Chris Van Vliet is an absolute professional and it was an absolute honor to have him on Six Feet Under and then to be able to sit and talk wrestling on Insight was a lot of fun. Chris keep doing great things and we can’t wait to see you sky rocket to the top of the charts, you deserve all the success that comes your way, you are the GOAT of interviewers!
@@ChrisVanVliet The Deadman replied. thanks MC. the interview could of gone way past the allotted time, thanks for sharing your "History". and i'll watch your podcasts also!
Thank u for doing all that u did for wrestling Mark. Giving ur blood, sweat, and tears to the WWE for all those years is very much appreciated. Enjoy retirement Deadman
Right there with you. I have been watching since he debuted and was a fan from day 1. Can't count how many WWE shows I have been to in my 50 years. Just never got to meet him. I would give anything. This man helped me deal with life on a regular basis. I don't think anyone would understand what he means to me. I'm will be 50 years old August 12th and would probably cry like a baby if we did finally meet.
I saw him at the airport with his wife and kids. I was so scared to approach him. Scary looking in real life. I punked out and took a pic of him from a far😂😂@@realKratos667
nah, he needs one more proper match. he needs to spend a year trimming down, toning up like he was in 2009 and have one more good match. that last match he had was terrible
@paulwoodford1984 cmon man. The guy has gave us years of memories. You say all of that like it's so easy. "Yea, just go thru a year of intense training in your 50s for 1 more 10 minute match". Give the guy a pass on that last match and let him do his podcast. He's put his time in
In Rogan's defense, he doesn't really know that much about pro wrestling. Then again, why would you bring a wrestler on if you're not prepared to engage with him?
I love JRE but Chris definitely knows more about the wrestling world than Rogan. Which made it very interesting, specially the questions he asked Taker👏🏾
Mark Calaway is a living lesson of what a man is when he lives by his principles, being loyal, did things that maybe at the time were not good to do, but paid off at the end. A man that found God by the advice of his wife, a good woman and mother. A person that has scars, outside and in for a needed reason. All this I say just watching this from the outside. For all your entertainment given to us, sorry for all the miles of pain you walked for it, at the same time you knew they were worth it . I now enjoy your good health as it was mine. Thank You.
I havnt seen much of him mentioning his walk with christ on his pod but I've also hvant seen every single video he's put out. I would personally like to hear more on that subject.
Mark would have destroyed him. Two different styles. But it would have made for one helluva match. It's nice have "contrasting working styles". Which is why some of his best matches were against Shawn Michaels.
I think Gunther and Rick Rude would have been awesome. Also Gunther and Jake the Snake. His style and size would be awesome with those two. Randy Orton and Gunther I'd love to see
2007 Undertaker vs Gunther? Banger. Taker would only beat Gunther via Hell's Gate. But Gunther is so good I wanted him to win so let's go with the Ring General reversing the Hell's Gate to a jackknife pin.
@@Ben-Jamin80420 Yeah even that era the Badass UT was cool it did make for some odd moments like how his previous wife Sarah would show up in storyline and it just made you think, damn Taker is married.
"That moment made grown men cry" - can confirm. Mark has been my wrestling idol for 30+ years and somehow I'd never seen him live. I completely broke down.
That story was funny. It's so funny that he rememrbed his wife name but not his 😂! Michelle so "helpful" and savage to taker saying "you are not getting out of this!" 😂
@@prasithoudomvilay8454 There was probably some good natured humor in her response, but where she’s been in the business also, there’s probably also some serious intent also. Like “If you took such a hard hit you can’t remember your name, you don’t need to be anywhere but right here.”
Wow Taker loves Michelle so much even in a concussed state he still remembered her name. That is extremely powerful. The underlying meaning of that is he will truly put her first before himself. Speechless.
It’s crazy seeing him so clam and nice and sweet when i would watch him as a scary guy who would bury people alive in matches lol. I believe I had a chance to see him after a wrestling event in I believe 2009 but I was too scared to meet him lol. I could have met other wrestlers too but i just knew him and Kane were backstage and I was a bit scared. I wish I could go back in time and meet them. Maybe I’ll meet them one day before they both get to old.
