It's going to be one of the most iconic moments in WWE history when Vince McMahon inducts The Undertaker into the Hall Of Fame right before WrestleMania 38. Millions will applaud a timeless career, but...'Taker is concerned he's going to "lose his composure a little bit".

Explaining, he told Satin that being in front of a wrestling crowd as himself is nerve-wracking stuff. "It's always been really difficult for me to continue on with conversations as Mark Calaway in these settings". His soft retirement at Survivor Series 2020 doesn't count, because there weren't any fans there.

The HOF is different.

Being himself in front of others is unnatural and daunting for the guy. He recalled one of his surgeons asking if he'd speak publicly at a medical convention a few years ago. The Undertaker would've been fine, but Calaway (without the gimmick) was all over the place.
