#3 The Undertaker’s first meeting with Vince McMahon

After deciding to leave WCW, The Undertaker visited Vince McMahon at his house to hold a meeting about potentially joining WWE.

McMahon asked the former WCW star to tell him if he had any hidden talents. He replied by saying he was a good singer – something he instantly regretted, just in case he was given a “Shower Guy” gimmick.

Even though he thought the meeting went well, 'Taker was told by McMahon that WWE did not have a role for him at that time.

#4 He thought WWE would call him “Egg Man”

In 1990, WWE repeatedly showed a huge egg on the stage area in the weeks leading up to Survivor Series. As it turned out, the egg hatched at the PPV and it led to the debut of the Gobbledy Gooker.

Before the PPV, Vince McMahon called Calaway and referred to him as “The Undertaker” over the phone. He initially thought McMahon might want to give him an outlandish “Egg Man” gimmick – so much so that he convinced himself “to the point where his stomach hurt” that he would be involved in the egg storyline.

However, the WWE Chairman did not want 'Taker to have anything to do with the egg. Instead, he debuted a few weeks later as "The Deadman" character.
