9. The Undertaker Was Close To Signing With WCW
We noted a few weeks back that WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels was very close to signing with WCW back in the 1990s. HBK said he wanted to be with his buddies in WCW but Vince stopped him from jumping ship and Shawn admits it was the right decision.
In a recent interview with Extra Mustard, WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash reveals that The Undertaker was also very close to signing with WCW during the Monday Night Wars.
Kevin Nash had the following to say about why The Undertaker didn’t jump ship to WCW:
“We had ‘Taker close. All of a sudden he wasn’t the Deadman. He became the American Badass for a reason. That Deadman wasn’t going to f—in’ come to WCW. He would have been the biker character and gone by Mark Calaway. All along, I was trying to get guys money, I was trying to get guys paid. And what happened was Vince started giving huge guarantees to the Shawns and Undertakers and those guys and said, ‘I can’t lose my core guys.’”
