A WWE Hall of Famer got into an argument with Vince McMahon the day before his WWE retirement.
As arguably Vince McMahon’s greatest gimmick, The Undertaker has always had a close relationship with the WWE Executive Chairman of the Board. The two men have a long documented close relationship from working together for over three decades in the company.
During a new interview with Ariel Helwani, Taker revealed that Vince McMahon told him the day before that he was stepping away from WWE this past July. He said:
“He called me the day before he announced it and we got in an argument because I thought he was ribbing me. I said, ‘There’s no way. There is absolutely no way you’re stepping away.’”
“He was like, ‘No, This is what I’m going to do.’ I’m like, ‘Why are you (bleeped out) with me? This is me.’ We ended up going at it a little bit. Finally, I was like, ‘Alright. Okay.’ Sure enough, the next day, Vince resigned, but I knew there’s no way he’d stay away.”
“Even in this role, I think it’s going to be challenging for him. I mean, that’s his baby, man. He’s the one that created this whole thing. I know he wants to make sure these TV deals and everything are done the right way.”
“Right now, that’s his sole motivation, but that’s Vince McMahon. I don’t know. We’ll see where it goes, but a WWE without Vince is, for me, hard to imagine.”
