Kane ‘really proud’ of Undertaker’s AAA booking success

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Kane is “really proud” of the success his kayfabe brother is having in Lucha Libre AAA creative.

Since WWE’s acquisition of AAA, Undertaker has become an important figure behind the scenes in helping to book the lucha libre promotion. AAA reached the highest point of its WWE era so far last weekend, with the El Grande Americano (Ludwig Kaiser) vs. Original El Grande Americano (Chad Gable) mask match receiving praise as one of the best things to happen in pro wrestling all year.

On Mostly Sports with Mark Titus and Brandon Walker today, Kane reacted to how well Undertaker and AAA are doing.

“Man, it’s amazing. I’m so proud of him. He’s running AAA, which WWE bought, a Mexican promotion, and it’s super hot. I think it just shows how talented he is,” Kane said. “He is the only person that could have made The Undertaker believable. Anybody else, they could have never pulled that. Well, his ability in wrestling transcends that even. Now he’s booking and running a company. As you said, hottest match of the year. The promotion is super hot. And I’m just really proud of what he’s doing.”

While Undertaker has stayed around pro wrestling after the conclusion of his in-ring career, Kane — real name Glenn Jacobs — entered politics and is currently serving his final term as mayor of Knox County, Tennessee.

Kaiser defeated Gable in the mask match at Noche de Los Grandes and will now keep the Americano gimmick moving forward. AAA has Triplemania, traditionally its biggest show of the year, coming up on September 11 and 13 with the respective nights being held in Las Vegas and Mexico City.

Undertaker comments on AAA Noche de Los Grandes —

Following Saturday’s event, Undertaker sent out a tweet thanking everyone who watched Noche de Los Grandes and made the atmosphere electric.

“The atmosphere was electric. The world was watching. History was made,” his X account posted. “To all those in attendance in Monterrey and for everyone who watched #AAANocheDeLosGrandes wherever you did…thank you for making it a truly epic night for @luchalibreaaa!”

May 14, 2007 Observer Newsletter: The curse of the WWE SmackDown World title, TNA vs. ROH conflict

Posted on by F4W Staff

Nearly 19 years later, the entire 2007 run of the Wrestling Observer Newsletters is complete with the May 14, 2007 issue.

And given the past month, it’s an interesting one for sure.

Dave Meltzer did a deep dive into what he called the “cursed” WWE SmackDown title due to injuries to Undertaker and Mr. Kennedy that threw everything into a bit of chaos which didn’t just start with them.

He also discussed the start of a bit of a war/conflict between TNA and ROH after the latter announced a bi-monthly taped PPV deal that TNA didn’t like one bit. Given TNA’s last month+ of news, this seemed oddly timely.

Dave also has more information on 2006 WWE financials, the financial success of WrestleMania 2007 (spoiler: it wasn’t as big as this year’s but it makes for a good read of how things used to be), plus news and reviews from around the wrestling and MMA world.

One more missing 2008 issue will be uploaded over the next two weeks, but 2007 is now complete as is every year from 1991 to current.

John Cena set for podcast appearance at WWE World

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Another appearance has been added to John Cena’s WWE WrestleMania 42 weekend schedule.

It was announced earlier this week that Cena, following his retirement from the ring in December 2025, will serve as the host of WrestleMania 42. During his time in Las Vegas, Cena will also sit down with The Undertaker for a live podcast recording. They’ll record an episode of Undertaker’s Six Feet Under podcast at the WWE World convention on Saturday, April 18 — which is the same day as night one of WrestleMania.

“Two icons. One stage. LIVE. John Cena joins The Undertaker for a live recording of Six Feet Under at WWE World,” it was announced. “No script. No filters. Just conversation you won’t hear anywhere else.”

WWE and Fanatics have partnered together for WWE World every year since 2024, with the convention replacing WWE Axxess as the company’s WrestleMania weekend fan event.

Six Feet Under is hosted by Undertaker and his wife Michelle McCool, who became the new co-host of the show in 2025 after it joined the WWE & Fanatics podcast network.

Cena is still under contract with WWE as an ambassador in his post-wrestling career. Though he’ll still be making some appearances, Cena has said that he will never wear his signature jorts or other wrestling gear again. He’ll instead opt for more formal attire like suits.

