The Undertaker on Vince McMahon: ‘He Would Never Ask Somebody To Do Something That He Wouldn’t Do’

In an interview at the C3 Conference with Ed Young (via Wrestling Inc), The Undertaker spoke about his relationship with Vince McMahon, praising him as a boss and saying that he wouldn’t ask a worker to do something that he himself wouldn’t do. Here are highlights:

On Vince McMahon: “He’s awesome, you may see him on TV and think ‘man, I do not like that guy’, but he’s awesome. He would never ask anybody to do something he wouldn’t do, and he’s really built an empire on hard work, dedication and energy. When you see that man and see what he puts into it [WWE], you feel like ‘well, I at least have to try and match that.’ He’s an awesome leader, and I call him boss, but I think we’re more friends now than we are employee and company owner.”

On his time in WCW: “I was working for another company, and they actually told me I was going in to renegotiate the contract. They sat me down and went ‘Listen, you’re a good athlete, but no one’s ever gonna pay money to watch you wrestle.’ They said to me, and I was like ‘Really? Okay, that’s all I need to hear. We’ll see you guys down the road.’ That really stuck with me.”
