Ken Anderson & Shawn Daivari Recall Working With The Undertaker

– Wrestling Academy owners Ken Anderson & Shawn Daivari discussed their experiences working with the Undertaker in a new interview with Wrestling Inc. Highlights are below:

Anderson on getting an endorsement from The Undertaker before their feud: “He came up to me after I had worked with Batista at The Great American Bash and I got busted open two different times in the match, I was covered head-to-toe. He came up to me and said, ‘I saw your match with Batista, I liked it, I want to do business with you.’ And then he went to Vince and said the same, and we were married to each other for the better part of the next year. So he was fantastic to me.”

Daivari on Muhammad Hassan’s heat in the locker room: “I remember the first time they had a house show match ‘Taker was just like, ‘Everyone hates you, but f–k em, let’s just go tear the house down.’ It was something that you never saw.”

On managing Great Khali during his feud with Undertaker: “Even with Khali, they were having terrible matches. At any point in this thing I thought ‘Taker was going to go to Vince and just say, ‘I don’t want to do this anymore.’ And he never did, he went like four months of just terrible matches on house shows, on pay-er-views, on TVs.”
