VIDEO: Andrew Flintoff got an offer to fight Undertaker, English all -rounder turned down WWE’s deal
Former England cricketer Andrew Flintoff has made a big disclosure that he was almost fighting with the WWE Hall of Fame the Undertaker. The all -rounder claimed that soon after retiring from cricket, he was offered an ‘obscene’ contract by Stanford -based wrestling promotion but refused to the deal.
Speaking on The Overlap’s Stick to Cricket, Flintoff explained the reason behind rejecting WWE co-founder Vince McMahon’s proposal. He said, “I just hid a little and started thinking,” Now what am I going to do? ” Some TV proposals started coming, which was never a plan.
Flintoff then spoke about his training to fight the Undertaker in Manchester and his training for a big fight. He further said, “What happened is that in Dubai I was unfit, my weight gained and I did not fit properly. I wanted to fit again, but I needed inspiration. I loved WWE in childhood, so I got this idea in my mind, because I was doing the League of Day to fight Undertaker in Manchester with Sky.”

I and my wife have gone to Tampa, I have to spend two weeks in the wrestling academy. They fly us in business class, the next morning we sit in the car and we are sitting in the car and we are sitting in my actions. Passing, such as 6 feet 8 inch demon. “
While finishing his point, he said, “Two weeks later, I got an email from WWE, which said, ‘You cannot make your documentary because you will reveal the secret, we want to put you on a three -year contract. He said,’ We will move you fast and in 18 months you will be in WrestleMania and Royal Rumble. We were very much in the money, but we wanted to go back to America, but we wanted to go back to America. Wanted, so I turned it into boxing and made a match instead. “
