NEW DELHI: In a recent episode of "Six Feet Under" with Mark Calaway, wrestling legend The Undertaker (real name Mark Calaway) playfully crafted his version of a Mount Rushmore for big men in the wrestling world. However, he couldn't resist injecting some humor into the conversation when discussing notable omissions.
The Undertaker, a WWE Hall of Famer with a career spanning decades, named Vader and Yokozuna as the first two legends to be chiseled onto his hypothetical Mount Rushmore of big men. Yet, when it came to honorable mentions, the conversation took an amusing turn.
In a lighthearted tone, The Undertaker jokingly left out two iconic figures from his list: The Big Show (Paul Wight) and Mark Henry. The reason? Their recent association with All Elite Wrestling (AEW).
Both The Big Show and Mark Henry made headlines with their surprising moves to AEW. The Big Show, after an impressive 21-year stint in WWE, joined AEW in February 2021. Mark Henry followed suit three months later, signing with the Tony Khan-led promotion after an illustrious 25-year career in WWE.
"Can I have an honorable mention list, at least?" The Undertaker quipped during the podcast. "Because I mean there's guys like Mark Henry that was a phenomenal big man. The Big Show. Oh my gosh, man. Okay, hey, you guys shouldn't have left our company. You shouldn't have went to the other place! That worked against you in the final four here!"
The Undertaker's humorous take on the situation reflects the friendly banter often seen among wrestling veterans. Fans are sure to appreciate the legendary figure's wit as he navigates the landscape of wrestling history, acknowledging the impact of big men while injecting a dose of good-natured ribbing into the conversation.