Undertaker will go down as one of the GREATEST characters in wrestling history. I’ve been waiting for this interview ever since you announced it Chris and it’s gonna be fun to watch Mark Calaway tell us the amazing stories throughout his legendary 30 year career
I grew up watching the Undertaker and I finally met the Undertaker at the Royal Rumble in San Antonio in 2023. I remember watching Survivor Series when he debuted. Always wanted to have the opportunity to shake his hand and we did. So humble and chill. My daughter and I will never forget that day.
I agree about the humble and chill. I met him in Perth back in February. He was so down to earth. Took the time to pronounce my name right and made jokes about the lady taking about picture and the fact that his 1 deadman show was being held in an abandoned prison
That was the first wrestlemania I got tos see live so I can see Taker win at Mania love in real time, and the first thing I see is Taker getting beat by Lesnar and ending the streak. I was distraught for the rest of the year in denial.
the undertaker needs to work with smaller opponents to make him look good. that’s takers mistake in his last years as a active wrestler. he kept wrestling big opponents. clueless.
This makes one realize what an absolutely shining soul the Undertaker is in this world. His dedication, kindness, integrity and utter delight to listen to makes such an interview the experience of a lifetime. Thank you for giving us years of entertainment and years of funny stories.
My favorite moments of this interview, which is by far your best Chris, are the moments where you are giggling at Taker's answers or attempts to give an answer. Your childlike glee is infectious and made this an amazing experience. And the question of the coat he couldn't get off being his toughest opponent literally made me do a spit-take. Thanks for the awesome content!
The undertaker is the goat of goats . First time I ever watched wrestling I was 4 years old and my brother was watching royle rumble 94 and I lost my mind and fell in love with this man who felt like a superhero to me coming back when everyone was against him . Didnt take yokozuna belt that night but he took my heart to become a wrestling fan for life
these old timers need to keep sharing these stories because they’re not getting younger. Undertaker and Jim Cornett have a plethora of stories that ate important to the love of wrestling-they should never die
It's been 41 years i have been watching Undertaker, i am from India, and back then it was really difficult to see such wrestling events as i did not have access to cable or internet, but i used to manage by saving my weekly money and see or read the news on internet twice a month.. very hard times those were. Now, i feel so great full to have these amenities to express myself as a fan of the Undertaker. ❤ What a man you are Mr. Mark.. love you by all my heart.
Of all the interviews you've done, and you've done a lot, this right here just had to feel damn good. And you deserve it. Honestly. Does it get any better than this? I think not. Hats off to you sir. You're a class act. As is the man you interviewed. One of the most beloved and respected people the industry has ever known and will ever know. I love all of your content. Keep em coming!
+@YankeeRedneck437, I love it, I am 50% of the way through, we finally understood why Taker takes the flag off the Mic, not because his hands are too big, but because Taker feels that it's not a good luck for the character (which makes sense). But the ending of the match in Taker v Hunter II, I thought Taker being exhausted and being carried out was a shoot, I had no idea it was a work, I remember watching that moment and thinking "is Taker dead" as his eyes literally stopped blinking.
Man I’m not much for interviews, but after all these years Chris keeps me coming back, thank you for all the great interviews Chris, hella cool you got to chat with the undertaker
Man Chris, having a two hour chat with The Undertaker must be a dream come true, seriously good on you, your passion made you one of the best workers and thanks for all of your interviews!
I’m so happy for your success, Chris! You’re a constant reminder that a good heart & unquestionable work ethic can take you to wherever you want to go in life every time I click a video.
I wish Taker would do an episode just on the ministry version of undertaker - its never talked about but for me its the coolest iteration of the character
It's a sore spot for him. He wanted it to be his own thing, do more creatively with his character. But then they joined the Corporation and it went downhill. Too many guys involved, in the ring. It was just another road stop for the Austin vs Vince story. To him it almost felt like this cool idea he had and was looking forward to was high-jacked to put over a story that wasn't his and quite frankly, Austin vs Vince didn't need the Ministry to become intertwined in the first place. Also 1999 Taker was working hurt for most of it, which lead to him taking time off to heal up and then debuting the American Badass gimmick at Judgement Day 2000
I can listen to Taker all day long without getting bored and this is the biggest compliment i can give him and knowing the fact that he didn't speak for 30+ years yet he is so well spoken is the most surprising thing about him, other than being dead and his run as Mark Calaway.
