The Undertaker recalls a funny story from WrestleMania weekend.
The Undertaker was busy during WrestleMania weekend, making appearances for WWE, hosting his One Deadman Show, and showing up on WrestleMania XL Sunday.
On his Six Feet Under podcast, he also revealed that he got into an argument with a seven-year-old.
"[Larry Heck] sends me a text and says, 'such and such,' I'm going to keep it professional, 'is on your security detail tonight. His son is a big fan of yours.' I think his son is maybe 6 or 7. 'Do you mind talking to him or calling him?' 'No worries, I'll take care of it.' The security guys, they are all so professional. I think this guy is former NAVY SEAL. I waited until I was done with my meet and greet. I told the guy, 'Hey, I hear your son is a fan. Would you like me to call him?' 'Oh no, don't worry.' He was being a professional. I said, 'It's okay. I know Larry. Larry sent me a text.' He's still trying (to say no). I said, 'Let me FaceTime him real quick.' He goes, 'Well, you can't FaceTime him.' 'Okay.' 'If you would call him, that would be awesome.' He brings out the flip phone. No GPS tracking. Immediately, I'm like, 'You're the man.' I know what he's thinking. He calls up, gets his wife on the phone. 'Put Bjorn on the phone.' 'Bjorn?' It was like he was reading my mind because he goes, 'He's named after a Viking.'
"He gets his son on the phone. 'Bjorn, this is The Undertaker.' 'Hey Undertaker, how are you?' 'I'm really good.' I'm making small talk with this kid. I start messing with him like I do everybody. 'Bjorn, sounds like to me that you're getting in some kind of trouble at home, aren't you?' 'No, I'm not getting into any trouble.' 'Nooo, sounds like you're up to something. I don't know what it is, but I can tell you're doing something you shouldn't be doing.' 'I'm not doing anything I'm not supposed to be doing. You're doing something you're not supposed to be doing.' 'Nooooo.' This seven-year-old kid goes, 'Hey, I'll shoot you right in the face.' I about lost it. Now his dad is mortified. 'I put him on the phone, he's threatening the Undertaker.' 'You're not going to shoot me in the face, I'm going to shoot you in the face.' Now, I'm having an argument with a seven-year-old about shooting him in the face. I probably shouldn't be talking about this. It's all in good fun. You had to be there.
"We're going back and forth, and then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, he goes, 'You're a Democrat.' [laughs]. Where did that come from? His dad, who is standing right next to me, he has his head in his hands, 'I'm so sorry.' Now, I'm trying to keep this conversation for as long as I can. I'm totally engaged, fully engaged. We do finally hang up. This guy is like, 'I am so sorry. I had no clue. He gets that from his grandfather.' That was the coolest conversation I've had on the phone in a while. He goes, 'Again, I apologize.' 'There is absolutely nothing to apologize for.' After the show, he goes, 'I talked to my wife. She is mortified.' I was like, 'Bjorn is okay with me. It was totally fine. You tell her not to worry. He made my night.' You just don't get threatened like that from a seven-year-old. That was fun."
Undertaker was laughing and smiling as he retold the story, clearly enjoying his recounting and the exchange he had with Bjorn.
Bjorn is trying to bring the business back to when men were men.
