Original Co-Host Of Undertaker’s Podcast Reveals How He Found Out WWE Took Over

In an interview with Maven for his Youtube channel (via Fightful), Matt Lyda, the original co-host of the Undertaker’s Six Feet Under podcast, revealed how he learned WWE was taking over. Undertaker now hosts the podcast with his wife, Michelle McCool. Lyda noted that there were no hard feelings on his end.

Lyda said: “So we just got done filming one of my heroes in the sport, Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts, and Diamond Dallas Page, who I’ve been friends with for a while. They came in, we filmed, we batch shoot. The last episode that we shot that day was me and Mark talking, which was going to be the first episode of that kind of group that would go out. So we do that, get it done. I do what I always do, and say, ‘How’s everything going? How’s the wife, kids, all that stuff? How’s the home?’ He goes, ‘I really want to talk to you about some stuff.’ I was like, ‘Okay.’ I thought that he was about to tell me, ‘I’m done, you know, that he was gonna quit altogether, yeah? Just too much. I thought he was just gonna be like, ‘Hey man, LFG, everything else. I’m done, just too much on my plate.’ He’s like, ‘Hey, the podcast’s gonna be taken over by WWE. We’re gonna move in that direction.’ I had no clue at that point. I was like, ‘So I’m assuming that this is the end of my run on this.’ He goes, ‘Yeah, unfortunately.’“