I gotta say, I love that Taker isn't becoming like Flair. Careers like they have are hard to let go of some times, and it would have been absolutely heartbreaking to watch Taker cling to it and go way past his prime. He also has a dope podcast with decades of stories he can finally tell which is AWESOME.
Thanks for this, man, Undertaker always my favorite, got to meet him in 1996 before Wrestlemania XII. This was really cool getting to see a little behind the curtain. Excellent interview. Seen plenty before and look forward to what you got going next!
Started watching WWE in 99, Taker obvs being one of my two favorites. It's surreal that we're watching a post-retirement interview with the absolute GOAT now. Great interview, Chris!
Might be my all time favorite Insight podcast episode Chris!! A treat to listen to Undertaker speak with you, such a chill atmosphere, felt like two good friends hanging out. Simply phenomenal. Keep it up Chris! You’re the man. 😊🎧
Hats off Mr Calaway for reducing the amount of "You know"'s so drastically. There were some interviews a while ago where you said it more than twice a minute, to the point it was overshadowing the great stories you had to tell. Much respect. Not an easy habit to break.
You gotta understand. Taker was NEVER in front of a camera as Mark Calloway. Always as The Undertaker. Playing a character, you can speak flawlessly. Being yourself after all those years of playing a character, speaking in front of a camera, it’s hard. Especially to be unapologetically yourself after all that time. As he gets more comfortable being himself in front of a camera, it’ll go away completely.
30 years of no real promo work. Its understandable. Dude seems really shy unless hes gotta couple drinks. Introverted most definitely. Dudes 60 next year and still feels awkward infront of the cam like this. A testament to his kayfabe resolve over the years
I love this interview. I’ve been a loyal fan since late 1999- the Undertaker has always been my favorite wrestlers of all since becoming a fan. Undertaker was interviewed so many times since the past several years after retiring. But, CVV asks the questions from a long term hardcore fan’s perspective on items that we always wondered about that others don’t normally ask. Major kudos to CVV for taking one for the long term fans, including the smaller details that nobody else would bring up to Mark.
This didn’t disappoint! - thank you Chris for this :) - you kept thanking Taker for all he’s done, and he’s done amazing stuff, but you’re so likeable and ask ‘THE’ questions, thank you.
Firstly and mainly Taker is so much better at this podcasting/media thing than he gives himself credit for. We absolutely want to hear everything he has to say. Second - This is the best interview I’ve ever heard from Taker post retirement and it comes as NO surprise that it was on CVV. You are awesome, Chris!
Chris, your interview with The Undertaker was truly insightful! It’s fascinating to hear his thoughts on WrestleMania 40 and the potential heel turn for Cody. His perspective on Brock Lesnar and retirement adds so much depth to our understanding of the wrestling world. Thanks for sharing these moments with us!
@@dgeneratio1I believe there's a short talk about back then there's a company goal to make Undertaker to break he was pissed and he told Vince that he absolutely refuse to do spinaroonie in that segment
Never thought I’d see Undertaker being interviewed by Chris. This one is for the books. Wouldn’t be surprised if this becomes one of his most viewed videos ever.
When the gong hit at Mania, I was jumping up and down in my living room (it's been 4:30 AM at that time and I think I woke up my neighbors) but holy hell it was such an amazing moment. Mark has been my hero since I started watching, have his cross tattooed on my arm and he helped me through tough times in my life. Thanks for that, even though you don't know anything about it. Love you man. And Chris, amazing job! Such a great one on one!
Chris, you asked questions on the smallest details of the Undertaker and his career that nobody's ever asked before, questions I've always wanted to know the answers to. This is evidence of how true of a fan you are man. Kudos! Thanks for this interview!
This may have been the most enjoyable interview I’ve watched. Very well done, Mark seems to vibe with you very well. Brought a lot out of him, again great watch!
I turned on notifications. I could listen to Undertaker tell stories all day long. I remember sometime in 91 my dad was watching wrestling, and the first show I watched had Taker wrestling Hogan. That was my first image of wrestling.
