The Undertaker was not at Madison Square Garden for the Curtain Call, and he says that was for the best.
Asked for his view on it during the latest episode of Six Feet Under, he did not soften his position on what it was at the time.
“I wasn’t there, and it was probably a good thing that I wasn’t. It goes against everything that I believe about the business, especially at the time that it happened. I thought it was selfish.”
He then made the case for the four men involved.
“I get it. I mean, these guys were all best friends, and they had been through a lot together, and traveled up and down the roads together. I get where they were coming from, but I just thought that they put themselves ahead of the business for that time period.”
He does not think the same act would mean anything now, and he put himself in that.
“I think in today’s product, I don’t think it, you know, it is what it is. If it happened today, then it’s just like, oh well, everybody’s out of pocket about the business. Me included. I mean, I’m part of that. But back then it was a different time and it was a different era.”
He was clear he has not carried anything from it.
“I just looked at it as I thought it was a selfish move, and that’s business. I don’t care, and I don’t hold any personal grudges about it. It’s happened, and we’ve moved on, and the business has boomed. But at the time, no, I didn’t care for it at all.”
The Curtain Call took place at Madison Square Garden in May 1996, when Shawn Michaels, Diesel, Razor Ramon and Triple H embraced in the ring after a match despite being on opposite sides of the storyline, on the night Kevin Nash and Scott Hall left for WCW.
