The Undertaker on WWE Unreal: “I don’t like it – I think we’re too comfortable now in talking about our business”
While speaking on his Six Feet Under podcast, The Undertaker gave his thoughts on the WWE: Unreal show…
“The actual presentation and everything is wonderful, right? From my aspect and my end of the business, I don’t like it.
Everybody’s gonna say, ‘Oh my God, it’s an old school guy trying to protect kayfabe.’ Look, I don’t care if it’s 2025, it’s 1990, or it’s 1984. Everybody understands what wrestling is. Ain’t no big veil been lifted.
I don’t wanna go and see a magician and know how he’s doing everything. I understand that there’s a huge part that’s like, ‘Oh, that’s interesting, I wanna do that.’
Everybody knows what we do. Right? But when I’m in the ring, my whole goal, my motivation, is to get one person—just one person—to think, ‘Wow. Undertaker just clocked him.’
I don’t care what everybody else is doing. That right there, that was the real thing. So there’s always the doubt. Right?
And again, I know there’s the IWC and the kids out there, they’re gonna rip all that apart and I don’t really care.
I don’t think we have to throw it in people’s faces. I think we’ve got too comfortable. I think we’re too comfortable now in talking about our business.
And I struggle on these podcasts too. It’s hard to talk and tell stories without, you know, without lifting it up a little bit. But I think we’ve gone too far.
And again, I understand everyone knows what it is, what we do, but there’s gotta be a little bit of mystery.”
