Recently, Mark Calaway has shown a more candid side, moving away from The Undertaker persona to openly discuss his wrestling experiences. Despite his reputation as a locker room leader, on a recent episode of his podcast “Six Feet Under with Mark Calaway,” he revealed feeling intimidated by the tough wrestler Haku.
The WWE Hall of Famer recalled a tag team match where he and Kane took on Rikishi and Haku. Calaway admitted his dislike for getting chopped, and when Haku chopped him during the match, he instinctively retaliated.
Reflecting on the moment, Calaway realized he had countered Haku, a wrestler known for his toughness. “It was one of those moments where I grabbed him, and then it hit me who I had just grabbed. I thought to myself, ‘Oh s***, this is Haku,'” he shared.
Haku is renowned for being one of the toughest wrestlers both inside and outside the ring. Despite fearing repercussions for his counter against Haku, the former WWE Tag Team Champion did not retaliate. “Thankfully, he had affection for me, and he just went along with it without hurting me,” Calaway added.
