You've heard the story of The Eggman, but have you heard about Singing In The Shower guy?
When The Undertaker was finishing up with WCW, he was looking for a way into WWE. Bruce Prichard was a fan of Undertaker, but he didn't make the best first impression to Vince McMahon, who watched his match on WCW pay-per-view.
Despite Vince not liking Undertaker's match at WrestleWar 1990, he eventually agreed to meet with Undertaker at his home.
"There is a gigantic mural of Vince posed up on the wall. Very well done, impressive. The house is massive. This is not in my tax bracket," Undertaker recalled of Vince's home on Six Feet Under. "We start talking, Bruce is putting me over, I'm telling my life story. I feel like it's going pretty good. He asks me, 'Do you have any other talents? Do you sing? Do you dance?' I say, 'Only in the shower.' As soon as I said it, I was like, 'Ohh, I shouldn't have said that.' It was the time of outlandish gimmicks. Now I'm thinking, 'I'm going to be singing in the shower guy.' As soon as I said 'I sing in the shower,' Vince is like, 'Really??!?!' Oh no, I've screwed up. I was just trying to be funny. This meeting goes on and it feels like it's been two hours. We get to the end of the meeting. 'Well, we don't have anything for you. Maybe after WrestleMania we'll have something for you then.' I thanked him for his time. The only reason I got a shot is because, at that meeting, I don't think he thought I was a draw or would be a draw, but he liked the person. He liked who he was talking to and that is why I think he gave me a chance."
The Undertaker would eventually get the call from Vince, and he wasn't The Eggman, he became The Undertaker.
Elsewhere during the podcast, Undertaker said he made $1200 a week in WCW. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
