The Undertaker notes that fans are getting to know Mark Calaway better

Since retiring from professional wrestling, WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker has been showing fans his real personality. While speaking on the most recent episode of the Six Feet Under with Mark Calaway podcast, The Deadman shared how he’s glad fans get to see “Mark” more often.

The Undertaker also joked that since he is no longer in character, some fans may feel like Mark Calaway ruined their entire childhood.

“Yes (Fans get to know who Mark Calaway really is). I think that’s kind of the new thing about it. It’s to hear me, hear Mark. And not… And then still funny people talking about, ‘It’s funny to hear him talk like a normal person.’ I don’t have Undertaker’s voice. And then I get… I also understand that I ruined their childhood when I broke kayfabe. I’m the only one who has Kayfabed. I was the last. And then I’m the one who ruined everyone’s childhood. Because I was the one who broke kayfabe last. So, like… Really?’

The Undertaker broke character while talking to Mark Henry

The Deadman also shared a funny story about how he burst out laughing when Mark Henry talked about the time he threatened to kill Shawn Michaels and the rest of the Kliq.

“Well, it was Mark who broke (character). Because I remembered, so I don’t have to… I don’t have to keep a straight face anymore. So as soon as he said it, and he said it so casually, that was the problem. I couldn’t because I remembered the whole thing and I was like (mimics laughter) because Mark… Mark… You interviewed (Chris Van Vliet) Mark Henry?

“Yes. So Mark (Henry) not smiling is a very intimidating man. But Mark laughs, it’s like a big old teddy bear. Right? There’s such a contrast. But man, he said that and I couldn’t. .. I know he meant it and that he meant it. But I couldn’t help it. ‘Cause I can’t tell you how many times he called me with Mark at different times of the night: ‘Dead, I’m on it. about to kill someone.” And I’m like, ‘Mark, let’s think about this. Let’s talk about it, Mark.’ “No. They did this to…” I’m like, “Okay, but Mark, let’s put the brakes on a little bit because you know what’s going to happen if you hurt someone.” “I know. But they have to stop with me.” (Laughs) “I know they do, Mark. I know, but…” the undertaker said.
