20 Things You Didn't Know About The Undertaker
13. Vince McMahon Wasn't A Fan At First
Tough though it might be to believe these days, Vince McMahon's first impression of The Undertaker was anything but stellar, as explained by Bruce Prichard:
"[Vince] wasn't high on Mark in WCW...I asked him to watch a pay-per-view, take a look at him, and we had a meeting set up, he was meeting Mean Mark working with Lex Luger. And Mark had dislocated his hip and he still worked the match because I said 'Hey listen, Vince is watching. Time to put your working boots on.' And it wasn't like you were gonna get a great match out of Luger.
Add to that a dislocated hip and it wasn't the greatest match in the world. And Vince just saw a tall, redheaded basketball player. So there wasn't a lot of interest but then finally when we got the two of them together where they could meet, hard not to fall in love with him."
Given Vince's pettiness, can you imagine how different the WWE landscape would've been if he simply decided never to meet with the future Deadman in person? Crazy.
