Last week, we revealed how The Undertaker feared he might end up being The Gobbledy Gooker when he debuted in the WWF. This week, we have to hold our hands up and admit we missed something from that 'Out Of Character' interview with Pastor Ed Young. It's too good to leave out.

When 'Taker clapped eyes on Michelle McCool working a WWE tryout, he found his 'Deadman' heart beating out of his 'Deadman' chest.

This was troublesome to the legend, because he'd long admonished co-workers for getting themselves into relationships with others in the business, and he didn't want to be seen to go back on his own advice. At the same time, he couldn't stop his feelings, and he had to see if McCool felt the same way about him.

Alas, she did, and the pair started dating then eventually married. Part of 'Taker still kicks himself for breaking his own personal rule and becoming romantically linked to someone also on the road.
