The Undertaker: I Wish I Got The Chance To Wrestle Andre The Giant, He Had An Angle For Us
The Undertaker wishes he would’ve got the chance to face off against Andre The Giant.
Throughout his 30+ year career in professional wrestling, The Undertaker got to face many legendary names such as Shawn Michaels, Brock Lesnar, Hulk Hogan, The Rock, and ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin, among many others.
In the past, The Undertaker has stated many times that he wished he got the chance to face off against Andre The Giant. While speaking to Bill Apter of Sportskeeda for a short chat, Undertaker brought up this idea again, but also revealed that Andre The Giant had an idea for an angle between the two.
“The match that I’d wish I had that I never got the opportunity to is with Andre [The Giant]. That was always a dream of mine. Andre’s health was really — when I got here, his health was already in decline with his back and his knees and everything. It was crazy, Tim White and I discussed it many times — It’s funny. Andre told me early on, ‘Kid, one day, me and you.’ He had an idea, he had an angle that he wanted to do with me. Andre didn’t like big guys, but he loved me for the little amount of time we got to spend together and he wanted to do business with me. His health was just at a point where we couldn’t do it.”
Undertaker went on to say that Andre The Giant never told him what the idea for the angle was, as he took it with him to the grave.
‘The Deadman’ recently said that he thinks the streak would have ended sooner if he didn’t use his American Badass gimmick. Fans can learn more here.
