However, he left the promotion a year later after he was told that . Surprisingly, another reason that helped his departure was that he didn't want to face Giant Gonzalez (El Gigante in WCW). Still, The Phenom wasn't able to escape , however, since the latter joined WWE in 1993. He even debuted at that year's Royal Rumble, where he eliminated The Undertaker. The two later faced each other again on WrestleMania 9. Speaking on , The Undertaker revealed that he requested to work with Yokozuna. He was shocked to learn that he would work with The Giant instead. Taker shared that he begged McMahon not to proceed, but it happened anyway: "So I'm standing there and looking through the curtain, pull my head out and I said, 'Vince please. I'm begging you' because I had a few stinkers in a row. I said, 'please. Please let me work with him (Yokozuna) first.' I got the traditional Vince. (Undertaker does Vince laugh and impression) 'Oh, you'll work with him, but I've got something else in mind for you right now,' and I kid you not, just so happens coming down the hall from the far end of the of the stage comes Giant Gonzalez. He goes, 'that's what I got in store for you.' That's another one of the reasons I left WCW. They wanted me to work with him, and then he follows me here. I was like, please. So anyway, as it worked out Lex got Yoko first, and I got Giant Gonzalez and the rest is history." (H/T )
