WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker is one of the greatest stars in pro wrestling history. He has had numerous storylines during his illustrious career which are engraved in the hearts of the fans. However, one of the pitches made by the creative department of the company did not materialize and it has now been revealed.
The Undertaker was pitched to be involved in ‘lost son’ storyline
It was recently reported that WWE had pitched for the Rock to return and win the 2023 Royal Rumble match, setting up a clash with Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39 next year. This report was noted in a tweet by Bleacher Report, which caught the attention of former WWE writer Brian Gewirtz who revealed some pitches that were made back in the day.
Seemingly trying to subdue the rumours, Gewirtz detailed two insane pitches that were made during his time as WWE’s head writer. One pitch was for Kaval (Low Ki) to be revealed as the Undertaker’s long lost son, but the other pitch he revealed was even funnier.
He claimed that it was once pitched for Vince McMahon’s character to have a midlife crisis, grow a beard, start wearing Hawaiian shirts and sing songs from the Black Eyed Peas.
He tweeted:
“Things “discussed” in my time at wwe:
Vince having midlife crisis, growing beard, wearing Hawaiian shirts and singing Black Eyed Peas songs
Kaval being Undertakers secret long lost son”
