“Literally all the air went out of the room. He says, ‘Are we really going to go with this guy?’ Vince goes, ‘What do you mean? What’s the problem?’ He says, ‘He looks like he cuts my grass, man’, and Vince laughed.” It would be just a build up for The Undertaker to have something to do so he could smash this guy and then get rolling over to Edge. This is not a guy that would get any sort of offense on The Undertaker. All of a sudden out of nowhere, Hunter says ‘Are we seriously going with this guy?’ Remember, this is not a Pay-Per-View match.
#Undertaker debut tv
Here comes our segment and nobody said boo the last two weeks or even three weeks of TV that we got out of it. “So we’re in the production meeting and everyone’s putting their segments through. We shot this but we shot this before the show because this was the tape show, not the live one, so you had more time to accomplish these goals.” Related Storyįreddie continued on to explain how the idea was eventually shot down in a production by none other than Triple H, saying: We shoot the promo and it’s the best one that he’s done so far. So we’re building up, I think we get two weeks of TV out of it” He’s not calling out The Undertaker, but he’s speaking about The Undertaker, and you’re just waiting to figure out what the reason for it is. We start shooting these little segments and they’re airing on television. So we get the story approved by Freebird, and then we get it approved by Vince. “So he’s cutting these promos and he’s doing a good job.
He looked real cool, but he definitely was a smaller guy, smaller than me. He had a shaved head and a bit of a beard. He had this accent and he sounded smooth when he spoke. I have anger and love for you.’ He was a British guy. They look kind of like 80s grainy and he had these messages for The Undertaker that he would come in with, ‘His (Undertaker’s) time is nearing and now it’s going to be my time. So we started hacking the feed on Thursday night SmackDown back then, and they would be kind of grainy pictures. We write this promo and he’s sort of hacking into the network feed. We throw it to Michael and Freebird is like, ‘Yeah, whatever’. Yes, that would be a father killing his son, but he’s not really killing him, I just mean like smashing him in the ring.” I don’t remember who said it, but one of us said, ‘What if he claimed The Undertaker was his father?’ Somebody else said, ‘I don’t think anyone will buy that but maybe it could be like in a supernatural sense.’ He’s getting killed anyways, he’s getting smashed up. We’re kind of spitting ideas around and nothing’s really clicking. All our brains kind of went to the same place right away, which would be like a cultish kind of figure worshipers of The Undertaker and things like that.
So the three of us sat down and we started talking about this. “So it was Angelo Fazio, Chris DeJoseph, and me. So they wanted us to find someone from FCW that we could bring up, assign a gimmick to, and basically smash and destroy him for The Undertaker.” But they wanted us to have it be someone that could mean something. I don’t remember who and before we could get Taker to Edge, they wanted someone that we could just run through. “We received a note from Vince that said Undertaker needed an opponent to run through before the next Pay-Per-View storyline.
