"Doesn't matter how bad ass you are - there's gonna' be a protective mother!"

Shane McMahon told ESPN that The Undertaker's mother pulled him to one side before he worked with her son at WrestleMania 32. Mrs. 'Taker had a bone to pick with Shane.

She'd watched in horror as McMahon beat 'The Deadman' senseless on an episode of Raw before the pay-per-view, and she wanted to let Shane know that he'd "gone down a couple of notches" in her mind.

Meanwhile, The Undertaker just stood there mortified as mummy dearest grilled his opponent on the biggest show of the year for busting him open; Shane had accidentally drawn blood from 'Taker's eye during a beatdown segment, and that raised the ire of the lady who raised a 'Phenom'.

'Taker couldn't believe what was happening.

His mother did make sure to tell McMahon that he'd always been "one of her favourites", but she'd seen his attacks on TV and was having none of that. God only knows what she thought of the violence during their Hell In A Cell match at 'Mania.

Shane was humbled by her approach, but joked he now knows where 'Taker gets his warrior spirit from.

Hopefully, The Undertaker's mother doesn't see that Photoshop effort (it's not his actual mother, obviously).
