Former WWE Executive J.J Dillon was recently a guest on “The List & Ya Boy” podcast. Dillon, who served as a backstage executive with the WWF back in the 90’s, said that Vince McMahon almost stuck The Undertaker with a ridiculous Viking gimmick:
“Vince’s first reaction was ‘maybe he could be a Viking with the helmet and the horns.’ He just saw this guy and Vince had a really creative mind. He had a department [Vince] would take somebody and turn this person over to this department and say to look at them, their body, their features, play with him and feed me some ideas. In all the years that went by, I think the Undertaker is the great wrestling character/persona that has ever lived in the WWE/F. Hands down”
