“Ego and Business”: Vince McMahon Buried WCW Legend at The Undertaker and His Wife’s Expense

Fans still remember The Undertaker from several legendary and memorable stories since they were fierce, unusual, and for a variety of other reasons. One of these included Diamond Dallas Page, a legend in WCW, who was “stalking” Taker’s wife.

DDP was a legend in the WCW and a favorite of the fans, thus he was not your average superstar. However, there weren’t many opportunities for WCW in the company when he joined WWE. In light of this, DDP was thrown into this bizarre storyline.

DDP claims that anyone may have been the stalker. Due to the fact that he had only recently joined and arrived, they forced him to be the stalked Taker’s wife and eventually lose to Taker.

The storyline between DDP and The Undertaker

The plot continues when The Phenom returns to the company after an injury; he and his wife were the focus of attention since they had just been married. However, right before she was set to appear on the show, his random stalker tapes were shown.

As this continued, Taker became increasingly enraged, and it was subsequently discovered that it was newcomer DDP who was stalking. Additionally, they later engaged in a massive battle.

DDP wasn’t happy with stalking The Undertaker’s wife Storyline

DDP stated in an interview with Give Me Sports that he first hated the concept. However, he made an effort to work as a team player. DDP’s real issue was that anybody could have played the part while performing anything like a stalker concept, but since he was a WCW guy, he was forced to.

Additionally, Stone Cold Steve Austin was first approached with this, but he declined. He stated, “They wanted [Steve] Austin to do it. And Austin is like, ‘F**k that!’ And he told me about that later and I was like. ‘You couldn’t have called me up and said that to me?!”

He added, “The deal was, and it had nothing to do with me personally. It could have been Sting or Goldberg or whoever – whoever it was was going to get fed to whoever it was in the top angle because it was ego and it was business.”
