Being able to do this job in WWE for over 30 years, it is no surprise that everyone in the locker room listened to him. It isn’t a stretch to say that there would be no WWE if Taker wouldn’t act as the leader for decades. While some people might say that he is overrated, The Deadman has proven himself several times. But just because Taker was loved by everyone, doesn’t mean he didn’t get any heat.

Former WWE star revealed the rare backstage heat of The Undertaker with another superstar

Former WWE star Sir Mo came on Hannibal TV and talked about the heat between The Undertaker and former winner of the King of the Ring, King Mabel. He revealed there was a ‘face-off’ with a lot of yelling between Taker and Mabel.

“But, as far as a physical fight, I never witnessed one… Taker was the locker room leader, … he felt that it was his responsibility to correct the young dudes.”

He continued, “So, as far as their conversation and what it was about…, I respect the process. Mark [The Undertaker’s real name] wasn’t one of those guys that just bullied anybody. Him and Nelson [Nelson Frazier, Mabel’s real name] pretty much had a really good relationship in spite of things.

Thus, Taker was able to avoid a physical fight with the giant.

Sir Mo further said that Mabel, who was 6ft 9 inches tall and was around 500 lbs, had a bad reputation but wasn’t a bad person.

McMahon knew that he could always rely on Taker if the business wasn’t running the most smoothly.
