WWE legend "The Phenom" The Undertaker, who will be headlining the 2022 WWE Hall of Fame class, spoke with Dallas Morning News on a variety of topics, including how he has no clue what WWE Chairman Vince McMahon is planning to do or going to say during his WWE Hall of Fame Induction speech and that he is a little bit nervous because there’s no one that the WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon loves to play practical jokes on more than him.
The Undertaker said:
“I have absolutely no clue what he’s going to say.” “I’m a little bit nervous, there’s no one that Vince loves to play practical jokes on more than me. The fact that the Hall Of Fame is on April Fool’s Day, who knows what’s going to happen. I do know it’s going to be emotional, I am not sure to what lengths he will go to not to completely fall apart and be emotional.”
The Undertaker also talked about how things have gone quiet since he asked the WWE Chairman to induct him, so he doesn't know what to even expect from Vince.
The Undertaker said:
“We’ve almost had radio silence here for the last few weeks after I asked him to induct me. So, I have no idea what to even begin to expect from him.”
The Undertaker then spoke about the time he had a coat made for WrestleMania and how it fit perfectly then, but when he had to wear the same coat on the 700th episode of RAW and as he takes his coat off, the coat folds and it basically gets stuck on his mitts.
The Undertaker said:
“I had this coat made for WrestleMania, it was unbelievable, it was one of the hooded ones. I didn’t wear a hat so I wore the hooded one. The thing has got these huge spines on it, it was one of the really cool coats that I had. At WrestleMania, I wore it, the thing, it came off perfectly, it just slipped right down off my back. It was flawless, thank goodness.”
“A couple of months later they were about to have the 700th episode of Raw. They called me and said, ‘Hey, would you come do the 700th episode of Raw, it’ll be you and Kane going against two guys, need you to go out there, pretty much crush them, do a little Brothers Of Destruction, and that’s it.’ I was like, ‘sure, absolutely.’ So, I said, ‘I’m going to wear that coat again,’ I hadn’t worn it since.”
“Our opponents made their entrance, Kane makes his entrance, I make my entrance. As I go to take my coat off, the coat folds. It basically gets stuck on my mitts, my MMA mitts. The more I tug to try get out of them, the tighter it gets. Because the leather on this coat was really thick. I can’t get out of this coat, right? It’s Monday Night Raw, it’s live TV.”
