In 1990, 'Taker (who wasn't quite called that yet, obviously) met with Vince McMahon for the first time in his office and found himself on the receiving end of some tough questions. McMahon asked if his potential new hire had any hidden talents, and it turned out he did.

Austin's guest liked to sing a little in the shower, and he regretted saying that as soon as those words left his mouth.

There's a funny moment during the interview here where The Undertaker shoots that he worried he might become 'Shower Boy'. He knew he was entering a different world in the WWF, and he also knew that McMahon had a penchant for creating over-the-top, cartoonish characters. Maybe keeping schtum would've been for the best.

Mercifully, Vince didn't see his new wrestler as a wrasslin' version of Frank Sinatra. He had something else in mind, and he first referred to 'Taker as "The Undertaker" when he called him up to offer a full-time gig. 'Shower Boy' wasn't to be.
