Vince admitted that managing WWE is a team task and that the WWE programming is a team effort. From signing a new wrestler to creating a new storyline, it is all done by a group of people.
Up until now, there have been multiple stories about how the WWE wrestlers tried to get The Undertaker to break his character on live TV. However, Vince McMahon confessed during the podcast that he also wanted ‘Taker to break his character.
The WWE chairman said, “It’s a team effort. Take ‘Taker [The Undertaker] for example. We could never break him, ever. I tried so many times. Even on camera, taking a risk trying to break him. Never could.”
This speaks volumes about Mark Calaway’s dedication to his on-screen persona throughout his career that helped him retain the mystique and aura around his moniker.