WrestleMania 42 is being held at Allegiant Stadium in Vegas on April 18-19. The stadium also hosted last year’s show, where Cena had his final WrestleMania match against Cody Rhodes.

The last time Cena and Undertaker ever faced off was a quick bout at WrestleMania 34 in 2018.

AEW’s Julia Hart says Alexa Bliss ‘definitely was a big influence’

Posted on by Rosanne Raphael

In her AEW career, Julia Hart has taken some inspiration from WWE star Alexa Bliss.

Hart spoke with ITR Wrestling and addressed the character transformation she went through when she went from playing a cheerleader to the darker persona she has today. It was a necessary shift for Hart as she grew into her wrestling career and left her cheerleading past behind.

“I think it just needed to happen because I was so hung up on cheerleading. That’s all I knew for six years so I was trying too hard to put a cheerleader in wrestling instead of being a wrestler and just happen to be a cheerleader kind of thing,” Hart said. “So I think this character shift really helped me become my full self as a wrestler and kind of leave cheer behind and really helped me get to the next level. I started to feel more confident because I wasn’t trying to be a cheerleader, ‘A cheerleader wouldn’t that, a cheerleader wouldn’t do this.’ Okay, but you’re not a cheerleader, you’re a wrestler. It definitely helped me, I needed that character shift.”

Growing up, Hart was a big fan of Bliss and has looked to her character for inspiration without directly imitating her.

“I didn’t look at her career and think, ‘I want to do exactly that.’ She definitely was a big influence and I definitely grew up loving her and watching her,” Hart said. “So, I would go back and use her as a reference, but I never directly went like, ‘This is what I was going to do.’ I wanted to be a cheerleader because I was a cheerleader in real life in high school and I had no other character ideas.”

Hart credited her former House of Black teammates — Malakai Black, Buddy Matthews & Brody King — and Tony Khan for guiding her character shift and helping her get more television time.

“We were then put in a program with Malakai (Black) and I was like I want to be on TV more and I wanted to ask like, ‘How can I make this a story?’ And he was fully on board with me and worked with me and helped me and Brody (King) and Buddy (Matthews) helped as well,” she said. “And then Tony (Khan) brought it to life. It was just trying to figure out how can I get out of this loop and get to the next level.”

Hart began her AEW career in 2021 and soon joined The Varsity Blondes as a cheerleader. A run-in with Black later that year led to the darker transformation and eventual alignment with House of Black. She has since risen through the women’s division, which ultimately led to the formation of Triangle of Madness with Thekla & Skye Blue.

Brock Lesnar reflects on breaking Undertaker’s WWE WrestleMania streak

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Brock Lesnar had mixed emotions when he broke The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak in 2014.

At WrestleMania 30, Lesnar defeated Undertaker to end his Mania streak after 21 straight victories. It was a controversial decision and remains one of the biggest moments in WWE history. Lesnar reflected on the night during an appearance on Barstool Sports’ Spittin Chiclets podcast.

“For me, guys, it’s really simple. Like, this is a business. It’s a business,” Lesnar said about the decision for him to win. “And I think a lot of guys live and breathe the lifestyle of it. And for Taker — obviously it wasn’t my call to make. At the time, Vince McMahon, if there was a person that could take the streak away with a legitimate background and people could believe it, I guess it was me. There’s a lot of people that are pissed that it’s me, but it’s not my call. And so my hats off to Undertaker, Mark, he’s a great guy. And at the end, it’s a business. It’s a give and take. And it was time for Taker to give — and it was a time for Brock Lesnar to take it.”

Lesnar said he was excited when he found out he was going to win, but he also felt bad for Undertaker. They’ve always had a good relationship. And after Undertaker suffered a concussion during the match, Lesnar made sure to go to the hospital with him.

“He was a mentor of mine. Like, I worked with Taker for many years,” Lesnar said. “And so now we’re out in this match and Taker got hit left field day of. He’s coming to his [22nd] WrestleMania thinking that he’s going to win and then two hours before we go on, the rug gets pulled on him. And so a lot of different emotions there, I’m sure. I was excited, but I also felt bad too. Like, I’m the guy and I get to be the guy.

“So we’re out in the match and next thing I know Taker is not being Taker. It’s a dance out there and you just got to do your best to get through it. And we did. And, yeah, out of respect — because I spent a lot of time with Taker and I wanted to make sure that he was all right. And that’s part of the deal, you know? I did go to the hospital to make sure he was okay. That’s just part of the respect thing.”

