Recently, on the first episode of season two of WWE Legends Biography Live–The Undertaker, we got an insight into Calaway’s life. In the initial few minutes, The Undertaker talked about the neighborhood he grew up in, while driving to his parent’s house.
Taker said, “Spent a lot of quiet of time on these basketball courts over here. The neighborhood hardly doesn’t resemble when I was living here. So what we moved in here in 69? 1969. That’s amazing”
The Phenom had a small conversation in the episode with his mother. After that, he introduced all of his brothers, pointing at their old photos. While introducing it seemed Taker was recollecting all the childhood memories with his brothers.
He said, “My mom was stay home mom, raised her five boys, bless her heart. Here’s a shot of all the boys. (So) brother David’s the oldest, Mike, Paul, and Tim. We lost Tim, lost a day before my last WrestleMania match.”
Taker’s mom also revealed how he was a good child growing up. To which Taker gave a funny reply to his mom, “That’s why you had five right. It took you five times to get it right. Then you quit once you got it right.”

The Deadman has given his all to the WWE, and it was proved once again as Taker revealed that he had his last match at WrestleMania 36 even after he lost his brother. This showcases how much The Undertaker sacrificed for the business.
Was The Undertaker nervous before giving his Hall of Fame speech?
Mark Calaway was very protective of his character. He wanted to keep the mystery of it as long as he wrestles. Therefore, even after 30 years, while being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, he was nervous.
In the same episode, he said, “For 30+ years….you know all they got was The Undertaker, they didn’t get what they’ll get tonight. They get Mark Calaway tonight”

Finally, the Hall of Fame Ceremony was the first event when he appeared in front of a huge crowd as not The Undertaker but as Mark Calaway.
