Undertaker and Mike Tyson
The Undertaker and Mike Tyson are arguably the greatest professionals in their respective fields. The WWE legend was a guest on Tyson’s podcast, “Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson,” where he covered several topics regarding his career and experience. The Deadman retired from professional wrestling in 2020 after battling in a match against AJ Styles at WrestleMania 36.
While speaking on the show, the boxing icon surprised The Undertaker with his knowledge about the wrestling industry. The Baddest Man on the Planet named several superstars who were active three or more decades ago. He referenced stars such as The Iron Sheik, Billy Graham, Big John Studd, and Bam Bam Bigelow, among others, in front of the WWE Hall of Famer.
Shocked by this, the Undertaker said to Iron Mike, “You’re just like a plethora of wrestling.” The Phenom went on to acknowledge Mike as a wrestling fan and admit that it was nice speaking to people with such knowledge about professional wrestling. He later revealed that Muhammad Ali was also a huge wrestling fan after the host talked about Ali emulating Gorgeous George.
Mike Tyson previously appeared in the WWE at WrestleMania in 1998. After being appointed as the special guest enforcer for the main event of the show, Tyson was heavily involved in the build. He was also involved in a brawl with Stone Cold on an episode of RAW. During the bout, Mike ended up counting the pinfall as Austin emerged victorious and captured his first World Title.
The Undertaker reveals the time his daughter was upset with him
Appearing as a guest on Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson, The Undertaker reminisced about fighting John Cena at WrestleMania 34. The two legends faced off in what was the Phenom’s first match after seemingly retiring at the previous year’s edition of the show. The match was basically a one-sided affair, with Taker defeating Cena with ease. As a result, The Undertaker’s daughter was upset backstage.
The retired legend claimed that his daughter was a huge John Cena fan, and she was upset with her father beating her hero. The Undertaker had to enlist the 16-time world champion’s help to console the child. The Deadman heaped praise on him, claiming this was a testament to the type of person that John Cena is.
In previous interviews, Taker talked about regretting not having a proper match with the Cenation Leader at the Showcase of the Immortals. For years, many fans awaited the prospect of these two legends colliding. There were some who even thought that John Cena was the one to break the undefeated streak at WrestleMania. The marquee match proved that Undertaker still had it and motivated him into a second run to end his illustrious career on the perfect note.
