Former WWE personality claims that The Undertaker character was Vince McMahon’s “immortal version of himself”

While speaking on his podcast, former WWE personality Dutch Mantell stated the following in regards to Vince McMahon’s influence over The Undertaker character…

“The Undertaker was Vince’s version of himself. He was immortal and he could keep coming. Looks like he’s dead — he comes back from the dead.”

“I don’t know if he did it by himself or if somebody mentioned it to him — but even if somebody had mentioned it to Vince, he looked at it like, ‘Wow, I really like this.’ And I have heard through the years that it was Vince’s vision of his actual self. So it makes sense. You know, Vince is a very complicated man anyway. So if he wanted to have an immortal version of himself, he could have that. And that’s what he did. He made a lot of money along the way with it.”