Their will NEVER be another Mark Calaway in this business. He truly is one of a kind. Which is why i personally feel he was made into the locker room leader he was and to some extent still is. I've been following his career since his first match with Bruiser Brody down in Texas. And as a fan of 40+yrs in this business and also doing some marketing for a local indy fed on the side. I can truly say i knew then that this guy was "extra special" seeing him at his size move in the ring. I think his basketball background heightened that greatly in terms of his agility. Anytime your playing an athletic sport that just sets the bar higher for you in this business. Whether your coming from basketball or football. I think he's looking great for someone close to 60. And i'm glad he's enjoying his retirement he truly deserves every single bit of it. I wouldn't want to see him back in the ring at this stage of his life. I think as Kevin Nash put it he's done everything there is to do in this business. And so it's time to spend the remaining years with his wife and family in terms of giving back to them. And i'm glad he's doing that now. He's left a huge impact and mark on this business and set a bar so very high. It will be difficult for someone else to ever come close to what he's accomplished. But being a bit selfish here i hope know one ever does because that should be reserved for Mark alone.
Can you imagine growing up a wrestling fan, only to have a show where you interview wrestling legends that is sponsored by wrestling legends? Living the dream.
Been watching 6 feet undertaker pretty chill. didn’t expect to see him get emotional. Cvv taps into that frequency just by having a great convo. Not forced. Sanatas interview few weeks ago was intense too.
Mark Calaway (The Undertaker) has from day 1, been my favorite wrestler of all time. In my eyes he is The GOAT. I will be 50 years old in August, the 12th to be exact. I would give anything on this earth to get the chance to meet him just one time. To sit and talk about the old days, would be a dream come true. Can't count how many WWE shows I been to, saw him wrestle but never got that chance to meet him. Like I said, I would give anything. Being the emotional person I am, I would probably cry like a big baby. There is 4 people that I would give anything to meet and Mark is number 1 on that list, then followed by WSM Eddie Hall, and two arm wrestlers Devon Larrat and Monster Michael Todd. Oops, it should be 5, I forgot one, WSM Brian Shaw. These 5 gentlemen saved my life, literally. I will not rest until I can shake all of these hands but especially Mark Calaway.
Chris, your and Six feet under are the only podcasts I watch. I see you in me cause it's just a major fan living his dream. My dream is to meet Mark. I'm just hoping he is still doing his one man show next time they come to New Orleans for Mania.
Chris. You are by far the best to do interviews. God bless you. You ask the right questions and let them answer it without interruption. You are the man Chris!

I don't need another Undertaker match. I've got 30 years of his career to watch. Enjoy retirement, Deadman! You truly deserve it!
Agreed. Stuff like what he did this year at Mania is perfect for him
Kane/Undertaker best tag team of all time
Real shit 💯💯💯

In Rogan's defense, he doesn't really know that much about pro wrestling. Then again, why would you bring a wrestler on if you're not prepared to engage with him?
Because he's an idiot
He has that guy Tony who claims he's a big wrestling fan but he doesn't know shit either
@@Ff101891Tony was offered a job in creative by the WWE, so he definitely knows something. Doubt he still watches though.
I love JRE but Chris definitely knows more about the wrestling world than Rogan. Which made it very interesting, specially the questions he asked Taker👏🏾
The Paul Bearer impersonation is too good 🤣🤣🤣
Daaaaamnn youuuu to helll
"Damn you to hell" genuinely a great impression🤣
They spent literally decades together both in & out of the ring. Percy would be proud of that rendition. 😂
He was basically takers roomie for a couple decades.....
Definitely need more Paul Bearer stories, if only for the impersonation.

That's exactly they what his booking would be in the early-mid 90's (Taker vs big guys who were intended to be like monsters)
That Kobe 24 and 8 comparison was great. If there was a hall of fame on gimmicks Undertaker’s Deadman and American Badass would both be in.
No doubt
I was waiting 4 The Deadman 2 return but now I look back & appreciate The American Badass run. Taker was putting on wrestling clinics & his promos
Probaly the first inductee in that hof my friend
My favorite line from him as the American BA was when he told Rock "I'm still down with the devil, and I will get mideval on your a**" 😂😂

But the ending of the match in Taker v Hunter II, I thought Taker being exhausted and being carried out was a shoot, I had no idea it was a work, I remember watching that moment and thinking "is Taker dead" as his eyes literally stopped blinking.
