The Undertaker (Mark Calaway) gave an interview with Ariel Helwani recently where the subject of Vince McMahon's "retirement" was brought up. and who the Undertaker Hates! "The Deadman" noted that, were it up to McMahon, the multi-time former world champion never would've fully retired and would still be in the ring delivering chokeslams every now and then in front of WWE fans. But when McMahon claimed in July 2022 that he was retiring in the midst of multiple sexual misconduct scandals and inquiries from the SEC and federal prosecutors, Calaway never bought it for a second. McMahon called him the day before his announcement, prompting an argument between the two.
"He called me the day before he announced it and we got in an argument because I thought he was ribbing me. I said, 'There's no way. There is absolutely no way you're stepping away.' He was like, 'No, This is what I'm going to do.' I'm like, 'No man, why are you f—ing with me? This is me.' We ended up going at it a little bit," Calaway said. "Finally, I was like, 'Alright. Okay.' Sure enough, the next day, Vince resigned, but I knew there was no way he'd stay away. Even in this role, I think it's going to be challenging for him. I mean, that's his baby, man. He's the one that created this whole thing. I know he wants to make sure these TV deals and everything are done the right way. And right now, I think that's his sole motivation, but that's Vince McMahon. I don't know. We'll see where it goes, but a WWE without Vince is, for me, hard to imagine."
Thanks for watching I
