The Undertaker has told of his 'Eggman' fears before, but the story never gets old and it definitely doesn't feel out of place in this short romp through his light-hearted moments. Back before debuting at the 1990 Survivor Series, Mark Calaway was sh*tting bricks that the egg being teased on TV was for him.

That worry turned to relief soon after.

Vince McMahon called Calaway and asked, "Is this The Undertaker?". Mark realised that "The Undertaker" didn't have anything to do with giant eggs, and went along with it. "Yes, this is The Undertaker", he replied, thinking that this mysterious new gimmick the boss had in mind would stop him from being a laughing stock.

The egg was for The Gobbledy Gooker, not Calaway. It's incredible to think that one of WWE's biggest legends was shaking with fear at the prospect of becoming an eggs-traordinary joke so soon after breaking into McMahon's promotion.