Undertaker ended up continuing his in-ring career through WrestleMania 36, where he defeated AJ Styles in a Boneyard Match. He finished with a WrestleMania record of 25-2.

At WrestleMania 42 this year, Lesnar is set to face up-and-coming WWE star Oba Femi. The two-night event is being held in Las Vegas on Saturday, April 18 and Sunday, April 19.

Ricky Saints says Undertaker has given him ‘so many gems’ of WWE advice

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Getting advice from his favorite wrestler of all time has been a wild experience for Ricky Saints.

In an interview with KRON 4 News, Saints named The Undertaker, The Rock, and Mankind as his three favorite wrestlers. Undertaker takes the top spot on that list, and it’s still surreal for Saints to be in the same company as Undertaker and receiving advice from him.

“I met The Undertaker several times. He’s awesome, given me so many gems of advice and knowledge that he’s dropped on me,” Saints said. “It’s wild. It’s wild to see every time I see him at the [Performance Center] or at some of these shows that we go up and greet each other and, you know, catch up a little bit. But, yeah, it’s insane, like watching as a kid and now being on the same show, being a part of the same company with him, is wild.”

Saints and Undertaker actually first met in a gym while Undertaker was training for his WrestleMania 32 match against Shane McMahon, and Saints later helped Undertaker’s wife Michelle McCool prepare for a Royal Rumble appearance.

Undertaker’s behind-the-scenes influence has grown over the past year with him becoming an important voice in Lucha Libre AAA’s creative after the promotion was acquired by WWE.

At NXT Vengeance Day earlier this month, Saints came up short in his attempt to win the NXT Championship from Joe Hendry. A match between Saints and Tony D’Angelo is set to take place on NXT next week.

Chelsea Green says Michael Hayes apologized for ‘WWE: Unreal’ comments

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Michael Hayes has reached out to apologize to Chelsea Green for comments he made on the second season of “WWE: Unreal.”

The Netflix docuseries included a clip where Hayes said that Green, while entertaining, is not built for a top role like Charlotte Flair or Tiffany Stratton. Hayes said Green’s spot in WWE is instead to make main event stars like Flair and Stratton.

On a new episode of the Nikki & Brie Show, Green noted that she and Hayes have spoken about the comments. Green also opened up about how much it meant to her to have The Undertaker push back against Hayes’ remarks. Undertaker — during an episode of his podcast where Hayes was the guest — said he thinks Green is underutilized and could be a top player in WWE.

“Michael Hayes has apologized to me and we’ve spoken about it and everything,” Green said. “But at the end of the day, I know that Undertaker has had my back because he booked me to win the Mixed AAA tag titles. So he has believed in me since before Michael Hayes said that. And someone of that like high caliber or high status in wrestling, like that means a lot to me. You know, he doesn’t waste his breath on anyone.”

Though Green knows she has her fans, it was really impactful to have a legend like The Undertaker being so vocal in his praise. He also sent Green a text sticking up for her.

“I know everyone says like, ‘Oh my gosh, you’re so funny.’ Or like, ‘I watched you and that was hilarious.’ But there’s always the same girls that is everyone’s favorite wrestlers,” Green said. “Rhea [Ripley] is always going to be everyone’s favorite wrestler. Stephanie [Vaquer] is always going to be everyone’s favorite wrestler, right? And I’m used to that. And I support them. I champion them. They’re my favorite wrestlers too. But to hear Undertaker saying my name, sticking up for like little old me and saying it was such conviction, like he did not hesitate for a second. And he had told me that in the text.”

Hayes has claimed that the editing of “Unreal” presented his comments out of context, leaving out praise he had for how talented Green is.

At the moment, Green is out of action with an ankle injury but is on a “good trajectory” in her recovery.

Undertaker: WWE has gotten ‘too comfortable’ pulling back the curtain

Posted on by Joseph Currier

As you’d probably expect given his old-school mentality, The Undertaker isn’t the biggest fan of “WWE: Unreal.”

The latest episode of Undertaker’s Six Feet Under podcast included a discussion about the “Unreal” docuseries. While Undertaker thinks the show is well done, he does not like pulling back the curtain in this way.

