The Undertaker reveals how the infamous 'Montreal Screwjob' went down | WWE 

Undertaker needs a podcast. "Deadman Talking."

Only broke character once he retired. A true professional:

As a 90’s kid watching WWF on my broken TV, I was convinced The Undertaker slept in a coffin in a cemetery somewhere in Death Valley.

After 30 years this man has finally broken his silence. Just think of all the stories he has to tell . He is a living wrestling history book

"If you wanna know what really happened to the Screwjob, ask the Undertaker." - Bret Hart

There’s 3 sides to every WWE story from 1990-2018 -One person’s story -The other person’s story -Taker’s side(Aka the Truth)

The fact that undertaker sacrificed much of his personal life to keep up the persona for the fans and kids who loved him really shows you what kind of guy he is. A class act, and undoubtedly the most iconic wrestler in history.

*Undertaker grocery shopping Random guy: “Can you choke slam me?”

Undertaker doing so many interviews he making up for the years he never did it 😂

I literally thought Kane was his brother and he had risen from the dead

The Undertaker really was Dad in the locker room, wasn’t he?

This man is a walking cyclopedia of pro wrestling over the past 30 years. He needs to get his stories on video immediately.

Undertaker and Austin have nothing but praise for Bret. Shows you how much of a class act Bret is.

Sadness is when you're seeing your Childhood Legends getting OLD.

I think Bret dropping the title to the undertaker would have been a better compromise

I heard Roddy Piper say, talking about when people tell him he’s the “best wrestler to never hold the belt,” he always thinks about how you give the belt to someone to get them over. Taker is the best example of that. A guy who could have believably in kayfabe beaten any wrestler at any time in his career but hardly held the title because he didn’t need it.

The greatest gimmick and most respected wrestler of all time.

Literally watched this man’s whole career and found myself realizing that I’ve never heard him speak out of character.

Bret had it in his contract that he had creative control over his character for the last 30 days. One of his points was, he wouldn't drop the title in Canada. He has said he'd prefer to drop it to 'Taker, but he was also fine with forfeiting the title the next day on Raw

I love the detail of Taker taking Shawn aside and sitting next to him. That speaks so highly of this man's character and diplomacy. He knew that Shawn could escalate an already hostile situation even further so he not only removed him from the situation, he sat next to him to both silence him AND protect him should something go badly.

Its great when one of your childhood hero's turns out to be a class act

I've never in my 22 years of life heard Taker's real voice

I could sit and listen to these 'Taker interviews for days on end. Just an absolute wealth of knowledge about my childhood, and I am so glad he's doing more of these now since he's retired. What an invaluable character to the business and person to the industry. An absolute legend and I was so incredibly lucky to get to watch it live every week on television.

This is the bright side to his retirement. We finally get to hear of major incidents from the POV of the most respected man in the locker room and one who saw so much in his time.

You can tell the undertaker doesn't agree with what Vince McMahon did! He had a lot of respect for Bret Hart

My respect for Taker went up 5 levels when I heard how he flew out to Canada to look after the Hart family after Owen's death.

He’s a genius, plain and simple. The fact that he came up with an alternate way to hand over the belt to Shawn, by placing himself in the mix, shows he’s an intelligent person and a good guy, “there could have been another way.”Y’all may think it’s a small thing, but it speaks volumes.

The Undertaker truly is immortal, he hasn't really aged much since the 90s.

JUST FO DAT PLAYA, YOU GET TO GO ONE ON ONE WITH THE UNDERTAKER - Theodore Long

The screwjob should be considered an all time historic event in sports and pop media. It changed careers and companies forever afterwards.

Listening to a guy who's career spans from the end of the Cartoon era, through Attitude into WWE and you get a sense that Mark realises that everyone has been expendable to Vince and only his sense of what was right and what was wrong kept him from becoming a victim of Vince's mind games

It was Rick Rude. The other guy he couldn’t quite remember was Rick. He was right next to Bret pretty much the whole time

Jordan the last dance, Undertaker the last ride.

It’s been like 25 years and I still click when ever I see screw job.

These backstage stories are way better than the wrestling today

"Vince, we need a decision!" Vince: "Hold on, let me run it by Taker." "There's no time!" Vince: *gulp* "Boss isn't gonna like this..."

