Previously, several individuals have talked about receiving some special messages or instructions or advice from The Undertaker. ‘The Phenom’ has given several years of his life to Vince McMahon’s WWE. Thus, given his experience in this pro wrestling business, he has acted as a mentor to several individuals.

But you might not be aware that Vince McMahon himself once assigned The Undertaker to guide Drew McIntyre. McIntyre had Taker as his mentor in the early stages of his WWE career.

During an interview with Sports Illustrated, McIntyre talked about The Undertaker mentoring him. He also revealed one important advice that the WWE legend gave him almost 15 years ago.

McIntyre said, “As The Undertaker once told me, ‘Don’t play the wrestler. Be the wrestler.’ At the time, Taker was my mentor, a role assigned by Vince [McMahon], and I had no idea what he was talking about.”

“Now, almost 15 years later, I have a much different appreciation for his lessons. I know who I am every time I step out there, and I know what I’m aiming for; and that’s Roman,” he added.

Did The Undertaker and Drew McIntyre ever compete against each other in a match in WWE?

The answer is yes. Though they have not competed against each other in a singles match, McIntyre and The Phenom had been on the opposite ends of a tag team match, also involving Roman Reigns and Shane McMahon.
