13 Things We Learned From The Undertaker On Joe Rogan Experience
4. He Nearly Jumped Buzz Sawyer
In a call back to his early tale of how Buzz Sawyer skipped town after the young Mark Calaway had paid him $2,000 to train him, the Undertaker later goes on to explain a couple of additional titbits about his interactions with Sawyer.
Firstly, when Calaway found Buzz had made a swift exit, he also discovered that the amateur standout had left his dogs behind - which the big Texan took for himself.
Most interestingly, Mark and Buzz later found themselves in the same dressing room. While Sawyer was oblivious as to who Mark Calaway was, it was soon made clear to him when the rookie revealed he'd taken his dogs. Due to being new in the business and not wanting to blackball himself, 'Taker opted against fighting Buzz, although he so nearly jumped this rip-off merchant shortly after.
As the Undertaker breaks it down:
"I remember one night I had a chance. I don't know, sometimes I think I should've took it. I was looking out my hotel window, and [by] this hotel there was a waffle house. I was looking out my window, I could see in the waffle house, I could see him. He was by himself, he was all f**ked up, he was all pilled up, you could tell, he was bobbing. I'm thinking, 'F**k, I could go hide behind a car right now and just f**king tee off on him'. One, no one would care, and no one would know. So I'm having this battle with myself. It's like 3 in the morning, like, 'F**k, no, don't do it, don't do it. F**k yeah, do it'. I didn't do it. There'd have been me on camera somewhere."
