The Undertaker is instantly recognisable in wrestling thanks to his trademark black hat and coat, but Michelle McCool wanted him to bare all for ESPN.

During a recent edition of his “Six Feet Under” podcast, the Phenom shared that McCool wanted him to go nude for the ESPN Body Issue. He said,

“She tried to talk me into this, the ESPN Body Issue. This one was trying to convince me years ago… That’s not my Undertaker! They do not want to see under the black.

“I mean she tried like hard to convince me, like, ‘You’re gonna diet and get stuff.’ Yes, of course I turned it down.”

McCool explained how the shoot could have gone, and poked fun at the claims she got ahead in WWE thanks to their marriage, but couldn’t get him nude. She said,

“You with all the tats, you could just have the turnbuckle right there. ‘Taker right there with the turnbuckle, just with the W logo, and flexing like this.

“See, he wouldn’t even do that for me. People think I get everything because of him — the one thing I ask him for, he shot it down.”

McCool added that The Undertaker does walk around naked in their home “all the time.” McCool was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame earlier this year.