“The actual presentation and everything is wonderful, right? From my aspect and my end of the business, I don’t like it,” Undertaker said. “And everybody’s going to say, ‘Oh my God, that’s an old-school guy trying to protect kayfabe.’ Look, I don’t care if it’s 2025, it’s 1990, or it’s 1984. Everybody understands what wrestling is. Everybody knows. Ain’t no big veil been lifted — except I don’t want to go to see a magician and know how he’s doing everything. And I understand that there’s a huge part, they’re like, ‘Oh, that’s interesting, I want to do that.’ But there’s still that aspect…

“Everybody knows what we do, right? But when I’m in the ring, my whole goal, my motivation is to get one person, just one person to think, ‘Wow, Undertaker just clocked him. I don’t care what everybody else is doing. That right there, that was the real thing.’ So there’s always the doubt.”

Undertaker admitted that he knows people on the internet will take issue with his comments and feel like he’s out of touch. Still, he wishes pro wrestling would not expose the business as much as it does. Even hosting his own podcast can be difficult for Undertaker given his reluctance to pull back the curtain.

“I think we’re too comfortable now in talking about our business. And I struggle on these podcasts too, because it’s hard to talk. It’s hard to talk and tell stories without lifting it up a little bit,” he said. “But I think we’ve gone too far. And again, I understand. Everyone knows what it is, what we do. But there’s got to be a little bit of mystery.”

The second season of “Unreal” premiered on January 20, and the series has already been renewed for season three.

Undertaker retired in 2020 and is now involved behind the scenes in WWE, helping lead creative for Lucha Libre AAA.

Undertaker feels he had better chemistry with Shawn Michaels than Bret Hart

Posted on by Joseph Currier

It’s difficult to choose between the two, but The Undertaker feels like he probably had better in-ring chemistry with Shawn Michaels than Bret Hart.

Undertaker, Michaels, and Hart were three of WWE’s defining stars of the 1990s. On a new episode of “What Do You Wanna Talk About?,” Cody Rhodes asked Undertaker which of the two he liked facing more. Undertaker called it basically a tossup and spoke highly of both. He thinks his very best matches were with Michaels, but Undertaker will always be grateful for how Hart helped him become a better wrestler.

“They were both great. They were both so good in the ring. I probably had the very best chemistry with Shawn,” Undertaker said. “But I tell you what, I’ve said this a few times about Bret, because talking about living this and believing everything, Bret did. And I respect that. When Bret was the champion, he was the champion. And he conducted himself as a champion, from top to bottom. When I started working with Bret, like I was real, real heavy, even in my ring work with the character, right? I was still trying to establish all of that. And there was only so far Bret was going to go with, as he called it, the Frankenstein gimmick, right? There was only so far he was going to go to put me over with that. Obviously, he was a more tenured guy. He was higher up than me, so not a lot I could do about it. And I wanted to have great matches, and I wanted to work with guys like Bret.

“So being able to work against Bret forced me to learn how to work within the gimmick and have not just a gimmick match, but to have really, really good matches. Bret forced me to get out of the comfort zone of the Jason Voorhees, the Michael Myers stuff, and actually put on a wrestling match. So for that, I’ll always be grateful to Bret because he pushed me and made me become better.”

The last match between Undertaker and Hart took place in 1997. Undertaker and Michaels’ rivalry continued past the 1990s and into the 2000s/2010s, including two well-regarded WrestleMania matches.

“Shawn may be the only guy I’ve ever known that could have a five-star match with a broomstick,” Undertaker said. “I mean, he’s just that talented.”

Both Undertaker and Michaels work behind the scenes in WWE now, with Undertaker helping out with Lucha Libre AAA and Michaels leading NXT.

Undertaker not trying to make AAA like ‘Raw or SmackDown WWE’

Posted on by Joseph Currier

While appearing on Cody Rhodes’ “What Do You Wanna Talk About?” podcast, The Undertaker detailed the vision he has for Lucha Libre AAA.

Undertaker has become a significant behind-the-scenes player in AAA since WWE acquired the lucha libre promotion in 2025. His role includes helping out in creative. In that position, Undertaker wants to preserve the legacy AAA has while also adding in elements like better storytelling and production values.

