The Undertaker Discusses Preference for Live Events with Steve Austin

Mark Calaway, famously known as The Undertaker, expressed his preference for wrestling Steve Austin during WWE live events rather than on television or pay-per-view. He shared his thoughts on his podcast, noting that the relaxed atmosphere of house shows allowed for greater creativity and spontaneity in their performances.

Calaway reminisced about a specific live event where Austin humorously parodied The Undertaker's Old School move, showcasing the fun and inventive spirit that characterized their matches outside of the more scripted television environment. He emphasized that such creative liberties were not typically possible during televised events.

Additionally, Calaway highlighted the advantages of working with Austin, mentioning that matches with him often resulted in favorable payoffs and enthusiastic fan reactions. Between 1996 and 2002, the two wrestlers faced each other in seven one-on-one pay-per-view matches and nine matches on WWE Raw.
