Former WWE Women's Champion reunites with The Undertaker at recent event
WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker's appearances outside the ring nowadays are predominantly for his shows, in which he shares never-before-heard stories about his time on the road as a professional wrestler. His wife Michelle McCool recently helped put together a reunion with him and his peer from the early aughts—Lisa Marie Varon, best known by her ring name Victoria.
A two-time WWE Women's Champion herself, Victoria took to Instagram to express her gratitude for The Undertaker, who showed up at WrestleCon in Cleveland, where the two got to share stories on stage:
"What a way to end WrestleCon weekend in Cleveland! Big thank you to Michelle McCool for setting this up and a huge thank you to the legend himself for having me and inviting me on stage to share some stories and a celebratory shot. What an amazing and emotional experience. He’s the best for a reason! Please see his show if he’s ever in your area," she wrote.
Earlier today, the Hall of Famer re-shared Victoria's heartfelt post on Instagram. You can check it out here.
The Undertaker's former rival on why they never got to lock horns at WWE WrestleMania
The Undertaker will forever be associated with wrestling's biggest show, WrestleMania. One of his rivals from the early aughts was Rob Van Dam. They had squared off multiple times over the Hardcore Championship. Despite the good chemistry between the two veterans, a WrestleMania showdown never happened. However, it almost did.
Speaking about this on his podcast 1 Of A Kind recently, RVD revealed that some were not too keen about it. According to the legend, he was not over enough for The Phenom:
"I was told at one point when I was first there in WWE getting one of those first momentum rides. There’s a story that they were thinking of putting me in WrestleMania, maybe it was against The Undertaker, I’m not sure. It sounded like a main event spot or at least a really high on the card spot, and said party said, ‘No he’s not over enough.’"
Much like the legendary Hall of Famer, Van Dam had a streak of his own on the Grandest Stage of Them All. The latter has four wins and not a single loss on the grand stage. Perhaps it worked out for the best, as facing The Deadman might have put a blemish on this track record.