Just imagine you're pissed about anything, and then The Undertaker is coming to you and telling you to calm down. I would be scared to death.

This pretty much confirms Bret's recount of the story...it's refreshing to see true honesty from somebody.

It's a shame things didn't go down the way The Undertaker suggested. Because I am certain Bret would of dropped the belt to him. One thing that seems the be true about The Undertaker is he was really well respected by everyone in WWE. He just comes across as a really decent stand up kind of guy.

""He couldnt let bret leave with the belt and end up at wcw", from a business perspective, Vince did the right but morally that was the worst way to do it. Taker was one of the most loyal company men and he was a leader in the ring and out of the ring/backstage

I've never been more proud to be a kid during the 90s.

I could literally listen to this man talk all day, he's got decades buried in kayfabe that he can finally open up about, and I want to hear all of it

If I ever see the undertaker I’ll ask him for a hug and thank him for all the good memories

I love that taker knows all the terms for punches since he’s such a big UFC fan. “Looping overhand right” on point

"I mean cheating in a fake fight... that's low"

That’s why this is one of the goat. He’s a real dude who always looked out for everyone

I have to give Mark(Undertaker)much deserved credit for the professional that he’s always been. I could hear that he was trying to take all sides into consideration, but he also believed in what was right and stood up for his peers as long as they maintained their professionalism. From what I’m hearing, he must have had a sixth sense in him that he had a sense that something might happen in the match.

My god after Undertakers Hall of Fame induction where he got a 15 minute standing ovation, this is so cool to hear him FINALLY speak. He really was the King of the locker room. I love this man.

So glad taker is coming out of his shell. People are getting to see what other wrestlers have always said about him. Definitely on my Mt Rushmore

I can sit and listen to Taker talk about the wrestling biz all day

This man made me afraid of the dark as a kid 😂 living legend

I have been a Undertaker fan since he first appeared on Survivor series November 22nd 1990. I have always respected him and his character portrayal. I can't wait to see him inducted into the WWE HoF. It will be a sad day as it will finally hit home that I will never see him in the ring again.

4:05 The punch got through coz Bret Hart's "The Excellence of Execution"

Those eyes are intense even when he is out of character.

I was never a massive Undertaker fan, but after seeing this I have a lot more respect for his craft. The man has dozens of finishers, and they're all spectacular.

Getting to hear Mark tell these stories is great. Undertaker was a phenomenal character. Mark put his heart and soul into it. That is why it lasted so long.

Love he remembers all of this. Lots of wrestlers tend to “forget.”

I’m 40 this year and I’m so unbelievably happy taker is healthy enough to do these interviews. Thank you taker for over 20 years of memorable moments.

Tbf if vince said to me “I’d give you one” I’d punch him also..

undertaker is a true professional, highly highly respected by his peers and the fans

Now when Taker speaks on this, I am all ears, much respect to him

To hear Undertaker thoughts about the most controversial night in wrestling history is nothing short of refreshing and interesting as I've always wanted to hear his take on the Montreal screwjob with Vince Mcmahon and Bret Hart. I could listen to his stories for hours as he is so honest, a true legend and a real first class act.

It's surreal to see and hear the Undertaker without his spooky voice. The only time I cried watching the WWE was during WM30. He'll always be the Greatest gimmick in wrestling history.

How The Undertaker made himself a legend, is how every other legend did; You give something the fans haven't seen before, and can't be imitated in every possible way. Not just in character, but the entire style. Verbage, look, even all the way down to how they walk, and get in and out of the ring. Even how they deliver a punch or kick. I always say that every single legend, no matter who it is, could be in the ring, as a silhouette with the same size and shape of the silhouette across from them, and you could tell within about 15 seconds or less of the bell ringing who you were looking at anyway. Every single legend is that way, as is The Undertaker. We haven't seen a new legend in the making in forever, because so few have the nuances down to pass the silhouette test in the ring. They may play different characters. But they don't 'become' them enough to give them a unique life.

things that are indefinite: the undertaker's streak the undertaker's career the undertaker saying "you know"

I remember when the Undertaker made his first appearance on WWF, I was only 10 years old at the time and I was like "Who is this guy" then I saw him do the Tombstone for the first time and I was hooked. I'm 40 now and it's crazy to still see the Deadman still doing his thing.

