10 Wrestlers Who Had Heat With The Undertaker
Not everyone has pleased The Deadman
9. Vince Russo
As polarising a figure as the wrestling business has ever seen, Vince Russo has both his staunch defenders and a long list of detractors.
One of the architects behind the massively successful Attitude Era, Russo’s car crash TV-style writing in the late 90s made WWE must-see TV to millions of fans.
As one of WWE’s top stars, The Undertaker was right in the thick of storylines and had Russo involved with his creative direction. ‘Taker underwent quite a transformation during this period, emerging as the leader of the satanic Ministry of Darkness stable.
As he was such a big, marketable star, Russo would always try and involve ‘Taker in some way. According to Russo, this led to some heat between the pair, as Mark Calaway was feeling more than a little banged up and resented always being asked to do something physical.
Russo didn’t hear this from The Undertaker directly, but rather from Terry Taylor (and he only heard about it after he left WWE for WCW).
Russo, in his defence, said that he always asked The Undertaker how he was feeling and claims that ‘Taker himself always said he was good to go.
