ED YOUNG: Have you ever wrestled Andre (the Giant)?
UNDERTAKER: I never got the chance to wrestle Andre. By the time that I got there his health was really in decline. He wrestled a few times. And it was funny because Andre really was Old School and Andre didn’t like big guys either.
He loved me (though). Thank goodness! But for most big guys, I don’t know, he thought they were arrogant or bullies whatnot. He was Andre the Giant at the time, biggest star, at that time that has been in wrestling, world wide phenomenon.
He was always the first guy in the locker room. He was always there. He loved to sit there and play Cribbage before he’d go. And I’d come in and I’d say, “Hey boss, how’re you doing today?” (Andre:) “Good. One day kid, me and you. I have an idea.” I was like,”Oh really boss? Tell me about it?” And he’d never tell me.
He was old school. He didn’t want anybody else to do it because he thought he was gonna get to a point where he could get back in the ring and we could do this and have a really big deal. So no one knows what it was. He ended up passing away and he never let me know. I wonder to this day.
