Kevin Nash Reveals He Tried Hard to Get The Undertaker to Leave WWE for WCW

The Undertaker isn’t just a character for the WWE Universe.. it’s an emotion! The retired wrestler has given the fans a plethora of memories and has been a key individual in growing the company within the wrestling industry.

However, WWE wasn’t the only company that wanted Taker. WCW wanted him too. According to news, Kevin Nash revealed he wanted to bring The Deadman to WCW and offered him a chance to change his gimmick so he doesn’t hit a plateau.

Obviously it did not happen. However, had he moved to another gimmick, it could have robbed the wrestling fans of years of thrilling promos, unbelievable matches, and whatnot!

However, Alex McCarthy pointed out that there was some amount of truth in Kevin Nash’s comment about changing Taker’s gimmick. The former Superstar did change his gimmick To The American Badass for a while, taking a break from The Undertaker gimmick.

The Undertaker lost his WrestleMania streak because of Vince McMahon

If Goldberg had a streak at WCW, The Deadman was on a WrestleMania winning streak at WWE. Once he secured the victory at WrestleMania VII, it continued until WrestleMania 30.

During this he has defeated Superstars such as Randy Orton, Ric Flair, Triple H, and others.
