"I'll leave, but you ain't making me leave" - wrestling veteran recalls funny incident with The Undertaker (Exclusive)
The Undertaker once threw a man out of a bar while working as a bouncer.
This week it was announced that The Undertaker would be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, Class of 2022. This announcement was celebrated by fans and superstars worldwide as it cements the legacy of one of the greatest wrestlers to have stepped foot inside the squared circle.
Dutch Mantell was in conversation with Rick Ucchino and Sid Pullar III on this week's episode of Smack Talk where he recalled some of the stories of Taker during his time on the road with the man. Mantell spoke of the time Taker was working as a bouncer and had to throw a man out of the bar.
Here's what Mantell had to say:
"He was a bouncer at a bar. He told me about some of the fights he had there. He went to throw one out out one night and the guy said, 'I'll leave, but you ain't making me leave.' And Undertaker says, 'Okay, okay.' Then finally, 15-20 seconds later, the guy is drinking his beer and he said, 'Hey man, we gotta go. I'll go, but you ain't making me go.' That's twice already.
Mantell shed some more light on the incident as the customer constantly attempted to get on the nerves of The Phenom
Third time he said you ain't making me, he slammed his head on the bar, picked him by his belt and threw him through the front door out. He said, 'Now you're out, stay out.' He made him go." (from 15:30 onwards)