This whole story is evidence how Taker was the leader and general in the locker. The way he controlled the situation by not allowing others in the locker room when Bret and Vince had their bust up back stage. I honestly believe the main reason Bret didn't try to kill Vince is because Taker was there to prevent it to getting to that level.

Undertaker is such a legend. Love this guy.

'You should have booked me with Bret'. This is why McMahon now has to listen to Taker. Its a shame about WW30.

I agree that Bret would have gladly dropped the title to Undertaker

Greatest entertainer in WWE of all time. His entrances were always scary and exciting to watch.THE UNDERTAKER!

So awesome to hear these stories from The Undertaker's point of view. As a fan since childhood it was always in question whether he would eventually write a book or just break character altogether and unveil his insight from such a legendary career. The fascinating thing about the Montreal Screw Job is no Screw Job no Mr. McMahon character, no Mr. McMahon character no Stone Cold Steve Austin versus Mr. McMahon and his goons storylines. It all somehow came together as it needed to be. In a way the Screw Job helped launch the Attitude Era. An amazing era for us wrestling fans that we still talk about today, and hold in such high regard.

Everyone talks about Undertaker is on everyone's GOAT list. I don't have him on my GOAT wrestlers list. I feel like he needs his own one. Like I don't look at him as a wrestler. I look at him like it's "The Undertaker". He's a larger than life figure. I have to keep him apart from all the GOATS because he's just something else.

His story completely corroborates the version told in "The Dark Side of the Ring." Very cool.

Man i would love to hang out with Taker and listen to his stories, ask some questions. This guys has been my favorite wrestler since i was in elementary school and no one has ever replaced him. I used to look him up on the internet to see what he was really like in real life. There was almost nothing online back in the day. Seeing him in Broken Skull Sessions was so weird to me.

Your never gonna lose the Undertaker look

Taker has EARNED the respect of his peers, the fans and the WWE. Also - the fact he waited until Don Jardine retired before walking the ropes speaks volumes about the character of the man.

Hearing Undertaker talk out of character is crazy. He's very well spoken and so humble.

“Someone said why don’t you watch the match in Vince’s office.” I’ll bet Prichard told ‘Taker that.

I am a 52 year old man and have to say I appreciate this guy. He lends a younger mindset to us old guys and it makes the show with Michael and Mr. Lagreca much more entertaining.Very good interview 👍 Thank you sir!!

He sounds like just a random dude from Texas when he’s out of character lol

Game recognize Game. Bret's beef was with Shawn, I believe he would've played ball with Taker.

The true legend and my all-time favourite.. I have been watching him since a was a kid...

I can listen to Taker speak about the past for hours. Im 39 so this was all from my era. I been a fan since 1989/90

It’s cool seeing the Undertaker alive and well 😁 Too many of my favorites have passed and it’s sad seeing how little the WWE helps after they leave the ring.

I've been waiting years to hear these kind of shoot interviews with Taker. Awesome to hear him talk about the business so candidly.

Goes to show the type of person MArk is, that he's trusted by his peirs and by management. That is so rare in any company.

I wish I could have seen him defend the streak. Taker was always the best part of WM

I use to actually think this dude was a demon lol I’d think he’d be in the dark shadows of the corner of my room 😂😂

You have been everywhere Taker since that documentary lol

Undertaker has so much wisdom, and stories, to share. I could listen to him speak all day.

'The phenom' the undertaker our deadman 💪 our Legend Forever 💚

My God, the backstage stories that this legend could tell us. So many years, so many wrestlers come and gone, you know he knows things.

That Bret Hart incident is really deep and then his brother died in the ring 18 months later. WWE screwed Bret Hart bad.

It's incredibly impacting to see Undertaker breaking character and speaking with his normal voice. It's sad to see this Legend age.

Taker is one of a kind.

I read somewhere Vince was actually hiding somewhere backstage and the Undertaker had a very serious talk with him and somehow convinced him to talk with Bret, which led to the him getting punched.

This is the first time I ever heard him talk, I wondered as a kid what he sounds like..... 20+years later

Thank you for the post. Thank you taker for speaking up and clarifying things

Man undertaker was such a huge part of my childhood it's crazy he's gone 😢
