Dutch Mantell on What The Undertaker Knew About Vince McMahon Accusations | Will He Address Lawsuit?

[@JimmyMac-jo3zh]

You can know someone for a long time and never really truly know them. I once had a friend who I'd known for 15 years who was accused of something bad (not sexual) and I was like "there's no way he's got that in him". Turned out that he did have it in him, sadly, when the evidence came to light.

[@K-dawg26]

What did he do, kill somebody?

[@JimmyMac-jo3zh]

Financial crime, it was. Seemed like the last person who'd ever steal money from anyone.

@JimmyMac-jo3zh That's true. Sometimes it's the ones closest to you that do that and you wouldn't think they'd do it.

True I know a girl who has worked as an escort behind the back of the man she’s marrying since 2013. I’d tell him if he wasn’t such an entitled arrogant spastic who always treated me like garbage.

[@UMAMIMAMU]

​@@suckit5092Yeah I don't get it. She did disgusting things to try and get ahead in life and it worked. That's the beginning and the end of the story as far as any rational person is concerned. Disturbingly, there's people out there that seem to think merely being in the presence of a powerful person instantly renders "normal people" incapacitated, incapable of rational thought, and completely bereft of a moral compass. We're talking about a grown woman in her freaking 40's that was in a creepy (bus clearly consensual) BDSM relationship with another adult. Considering the extreme fetishistic angle of the whole thing, even isolated incidences of reputed "force" would have to be pored over with a fine-tooth comb. I could very easily see an extreme relationship like that getting out of control if both partners don't set very solid concrete barriers. Honestly, in this age of sexual freedom and the commercialization of sexual acceptance, it really surprises me that so many people are basically willing to completely damn Vince based largely off his fetishes. I find them highly disturbing as well, but what he gets his rocks off on is up to him.

[@lorddeathspit1124]

Taker probably knew about the affair but what’s he’s supposed to do? I highly doubt he knew there was abuse going on. It’s not like abusers tell their buddies “yea I love mistreating her and doing other illegal things.”

[@Loe_Jist]

That's the thing: people keep trying to believe everyone is sinister, despicable, and complicit in McMahon's scandals. They're not thinking practically or realistically. People are watching everything like it's a TV show or a movie where characters know more than they let on and are in on it just because they're close friends with the villain or related to him. Unless there's a huge story that breaks soon, it's fairly safe to say that nobody knew more than "Vince is having another affair." How much do we know about the sex lives of our parents, siblings, kids (assuming 18+), friends, coworkers, neighbors? We may know that X is dating/married to Y. Why would we know much more than that? Why would we know what they like in bed and the raunchy details of their sex lives? It's nuts that people think just because someone is very close with another person means they know all of the details about them in EVERY area of their life. I know that my brother, who I'm very close to and see regularly, is currently in a relationship. She's a lovely person and easygoing. They're quite happy together. That's it. I don't know anything about their sex life. I don't want to know anything about their sex life. Undertaker and McMahon are very close friends. They always have been. McMahon hasn't been faithful to Linda in decades and that's well known. Beyond that and his string of affairs, why should Undertaker or anyone else have known that something nefarious was going on?

Total mark(no pun intended) opinion, but Taker is one of the few I feel like I could give benefit of the doubt to. Mainly because by all accounts, he was a moral authority backstage(enough to be judge of wrestlers court) and had enough popularity to jump ship and not starve if he saw something like all of this awful shit going down. He just seems like a guy, if your his boss or not, you don’t want disappointed in you.

[@dorkandproudofit]

[@dead_kennedy9905]

We will never get undertaker’s opinion on this. He’s always loved McMahon, and he knows no one wants to hear him defend Vince and he probably doesn’t have it in him to tear Vince down. Doesn’t mean he was aware of what Vince was doing but I think it’s understandable to not want to comment about a close friends scandal.

[@Jacob-jg6cd]

I find it difficult to imagine Taker didn’t see or hear anything about Vince in all of the years he was in the company given how Vince supposedly told all of those tech guys about his private sex life.

[@AscensionOfAuriel]

That is chronologically 34 years in the making and before that. Taker has been with WWF/WWE since late 1990. I am sure he had at least heard some rumors, or innuendos about Vince. Not that he believed them at first, but as time had progressed, I am sure Taker gave some reasonable doubts once in a while. Just like SSJ2Phenom said, he has been a part timer since 2011 and now retired. My question is if he saw something shady from 1990 until 2011. That is two decades of being with Vince all the time. He even saw how women were treated in early 2000's by Vince privately and on screen. Taker would have recognized red flags a long time ago, I am just saying.

One thing people should remember is that guys like Vince are EXTREMELY charismatic, even charming.

You might think "I wouldn't be manipulated like that," but that is PRECISELY the mindset scumbags like Vince use to get away with their crimes for so long. Taker has, in the past, confronted Vince about his sleazy actions--the aftermath of the Montreal Screwjob comes to mind--which IMHO shows his own good character. But the fact that he kept coming back to Vince is not necessarily a sign of weakness, nor of moral failure; MOST people would fall for that, especially those who work with and for him, and owe their success to him.

