The Undertaker and Vince McMahon share a very special bond. Vince McMahon certainly had a big role to play in The Undertaker’s WWE career. He believed in The Undertaker and provided him with the platform that Taker needed. And what followed next is something legendary.

In an episode of Kevin Hart’s show “Cold as B*lls,” The Undertaker talked about his illustrious WWE career. The former WWE superstar credited Vince McMahon for giving him his shot.

He said, “I think one of the big things is the fact that I stayed there non-stop for 30 years. I was told in a different company that no one will ever pay money to see me wrestle. So, that pretty much told me where my ceiling was.”

Taker revealed the reason behind the ‘never say never’ line in the end. He admitted Vince McMahon did not like the initial ending. And so he had to put the ‘never say never’ line in the end. Well, it is obvious because Taker has always been his go-to man. So, to imagine WWE without The Undertaker is not only a difficult one to digest for the WWE Universe but also heartbreaking for the WWE chairman.