Man I’m not much for interviews, but after all these years Chris keeps me coming back, thank you for all the great interviews Chris, hella cool you got to chat with the undertaker
Taker doing the Paul bearer voice is just what I needed today lol
Man Chris, having a two hour chat with The Undertaker must be a dream come true, seriously good on you, your passion made you one of the best workers and thanks for all of your interviews!
I’m so happy for your success, Chris! You’re a constant reminder that a good heart & unquestionable work ethic can take you to wherever you want to go in life every time I click a video.
Thank you so much!
So this is the Undertaker's gym he was mentioning on his podcast.
It’s a bad ass gym!
Badass not bad ass which means 🍑
Chris, was this your idea to do your interview in his Gym? Either way, good idea to do this where it all started for Taker.
@@trendmassacre8423It didn’t start from this gym for Taker he’s only had this gym for a cpl years!
Glad he’s got a Roy Keane shirt in the background 😂😂
Man he looks to be in great shape! So happy to see him enjoying life
“ NO! I threw it” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣so amazing
That Paul Bearer story was GOLDEN!! 😂😂😂 awesome interview CVV!!
I wish Taker would do an episode just on the ministry version of undertaker - its never talked about but for me its the coolest iteration of the character
Totally agree. Was always my fave version too. That outfit he had at Wrestlemania 15 was just so good, with the cloak and the shoulder things
It's a sore spot for him. He wanted it to be his own thing, do more creatively with his character. But then they joined the Corporation and it went downhill. Too many guys involved, in the ring. It was just another road stop for the Austin vs Vince story. To him it almost felt like this cool idea he had and was looking forward to was high-jacked to put over a story that wasn't his and quite frankly, Austin vs Vince didn't need the Ministry to become intertwined in the first place. Also 1999 Taker was working hurt for most of it, which lead to him taking time off to heal up and then debuting the American Badass gimmick at Judgement Day 2000
He just dropped one
This was absolutely fantastic. Thanks Chris! And Taker, of course.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Chris tonight you're gunna go one on one with The Undertaker playa
👀😭
If chris was takers co-host would probably be best podcast of all time
Yeah
I'll be honest I don't ever turn notifications on but yes sir I will for this one
ok this is amazing now I want sting the icon yes other I do not put notes on this one is amazing
YESS CVV Sting interview next
Sting would be killer
CVV work ethic is impeccable! You’ve literally built an empire and interviewing the phenom is just the cherry on top of the wrestling sundae.
I can listen to Taker all day long without getting bored and this is the biggest compliment i can give him and knowing the fact that he didn't speak for 30+ years yet he is so well spoken is the most surprising thing about him, other than being dead and his run as Mark Calaway.
so funny when the undertaker said to that fan in australia and tell them to get a life hahaha
I gotta say, I love that Taker isn't becoming like Flair. Careers like they have are hard to let go of some times, and it would have been absolutely heartbreaking to watch Taker cling to it and go way past his prime. He also has a dope podcast with decades of stories he can finally tell which is AWESOME.
DAMN!!! Nearly two hours? This is going to be AWESOME!!!
This legit might of been your best interview to date. Taker is just so awesome and relatable. I felt like yall could of went of for another 2 hours 🙌🏽
It so cool seeing how open and vulnerable Taker has gotten on your podcast and his own. Both have been phenomenal!
Thanks for this, man, Undertaker always my favorite, got to meet him in 1996 before Wrestlemania XII. This was really cool getting to see a little behind the curtain. Excellent interview. Seen plenty before and look forward to what you got going next!
I would never get bored of listening Taker telling his stories and talking about his career. It's just so interesting.
Mark Calaway one of thee best wrestlers and legends of all time ....... Let's go Taker
Started watching WWE in 99, Taker obvs being one of my two favorites. It's surreal that we're watching a post-retirement interview with the absolute GOAT now. Great interview, Chris!
Dude, you have such a Gene Okerlund vibe. The wrestling world needs you. Keep it up
SNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNES DRUNK!!!
What an honor for Mark to return the favor and do an interview for you. You know you made it big when Taker does a job for you.
