’s Day, who knows what’s going to happen. I do know it’s going to be emotional, I am not sure to what lengths he will go to not to completely fall apart and be emotional.”
The Dead Man said that he asked Vince to induct him into the Hall of Fame. However, he noted that things have gone quiet ever since. The man with 15 Slammy Awards said he has no ideas what to expect from the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of WWE.
“We’ve almost had radio silence here for the last few weeks after I asked him to induct me. So, I have no idea what to even begin to expect from him,” he said.
The Undertaker has worn some of the coolest coats you would see during his illustrious 30-year career. The coats were all black in color but from time to time there were subtle changes and the coats have become synonymous with The Phenom.
The Undertaker shared a funny incident that took place on an episode of RAW. ‘Taker returned to team with his storyline half-brother Kane. The opponents and Kane had made their entrance. ‘Taker also made his awe-inspiring entrance but when he was about to take off his coat, it got stuck in his MMA gloves.
“I had this coat made for WrestleMania, it was unbelievable, it was one of the hooded ones. I didn’t wear a hat so I wore the hooded one. The thing has got these huge spines on it, it was one of the really cool coats that I had. At WrestleMania, I wore it, the thing, it came off perfectly, it just slipped right down off my back. It was flawless, thank goodness.“
“A couple of months later they were about to have the 700th episode of Raw. They called me and said, ‘Hey, would you come do the 700th episode of Raw, it’ll be you and Kane going against two guys, need you to go out there, pretty much crush them, do a little Brothers Of Destruction, and that’s it.’ I was like, ‘sure, absolutely.’ So, I said, ‘I’m going to wear that coat again,’ I hadn’t worn it since.” The Undertaker said.
“Our opponents made their entrance, Kane makes his entrance, I make my entrance. As I go to take my coat off, the coat folds. It basically gets stuck on my mitts, my MMA mitts. The more I tug to try get out of them, the tighter it gets. Because the leather on this coat was really thick. I can’t get out of this coat, right? It’s Monday Night Raw, it’s live TV.”
