WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker was a legend in the wrestling world. ‘The Deadman’ had several memorable moments in his WWE career, including a 21-WrestleMania Streak, beating HHH at WrestleMania 28, a feud with Brock Lesnar, and many more. However, before cementing his position in the WWE universe, Taker was a basketball player.

Recently, Taker’s wife Michelle McCool shared a picture of him showing his amazing basketball move on Instagram.

In addition, Taker and his wife McCool went to the Special Olympics USA. The Special Olympics is a sports organization that provides opportunities for children and adults with intellectual disabilities to take part in sports.

During the event, The Deadman showed off his outstanding basketball talents at the event. Sharing a photo of Taker, McCool wrote on her Instagram story, “IDK why @undertaker is eyeballing Torch like that.” In case you didn’t know, The Undertaker was a part of the Texas Wesleyan University basketball team for one year.

However, because of his wrestling reputation, WWE fans may find it strange that ‘The Phenom’ was a basketball player. Also, a European scout proposed Taker a contract to play professional basketball in France, indicating that he was clearly talented. Also, given his ability, skills, and athleticism, he would have had a lot of success if he had chosen to become a basketball player.