Might be my all time favorite Insight podcast episode Chris!! A treat to listen to Undertaker speak with you, such a chill atmosphere, felt like two good friends hanging out. Simply phenomenal. Keep it up Chris! You’re the man. 😊🎧
Hats off Mr Calaway for reducing the amount of "You know"'s so drastically. There were some interviews a while ago where you said it more than twice a minute, to the point it was overshadowing the great stories you had to tell. Much respect. Not an easy habit to break.
Man bro it was rough at first lol Mr. Mark "Y'know" Calaway
You gotta understand. Taker was NEVER in front of a camera as Mark Calloway. Always as The Undertaker. Playing a character, you can speak flawlessly. Being yourself after all those years of playing a character, speaking in front of a camera, it’s hard. Especially to be unapologetically yourself after all that time. As he gets more comfortable being himself in front of a camera, it’ll go away completely.
I know. I know
30 years of no real promo work. Its understandable. Dude seems really shy unless hes gotta couple drinks. Introverted most definitely. Dudes 60 next year and still feels awkward infront of the cam like this. A testament to his kayfabe resolve over the years
This podcast was the best iv watched in ages. I grew up on undertaker
The Coat might be the most underrated superstar in WWE history
Vacant vs Coat at Mania 41
Coat = Goat
...okayyyyy 🤨
I love this interview. I’ve been a loyal fan since late 1999- the Undertaker has always been my favorite wrestlers of all since becoming a fan. Undertaker was interviewed so many times since the past several years after retiring. But, CVV asks the questions from a long term hardcore fan’s perspective on items that we always wondered about that others don’t normally ask. Major kudos to CVV for taking one for the long term fans, including the smaller details that nobody else would bring up to Mark.
Taker one of the best interviews in the business, happy he started doing more of these + creating his own podcast this is the stuff we need
This didn’t disappoint! - thank you Chris for this :) - you kept thanking Taker for all he’s done, and he’s done amazing stuff, but you’re so likeable and ask ‘THE’ questions, thank you.
Enjoyed the Six Feet Under interview. I'm watching this interview now. I'm loving it!
My buddies and I used to call him "the Undietaker: Taker of Undies" and got an absolute riot out of it. Thanks for the memories
My favorite wrestler. Love this interview
Firstly and mainly Taker is so much better at this podcasting/media thing than he gives himself credit for. We absolutely want to hear everything he has to say.
Second - This is the best interview I’ve ever heard from Taker post retirement and it comes as NO surprise that it was on CVV. You are awesome, Chris!
I love the gesture you made Chris when you said "But it's not Shawn's Sweet Chin music" 💔
2 Hours That Felt like 30 Minutes, Amazing Interview as Always, Undertaker Stories are so funny and interesting to listen too.
This is my favorite episode
I've seen a lot of Taker interviews. This is the best one. Very enjoyable. Very respectful. Thank you, CVV.
The Undertaker seems like an awesome human being
Chris, your interview with The Undertaker was truly insightful! It’s fascinating to hear his thoughts on WrestleMania 40 and the potential heel turn for Cody. His perspective on Brock Lesnar and retirement adds so much depth to our understanding of the wrestling world. Thanks for sharing these moments with us!
Chris PLEASE ask him about the higher power storyline and who he wanted it to be. For some reason every single interviewer doesn’t talk about this.
Also the Taker-Roonie angle. Been an enjoyable 2 hours.
@@dgeneratio1I believe there's a short talk about back then there's a company goal to make Undertaker to break he was pissed and he told Vince that he absolutely refuse to do spinaroonie in that segment
@@dgeneratio1I thought for sure he'd ask about the taker-roonie
Has he ever discussed his 2002 match with hulk and the chokeslam?
Another awesome interview Chris..with the one and only Undertaker. Thank you both!
Never thought I’d see Undertaker being interviewed by Chris. This one is for the books. Wouldn’t be surprised if this becomes one of his most viewed videos ever.
When the gong hit at Mania, I was jumping up and down in my living room (it's been 4:30 AM at that time and I think I woke up my neighbors) but holy hell it was such an amazing moment.
Mark has been my hero since I started watching, have his cross tattooed on my arm and he helped me through tough times in my life. Thanks for that, even though you don't know anything about it. Love you man.
And Chris, amazing job! Such a great one on one!
I love listening to the Undertaker.
