The Godfather has a lot of fond memories of his time together with The Undertaker.
WWE Hall of Famer The Godfather was a recent guest on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet. While discussing early memories of The Undertaker, Godfather said they were both living a different type of life at that time.
“When I met him I was a full-blown biker,” The Godfather recalled. “When I met him, it was hard for me to understand why this big white dude didn’t drink Jack, didn’t listen to country music, didn’t ride Harleys didn’t have tattoos. I just couldn’t understand it because the crowd of people at that time in my life were hardcore bikers. And so I just tell people that I opened his eyes to a different way of life. And that son of a gun took to it very well.”
When asked about the first time he met The Undertaker, Godfather said they paired him up with him right after working a feud against Jerry “The King” Lawler.
“I just worked a program with Lawler they didn’t know what to do with me. I’m as green as Kermit the Frog,” The Godfather said. “Taker has been in the business a couple years now. So they said hey, we’re gonna bring this big, tall white kid into work against you. He’s been in the business a couple years. Maybe we can do something with you. So Mark’s driving in from Texas. I never get a chance to meet him.
“Everything I’ve done so far is what Jerry Lawler has told me to do in the ring. I know nothing. Just what somebody’s telling me what to do, which is a whole other story. So I met him in the ring. We have a match where I really think I’m like, Oh, here’s another one he’s big ass white boys I’m gonna have to deal with, so it was a little physical in the ring with me and him. He tells me to throw him out. So I throw him out. I go after him.
“I’m chasing him around one corner the other corner. I guess he found that chair which was what he was looking for. He hit me over the head with a chair so hard that you know the cartoons when you see the stars and little birdies? I swear I see that. And he looked down at me and said do you want to do this easy way or the hard way? I said I think let’s do this the easy way and from that point we became really good friends from that day.”
