Undertaker has been making rounds on various platforms for the promotion of his latest documentary – Undertaker: The Last Ride on WWE Network. The Deadman appeared on The Bill Simmons Podcast recently and talked about a wide range of topics, including the infamous Montreal Screwjob.
The Undertaker has been the leader of the WWE Locker Room for a number of decades now. When the Montreal Screwjob happened, Taker was in his prime and the authority amongst the Superstars.
Taker revealed on the Bill Simmons podcast that he was extremely “pissed” when the incident happened. The Phenom believed that if he was involved in the whole situation, a Screwjob like this wouldn’t have happened because he would have helped in working things out.
I was pissed. I was pissed about the whole thing because I was like, I could have possibly been used to get what we needed. Take Shawn out of this [and] let me do it and then I’ll do business on the other side and I think Bret probably would have went for that.
I mean there was such disdain at that time between the two of them and Bret was leaving but I was just like, if you had come to me with this too, and it’s his company and he did what he thought what was best, but I was like ‘I think I could’ve helped this whole thing out’.
I’m going to do business, but it happened, and I was really pissed.
It is very true that Taker’s involvement could have helped make the situation better since both Bret and Shawn respected the Deadman very much. However, at the end of the day, it was Vince McMahon’s call to make and he decided to go with the infamous Screwjob.