Chris, you asked questions on the smallest details of the Undertaker and his career that nobody's ever asked before, questions I've always wanted to know the answers to. This is evidence of how true of a fan you are man. Kudos! Thanks for this interview!
This is going to make my day go by much faster and much better! Thank you for another amazing guest!
And thank you for being here!
it's so surreal seeing mark calloway being such a cool and down to earth guy...this the same dude i was scared of as a little kid
I've never turn on notifications for any videos but for this I just clicked it as fast as a cheetah 😂
27:00 Finally, after all those years YOU sir asked the Undertaker the Microphone question. RESPECT!
Undertaker must be a general manager of smackdown... He will run the show beautifully
Great privilege to here Undertaker in a proper 1 to 1 interview. Greatest gimmick character in wrestling history bar none! Thank you, Mark.
Amazing interview taker is hilarious
This may have been the most enjoyable interview I’ve watched. Very well done, Mark seems to vibe with you very well. Brought a lot out of him, again great watch!
the fact that you guys shot this in a different location as when He interviewed you is commitment
The one and only "Undertaker" my childhood idol ❤, you're a legend man, thanks for making my childhood awesome!!
Father Time is undefeated. Only the Undertaker can end his streak.
I turned on notifications. I could listen to Undertaker tell stories all day long. I remember sometime in 91 my dad was watching wrestling, and the first show I watched had Taker wrestling Hogan. That was my first image of wrestling.
Their will NEVER be another Mark Calaway in this business. He truly is one of a kind. Which is why i personally feel he was made into the locker room leader he was and to some extent still is. I've been following his career since his first match with Bruiser Brody down in Texas. And as a fan of 40+yrs in this business and also doing some marketing for a local indy fed on the side. I can truly say i knew then that this guy was "extra special" seeing him at his size move in the ring. I think his basketball background heightened that greatly in terms of his agility. Anytime your playing an athletic sport that just sets the bar higher for you in this business. Whether your coming from basketball or football. I think he's looking great for someone close to 60. And i'm glad he's enjoying his retirement he truly deserves every single bit of it. I wouldn't want to see him back in the ring at this stage of his life. I think as Kevin Nash put it he's done everything there is to do in this business. And so it's time to spend the remaining years with his wife and family in terms of giving back to them. And i'm glad he's doing that now. He's left a huge impact and mark on this business and set a bar so very high. It will be difficult for someone else to ever come close to what he's accomplished. But being a bit selfish here i hope know one ever does because that should be reserved for Mark alone.
Can you imagine growing up a wrestling fan, only to have a show where you interview wrestling legends that is sponsored by wrestling legends?
Living the dream.
Poured myself a double Jack for this one. Cheers CVV and Taker. 🥃
Cheers! 🥃
Been watching 6 feet undertaker pretty chill. didn’t expect to see him get emotional. Cvv taps into that frequency just by having a great convo. Not forced. Sanatas interview few weeks ago was intense too.
Mark Calaway (The Undertaker) has from day 1, been my favorite wrestler of all time. In my eyes he is The GOAT. I will be 50 years old in August, the 12th to be exact. I would give anything on this earth to get the chance to meet him just one time. To sit and talk about the old days, would be a dream come true. Can't count how many WWE shows I been to, saw him wrestle but never got that chance to meet him. Like I said, I would give anything. Being the emotional person I am, I would probably cry like a big baby. There is 4 people that I would give anything to meet and Mark is number 1 on that list, then followed by WSM Eddie Hall, and two arm wrestlers Devon Larrat and Monster Michael Todd. Oops, it should be 5, I forgot one, WSM Brian Shaw. These 5 gentlemen saved my life, literally. I will not rest until I can shake all of these hands but especially Mark Calaway.
Chris, your and Six feet under are the only podcasts I watch. I see you in me cause it's just a major fan living his dream. My dream is to meet Mark. I'm just hoping he is still doing his one man show next time they come to New Orleans for Mania.
Sending a prayer up and speaking it into the universe- you WILL get to share Taker's hand! We're manifesting it❤
Chris. You are by far the best to do interviews. God bless you. You ask the right questions and let them answer it without interruption. You are the man Chris!
The Undertaker always be the greatest and the Top character and wrestler of professional wrestling !
