"Kiss my a**" - The Undertaker responds to WWE accusations

The Undertaker has responded to accusations against him in WWE. The Phenom called time on his storied career of three decades in WWE in 2020 and was inducted into the Hall of Fame two years later.

Over the years, there have been stories of The Undertaker being a locker room leader and having major pull backstage. This has led many fans to believe that he exerted his influence to get his way or help his wife, Michelle McCool, in WWE.

During a conversation with McCool on Six Feet Under, 'Taker dismissed these accusations, saying that he would have never used his clout that way. He said apart from being blessed with a glorious in-ring career, he was proud of how he was perceived and respected by his peers.

"I'm pretty sure if you ask 99.5% of the guys that I've ever been in a dressing room with or worked in a territory with, they're gonna tell you that as much clout as I supposedly have, or even if I do, I never, ever would have used it for that kind of cr*p," he said.

He then mentioned that he has a very small inner circle of people whose opinions he cares about.

"My inner circle of people and the guys that I shared that dressing room with, they know the truth. And as long as they know the truth. And anybody that doesn't believe any of that, they can all line up single file, I'll bend over, and they can line up and kiss my a**. That's just the way it is," he added.

The accusations around The Deadman using his influence grew after the former WWE Women's Champion Mickie James was removed from the Legends & Future Greats (LFG) reality show and replaced by Michelle McCool.

The Undertaker's new role in WWE

About the author

Sherjeel Malik is a writer at Sportskeeda and covers pro wrestling. He was hooked on the product from the moment he saw The Hardy Boyz jumping off ladders during the Attitude Era. While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.

While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.

Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.

If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.

When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
