10 Best Stories Of First Time Wrestlers Met Vince McMahon

When Ole Anderson told 'Mean' Mark Callous that nobody would ever pay a dime to see him wrestle in WCW, the writing was on the wall for the former Texas Red and he'd put the feelers out for WWF interest.

Those feelers were Paul Heyman - who was the on-screen manager of Mean Mark at the time - reaching out to WWF's Bruce Prichard to see gauge interest levels.

Once a meeting was arranged for Mark to head to Titan Towers, things didn't go as well as expected for the athletic big man. Having already given his notice to WCW, the one-time Punisher thought he was a shoe-in to land a WWF deal.

Speaking on Broken Skull Sessions, Undertaker detailed how that meeting ended with Vince saying the company had nothing for him. Before that statement was made, though, Mark Calaway internally feared that he was about to get landed with the gimmick of a shower singer - due to his response to a McMahon question about hidden talents being that he was pretty great at singing in the shower.

Given the slew of ludicrous gimmicks in the WWF at that time, it sounds scarily plausible that 'Taker's fears could've become reality.

From there, WWF officials would call Calaway weeks later and suggest that he try out for the god-awful Hulk Hogan movie, Suburban Commando. He'd get the part in that turdfest, then be brought to WWF and introduced as the Undertaker at the end of 1990.
