The Undertaker was allegedly upset at WWE Superstar for swimming in shark-infested waters
WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker had massive backstage influence during the latter half of his illustrious WWE run. He was considered by his co-workers as the locker room leader.
Rico Constantino recently had a chat with Rene Dupree on Cafe De Rene. He told a hilarious story about how The Undertaker was upset at him for swimming in what were seemingly shark-infested waters. Check out what happened, as per Rico:
"I swim out there. I get to the jetty. I stand up. I'm looking at the hotel and then I started to swim back. I swim back to see The Deadman Standing on the beach, waiting for me. He's looking at me, shaking his head. I said. 'I wanted to go for a swim.' He goes, 'You know there's sharks in that water?' I said, 'No, I know now.' He goes, 'Get in that hotel. I don't want to see you come out of that hotel. Get up there.' And he sent me back up to the hotel. I picked up my clothes and walked back to the hotel." [From 00:55 to 01:32]
