The Undertaker Claims Vince McMahon Had a Vendetta to Make Him Break Character

The Undertaker always prided his ability to stay in character no matter what as he was truly the toughest nut to crack inside the squared circle. In fact, The Deadman has now claimed that Vince McMahon had a vendetta to make him break character no matter what.

While speaking on the Six Feet Under podcast, Teddy Long shared a story about Vince McMahon telling him to get The Undertaker to dance before a show. The Undertaker was already in the ring, and Teddy was getting ready to go out when Vince called him back and told him to make The Undertaker dance.

Teddy Long didn’t say anything, but when he got to The Undertaker, he quickly told him not to hit him as it was Vince McMahon’s idea for The Deadman to dance. The Undertaker looked at Long and made it clear he was not going to dance at all.

“I remember one time, he was already down in the ring, and I was getting ready to go out. Vince calls me back and says, ‘When you get down there, go to Taker and make him dance. Do that dance.’

I just looked at him and didn’t say anything. When I got down there and saw Taker, the first thing I said was, ‘Do not hit me. Vince told me to do this.’ He looked at me and said, ‘I ain’t doing that s***.'”

The Undertaker then claimed that Vince McMahon had a personal vendetta to try and get him to break character. According to The Undertaker, Vince McMahon seemed determined to find ways to mess with him, either to crack him or embarrass him.

The Phenom felt like it was strange that a billionaire would spend his time trying to break the talent. It became clear that this was Vince’s goal, including moments like the spinaroonie, all part of his effort to get The Undertaker to break character. Rather than focusing on other matters, Taker noted that McMahon seemed fixated on this instead of telling people to avoid breaking character.

That man had such a vendetta. It was like he thought his goal in life was to figure out ways to mess with me—one, to crack me, and two, to embarrass me somehow. It felt like, ‘This is how a billionaire spends his time? Trying to break the talent?’ That was just his thing. The whole spinaroonie thing and all of that—it was just him trying to get me to bust character. You’d think he’d be like ‘Man, you guys should watch that, that’s what you should be doing’ but nah.”

The Undertaker also criticized pro wrestlers who break character on social media, as he knows the value of keeping kayfabe alive. Nonetheless, The Undertaker ultimately never cracked no matter how much Vince McMahon tried and that remains something The Undertaker is still proud of no matter what.
