On the latest episode of his “Six Feet Under” podcast, The Undertaker revealed that he is in the process of building a new wrestling ring on his property. He and his wife and co-host, Michelle McCool, discussed the origin of the ring, which will be housed in a new barn currently under construction.
The new ring was a birthday gift for Michelle McCool, though The Undertaker admitted he was hoping for a different outcome. He explained that he presented her with three mystery options for her birthday. “I had three different, three options,” he said. “They were in envelopes or whatnot”. McCool added, “One said, like, golf simulator. One was like a vacation, and then one was a wrestling ring, and I happened to draw the wrestling ring”. The Undertaker jokingly lamented her choice, saying, “Lucky me, you drew the wrestling ring because I really wanted that golf simulator”.
McCool also shared a humorous story involving their son, Kolt, who apparently overheard his father complaining about the project. “We’re sitting in the car on the way to school. He goes, ‘Mommy, Daddy’s a dummy,'” she recounted. When she asked why, Kolt replied, “Well, he said he’s a dummy for building that wrestling ring… he said it was dummy because it’s gonna take so long”.
With a new training facility on the horizon, McCool pitched a joking name for the ring, tying it into the idea of second and third-generation wrestlers. “I think we should call it Nepo Valley,” she said. “And only Nepo babies can come train… you know Roux could come train. I mean, I know Seth [Rollins] and Becky [Lynch] have a school, but you got Alexa’s [Bliss] baby… all sorts of Nepo babies”.
The Undertaker responded with mock concern about who might be showing up at their home. “Is that what I’m getting into, is there going to be like randoms floating around?” he asked. “Just Nepos? Yes, invite only, because I don’t want to come home one day, and there just be a bunch of random people”.
The project has been in the works for a significant amount of time, with McCool noting that the gift took “a solid six, seven years” to come to fruition. The construction of the barn and the installation of the ring marks a new chapter for the family, with a training ground for the next generation of wrestlers now being built on their property.