With a situation this bad, people really should be more careful about saying that “Person X” was involved or knew or helped cover it up. Even if it’s possible to prove 3 months down the road that someone knows nothing about what Vince was doing, this is the kind of thing that leaves a stain and ruins reputations and legacies. You can be proven to be 100% innocent but that damage is done. Period. The overwhelming majority of the complaints took place in private homes and Titan Towers/corporate location. Vince wasn’t flying these women around the county with him, he wasn’t crapping on them in the middle of the men’s locker room. He wasn’t flaunting it. Vince and Linda haven’t even lived together in like what, 15 years? Vince has had a number of affairs and flings and side women for decades. How the hell should someone that WORKS for Vince be able to look at one particular woman and say “Oh this one is different. Vince is abusing her!” We all know, and have since at least the early 90’s, that Vince is human garbage. The rumors swirling around that man are horrifying and seemingly endless. I’m not saying it’s IMPOSSIBLE that someone like The Undertaker knew what was going on. I’m saying this is a very complicated situation involving a man who has revelled in controversy and in distorting the truth for over half a century.

Agreed.

Undertaker has been a part time/one match a year guy since 2011. He was never an office employee and he worked like 6 weeks out of the year. It is very very plausible that he didn't know a thing, but hey everyone who ever said hi to Vince knew, am I right?

Undertaker, to me, is as great a gimmick as I've ever seen in our sport. I can't speak highly enough about how he kept straight faced for many years doing his character. You never hear anything but positives about the way Taker lead the lovker room. He seems like a good dude ⚰️⚱️🪦

Agreed with Dutch here, Taker is doing the right thing by not speaking on it at all, if he did, as Dutch said, folks with probably too much free time on their hands will just pick apart and dissect everything he said, and probably in effect misconstrue Taker's words. On a side note, I've said for about a decade now (Yes it's been a decade folks, well close enough to a decade since it's not quite Mania yet in 2024) that one of the worse things WWE ever did was break Taker's streak, that shouldn't have been touched, Taker deserved to go down in history as the man who never lost at Wrestlemania, and that streak in all likelihood will never ever be duplicated, so in essence, that's now gone, it was taken away from us. Furthermore, Mania just isn't the same without "The Streak" being on the line, it was like Taker's on personal WWE title.

[@brownmut5518]

WOW! Vince sells and steps down and a huge amount of top guys from the past and the present are going to be scrutinized and probably publicly hung in the court of public opinion. Talk about "wrestlers court "

He actually did another live sit-down interview with him. You see, because the morning after the XFL interview aired Vince called up Costas and begged him for a “best two out of three.” He knew it was a fiasco.

Same. they were very close and there is an interview floating around somewhere on YT where Taker is talking about blah blah the business the business, Vince taught me everything about the business and that's what's best for business and business is business and that was my business etc. He painted himself as Vince's protege of sorts and everyone knows they were very close. It would be shocking if Taker really did not know any of this was going on.

[@henrikschmidt3964]

Since they decided to end the streak, I really think they should have booked it as Lance Storm suggested. They should have Undertaker declare that he would not retire until someone beat him at Wrestlemania. That would have preconditioned fans to expect it to happen at some point.

Dutch genuinely has one of the most grounded views I think I’ve heard from any wrestler/podcaster. He’s right, Mark see’s Vince as a father figure. He can be disappointed in the behaviour and disagree 100% with anything Vince has allegedly done. Still, this is a grown ass man in his mid fifties. I think their relationship has stood the test of time, Taker stood by him with all other allegations over the years. There’s been so many things said about Vince, but the friendship they shared has always stood firm. I don’t see that changing at this stage in either of their lives. Personally I feel Cena is another who shares a very similar relationship with Vince, you could even potentially say The Rock too. Although, Rock seems more selective. Especially when it comes to his public image, he loves to project the good guy deep down, he doesn’t like himself to be cast in any negative light if he can help it 😅

[@JMFSpike]

I recall Undertaker doing an interview many years ago where he was asked if he'd ever do an autobiography. His answer was that he wouldn't because he had a few skeletons in the closest that he'd rather have stay there. I wonder if any of those skeletons had to do with things he might have done with Vince. He's always seemed like a good dude, and I'm sure he is, but good people can still do bad things from time to time.

The dissonance comes from that the Most Respected Man in wrestling is closely associated with the Most Disrespected one. As much as I am a mark for Taker since his debut at SS’90, this doesn’t have anything to do with his accomplishements or retirement. If he could do anything to help to bring justice to the victims, he must speak and act. If he fails to do it, that’s a problem.

Sigh.. so the question has been asked. This was the first thing I thought off when I saw the Vince accusations. Undertaker and Vince were/are extremely close. That recent meme of Vince getting choked up in an interview is him literally talking about how close he is to Undertaker. There's sadly no doubt in my mind that Mark knew something... unfortunately. Maybe if not the Grant situation, but certainly other situations backstage. Brock and Undertaker were pretty tight too, so... yeah man, I'm not saying yes or no, but that uncertainty in my opinion is kinda because I'm afraid to know the truth... which is pretty telling of what I actually think.
