10 Best WWE Stories Told On Steve Austin’s Podcast

2. "Shower Boy" (The Undertaker)

One last 'Taker gem right here.

Back in 1990, the future icon walked into Vince McMahon's office to discuss what kind of character he could play on WWF TV. Halfway through the chat, Vince asked his new hire if he had any talents. 'Taker answered that he was pretty good at singing the shower, and then immediately regretted it.

Internally, he wondered if he might be renamed "Shower Boy" or something equally as wacky. It wasn't as though McMahon's WWF wasn't renowned for creating cartoony or hokey gimmicks. 'Aw sh*t', The Undertaker thought to himself. He fretted that he might've looped his own noose and ended his chances of becoming a success.

Mercifully, Vince didn't think "Shower Boy" had legs and didn't view 'Taker as a crooner who could potentially hook up with The Honky Tonk Man and Greg Valentine as the group's Frank Sinatra. During their next call, he referred to "The Undertaker", and the newbie knew that'd be his name.