“Helping out with creative and doing some stuff with AAA, I’m trying to — my vision is to almost take a step back to step forward. I’m really high on the physicality and the actual in-ring stuff and things making sense, which is kind of difficult from where I’ve come from and then working with AAA,” Undertaker said

“The lucha libre legacy is incredible, right? With the mask and then there’s so many [legacy wrestlers], you know, there’s this guy who then has a son who has a son. So all these legacies and all this culture is in there. What we’re trying to do is honor that, but give more production value to the product and help story tell a little better. I think that’s the biggest thing.”

Undertaker praised the talent in AAA and the fandom the promotion already has. Though elements of the WWE product will be melded in, Undertaker wants AAA to exist as an alternative.

“Talking about incredible athletes and the things that they can do is, it’s amazing,” Undertaker said. “And the following they have is amazing. So if I can take the best of lucha libre and the best of what I know and I can mold them together, I think we’re going to have something that’s really, really special down there.

“But that’s the key. I’m not trying to make AAA Lucha Libre, I’m not trying to make it Raw or SmackDown WWE. I’m taking some elements of that, adding it to what they already do, and try and make a product that everyone will want to see. And it’s an alternative. It’s just like the other company. Raw, SmackDown, all these other, TNA, just to give people a variety and different things to enjoy about wrestling.”

AAA began a new TV deal with Fox Latin America this month. The promotion will be broadcast on Fox in Mexico, Central America, and South America (except Brazil), with WWE streaming the TV show on YouTube and Facebook outside of those areas.

Bruce Prichard details scandal involving cemetery used for Undertaker vignettes

Posted on by Ian Carey

One of the cemeteries WWE used for The Undertaker’s early vignettes harbors a dark secret.

Bruce Prichard appeared on The Undertaker’s Six Feet Under podcast recently and discussed filming vignettes early in Undertaker’s career, including at a Stamford-based cemetery. Prichard said that either after a shoot, or shortly thereafter, his assistant showed him the front page of a Stamford newspaper detailing crimes connected to the cemetery.

Prichard said:

“That cemetery, either after that shoot, shortly thereafter, my assistant came in and showed me the front page of the Stamford newspaper. That cemetery had been accused of stacking bodies. And they found them. And this guy would dig holes for us, he would let us go on mausoleums, everything.“

“They would just stack. And then once they knew the family was gone, they’d get rid of that headstone and sell it to another family. Sure, we got room! Don’t worry about it!”

“We got plenty of room, we got plenty of dirt,” Taker added.

While Prichard never named the cemetery directly, the timing lines up with the Fairfield Memorial Park scandal of the early 1990s, which led to several lawsuits against the cemetery. Testimony from cemetery workers stated that management did not know which bodies were in which graves, that bodies were sometimes buried away from where headstones had been placed, and that plots were sold more than once.

Prichard and Undertaker also discussed filming the vignettes, with Prichard saying he enjoyed them more than Undertaker did.

“They were fun!” Prichard said.

“They were anything but fun,” Taker replied.

Prichard and Taker’s comments about the cemetery scandal begins around the 40-minute mark of the interview.

Chelsea Green ‘begged’ Undertaker for Lucha Libre AAA spot

Posted on by Joseph Currier

To get her spot in Lucha Libre AAA, Chelsea Green reached out to The Undertaker and “begged” him to let her be part of the promotion.

Undertaker has become one of the most important behind-the-scenes figures in AAA since WWE acquired the company. He and Jeremy Borash are involved with booking AAA, and Green contacted both of them asking to be featured. It resulted in Green and Ethan Page both being brought to Mexico and winning the AAA Mixed Tag Team titles.

“When I first got the call to go to AAA, it’s because I begged Undertaker. Like every single show that I’m on, I begged the producers,” Green joked while appearing on Notsam Wrestling. “When I just wrestled Sol Ruca for the United States Women’s title, I messaged Shawn Michaels and Johnny Russo and asked for that match. I didn’t ask for Sol, but I asked for a match. Yeah, I’m out here just begging on my hands and knees, ‘Please, someone let me wrestle.’

“So, I messaged Undertaker. First, I messaged Anthony Luke — who is Maxxine’s husband now — I messaged him. I asked for Undertaker’s number. He wouldn’t give it to me, so he gave me Michelle McCool’s. I messaged Michelle McCool. Michelle McCool gave me Undertaker’s number. Then I messaged Undertaker and JB and I was like, ‘Please, I want to go to Mexico. I want to wrestle. I want to do whatever I can.’ He was like, ‘All right, say less.’ He booked Ethan and I together. I didn’t think that was going to be the way — I just wanted to go. I didn’t care how I went.”

