"Screw that" - The Undertaker throws shade at WWE legend Hulk Hogan

The Undertaker subtly threw shade at WWE legend Hulk Hogan recently. The Phenom, who is signed to a Legends Deal with the company, has been making quite a few candid appearances for interviews and podcast sessions lately. These interactions have led to fans coming across a rare and casual side of the icon.

The Deadman made an appearance on the 'Mic Check with Mr. Anderson,' hosted by the former WWE star known as Mr. Kennedy. Towards the end of the conversation, The Undertaker was asked who he would like to see play him in a potential biopic.

“Oh, man. They’d have to be tall, extremely good-looking. I don’t know, man... I need somebody with a little bit more edge to him. Who's that guy that plays Thor? Or maybe Jason Momoa?... Right, all tatted up too,” he said. [59:10 onwards]

'Taker's mention of Thor led to the speaker bringing up Chris Hemsworth, saying that he is supposed to be playing Hulk Hogan in his biopic. This drew a quick and short response from The Undertaker.

"Oh, screw that," he replied. [59:40 onwards]

The Undertaker and Hogan share a storied history in WWE. 'Taker beat The Hulkster at Survivor Series in 1991 to win his first WWE Championship. The two met again over a decade later, when The American Bad*ss overcame Hogan to win the WWE Undisputed Championship at Judgment Day in 2002.

The Undertaker talked about Hulk Hogan being booed at RAW's Netflix premiere

The Undertaker was brutally honest when he talked about the fans booing Hogan on the RAW Netflix premiere in January. In contrast, The Phenom received a loud pop when he made his way to the ring.

"Hey man, I got feelings. I got feelings for people. Like, sometimes in life, things come back," he said on the Six Feer Under podcast. [0:52-1:00]

Regarding Hulk Hogan's biopic, director Todd Phillips confirmed that the movie was scrapped.

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.
