Shane McMahon was recently interviewed by ESPN. During this, he spoke about his match against The Undertaker at Wrestlemania 32.
During this, Shane told a funny story about what Undertaker’s mom told him before the match. Here is what Shane said:
“Prior to the match, Mrs. Calaway, Mark’s mother, comes up to me at a dinner a few days before WrestleMania. I’ve known her for a very long time. I ask her how she is, give her a hug. Then she grabs me with both arms and stands me back. She says, in this Texas drawl, “You know, you’ve always been one of my favorites. However … you hit my son right in his eye and made him bleed [on Raw]. You went down a couple of notches in my book.” She was scolding me! And I look over at this big, huge Mark Calaway bowing his head very humbly, thinking how embarrassing this moment is. But it doesn’t matter how badass you are. There’s going to be a protective mother,”
Shane also revealed that The Undertaker originally didn’t want him to jump off the top of the cell:
[Mark] was not a proponent of me jumping off the cage. Not taking anything away from [Mick] Foley, but this was the new Hell In A Cell. This was bigger, substantially higher. Mark would say there were other things we could do, different iterations. But I told him no. This is what the story needs. It was David vs. Goliath, and you’re expecting David is just going to be killed. In that match, I had exhausted everything in my toolbox to try and win. This is what WrestleMania needs. I blew my bellybutton out — an umbilical hernia — because I hit so hard [on impact]. I didn’t expect that force to be that hard. But oh, my God, it was.