Green said she loves holding the Mixed Tag Team titles because it’s a championship that, at one point, she couldn’t imagine would be part of WWE. She wants to showcase the championship and is sure to bring it to all of her media appearances.

“if I’m in AAA, I want to make sure that the WWE audience watches AAA as well,” Green said. “So I’ve done everything I could in my power to make sure that this title is seen everywhere I go.”

As a WWE main roster wrestler, Green hopes that her presence in AAA helps bring some more exposure to the other talent in the promotion.

“Those girls are real fighters, man. They are no joke. They’re incredibly talented,” Green said about the AAA women’s division. “And I just hope that now that AAA is on Fox [in Mexico] and that I am there hopefully shining a new light on it, maybe those luchadoras and those luchadors will get, you know — they’ll make even more money and they’ll get even more eyes on them and whatever.”

Green had been a double champion before dropping the WWE Women’s United States Championship to Giulia on SmackDown last Friday. She and Page still hold the AAA Mixed Tag Team titles — and Page is the men’s North American Champion in NXT.

AJ Styles to appear on live Undertaker WWE podcast episode

Posted on by Joseph Currier

This Friday night, AJ Styles will be joining The Undertaker for a conversation in Washington, D.C.

Undertaker announced today that Styles will be the guest for a live recording of Six Feet Under at The Howard Theatre on December 12. The podcast is hosted by Undertaker and Michelle McCool and is part of the WWE & Fanatics podcast network.

On the episode, Undertaker and Styles will be looking back at their cinematic Boneyard Match from WrestleMania 36 in 2020 — which was the final match of Undertaker’s career.

For those not attending the live taping, the show will presumably be uploaded to YouTube and all podcasting platforms at a later date.

“I’m excited to announce that our guest during the live episode of #SixFeetUnder this Friday will be the Phenomenal @AJStylesOrg,” Undertaker revealed. “For the first time ever, we’ll breakdown the Boneyard Match and so much more. Don’t miss this show…get your tickets now!”

The podcast recording is happening in Washington, D.C. as part of the festivities surrounding John Cena’s retirement match. Cena will compete for the final time on December 13 when he faces Gunther at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Capital One Arena is hosting the match.

Last month, WWE launched an official Undertaker YouTube channel that includes episodes of Six Feet Under. The podcast originally launched outside of the WWE umbrella but was added to the WWE & Fanatics podcast network this summer. When that happened, McCool replaced former co-host Matthew Lyda.

WWE launches new Undertaker YouTube channel

Posted on by Joseph Currier

WWE is trying out something new on YouTube by launching an official channel dedicated to The Undertaker.

The new channel opened up today and will host episodes of Undertaker’s Six Feet Under podcast. Along with that, WWE will upload past Undertaker matches and compilation videos featuring classic Undertaker footage.

WWE Head of Digital Steve Braband told entertainment outlet Variety that the new channel aims to further WWE’s goal of increasing its presence on YouTube and giving fans specialized content to watch.

“We’re going to treat it like how we’ve expanded our YouTube presence, with this one being unique having ‘Taker’s podcast as the centerpiece of the channel and surrounding archive content,” Braband said. “We’re really, really excited about it and think it’ll do well.”

Braband said WWE now has 15 official channels on YouTube, an increase from the four it had in 2024. Other new additions include dedicated pages for WCW and NXT.

“You have to create specialized viewing for fans on YouTube now,” Braband said. “We had four channels last year in 2024 on YouTube, and this year, in 2025 we have 14, about to be 15 with this ‘Taker channel.”

Undertaker’s Six Feet Under podcast originally existed outside of the WWE umbrella. It joined the WWE & Fanatics podcast network this summer with Michelle McCool replacing former co-host Matthew Lyda. New episodes of Six Feet Under will now premiere every other Wednesday.

In Washington, D.C. next month, WWE is holding a live taping of Six Feet Under at The Howard Theatre. The taping is set to begin at 8 p.m. Eastern time on Friday, December 12.

This week’s Six Feet Under episode saw Undertaker and McCool look back at some of Undertaker’s classic Survivor Series moments.
