Fightful.com’s podcast: “The List & Ya Boy” had former WWE creative writer J.J. Dillon as a guest recently. Fightful & Dillon went over numerous wrestling topics and during their discussion, Dillon mentioned that Vince McMahon thought that WWE legend, The Undertaker was originally going to have a “viking” gimmick.

Here’s an excerpt from J.J. Dillon:

“I did not see Mark Calaway before the first time he came in. When he came in, like me, that meeting was in private at Vince’s house. [Undertaker] is an impressive guy, he had the size. In the business, they call the ‘it factor,’ and if you’re on the business on the executive side, it’s hard to find the words to describe ‘it,’ I can’t explain it, but he has ‘it’ and I guess another word for it is natural charisma and [Undertaker] had it. 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 he 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 greatest wrestling character/persona that has ever lived in the WWE/F hands down.”
