The Undertaker Recalls Being Threatened By A Seven-Year-Old

A seven-year-old child wasn’t impressed by a phone call from The Undertaker.

As well as stepping in the ring to Chokeslam The Rock on night two of WrestleMania 40, The Undertaker was busy with his One Deadman Show over the weekend. However, during what should have been a simple chat with a young fan, things went hilariously off the rails.

Speaking on his Six Feet Under podcast, ‘Taker recalled speaking with his security guard at the event who had a young son who was a fan. To try and do a good deed, The Deadman phoned the seven-year-old and teased him about messing around at home, except little Bjorn didn’t quite see the funny side and threatened to shoot him in the face.

I waited until I was done with my meet and greet. I told the guy, ‘Hey, I hear your son is a fan. Would you like me to call him?’ ‘Oh no, don’t worry.’ He was being a professional. I said, ‘It’s okay. I know Larry. Larry sent me a text.’ He’s still trying (to say no). I said, ‘Let me FaceTime him real quick.’ He goes, ‘Well, you can’t FaceTime him.’ ‘Okay.’ ‘If you would call him, that would be awesome.’

He brings out the flip phone. No GPS tracking. Immediately, I’m like, ‘You’re the man.’ I know what he’s thinking. He calls up, gets his wife on the phone. ‘Put Bjorn on the phone.’ ‘Bjorn?’ It was like he was reading my mind because he goes, ‘He’s named after a Viking.’

He gets his son on the phone. ‘Bjorn, this is The Undertaker.’ ‘Hey Undertaker, how are you?’ ‘I’m really good.’ I’m making small talk with this kid. I start messing with him like I do everybody. ‘Bjorn, sounds like to me that you’re getting in some kind of trouble at home, aren’t you?’ ‘No, I’m not getting into any trouble.’ ‘Nooo, sounds like you’re up to something. I don’t know what it is, but I can tell you’re doing something you shouldn’t be doing.’ ‘I’m not doing anything I’m not supposed to be doing. You’re doing something you’re not supposed to be doing.’ ‘Nooooo.’

This seven-year-old kid goes, ‘Hey, I’ll shoot you right in the face.’ I about lost it. Now his dad is mortified. ‘I put him on the phone, he’s threatening the Undertaker.’ ‘You’re not going to shoot me in the face, I’m going to shoot you in the face.’ Now, I’m having an argument with a seven-year-old about shooting him in the face. I probably shouldn’t be talking about this. It’s all in good fun. You had to be there.

Not content with threatening to shoot his hero, Bjorn then called ‘Taker a Democrat. While the parents were understandably mortified, Undertaker saw the funny side and joked that the conversation had made his night.

“We’re going back and forth, and then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, he goes, ‘You’re a Democrat.’ [laughs]. Where did that come from? His dad, who is standing right next to me, he has his head in his hands, ‘I’m so sorry.’ Now, I’m trying to keep this conversation for as long as I can. I’m totally engaged, fully engaged. We do finally hang up.

This guy is like, ‘I am so sorry. I had no clue. He gets that from his grandfather.’ That was the coolest conversation I’ve had on the phone in a while. He goes, ‘Again, I apologize.’ ‘There is absolutely nothing to apologize for.’ After the show, he goes, ‘I talked to my wife. She is mortified.’ I was like, ‘Bjorn is okay with me. It was totally fine. You tell her not to worry. He made my night.’ You just don’t get threatened like that from a seven-year-old. That was fun.”

SmackDown Stars Says They’re Better Than The Undertaker

When he’s not being threatened by children, The Undertaker is having his legacy questioned by a current WWE star.

Appearing on The Bump, Grayson Waller said his recent win at WrestleMania which means he’s got a record of 1-0 at the show, shows he’s better than both ‘Taker and Shawn Michaels. Waller explained that as both legends had lost at WrestleMania, and he hasn’t, it means he’s the greatest WrestleMania competitor of all time.
