Undertaker on why Michelle McCool should be in the Hall of Fame.
The Undertaker will headline this year's class of WWE Hall of Fame inductees. Joining him will be Vader and Queen Sharmell. Queen Sharmell was in WWE during a time when women did not have a lot of wrestling time. Another woman who fits that description is The Undertaker's wife, Michelle McCool.
Speaking with the Dallas Morning News, The Undertaker said that he would like to see his wife, Michelle McCool, one day go into the WWE Hall of Fame, recalling a time that she was once reprimanded for having a good match with Melina.
“There’s several. Off the top of my head, and this is going to sound really super political, but I believe my wife [Michelle McCool] should be in," 'Taker said. "She was one working in an era where women didn’t get nearly the opportunities that they do now, and she fought so hard for the women to kind of get more of a spotlight put on them. She was actually reprimanded once for having too good of a match with Melina. That’s a true story. But for her work ethic and what she did in the time period where they weren’t given a lot of opportunity, I think she deserves a nod."
Furthermore, The Undertaker said that he could name a laundry list of men that are still yet to be in the Hall of Fame but this year, he's just trying to make it through retirement speech.
"My goodness, there’s a laundry list of male talent that I can run off. But I’m just trying to get through this one. I’ve got to get this speech put together. Then, we’ll figure out who else goes in. I’ve got papers all over the place with notes and ideas. It’s been a while since I’ve had this kind of nervous energy, if you will,” said Undertaker.
Elsewhere in the interview, he spoke about being offered the Hall of Fame for the first time after losing the streak to Brock Lesnar. Read more here.
