The Undertaker is one of the most well-renowned pro wrestlers in the industry. His experience and achievements are second to none, as he is one of the most experienced veterans in the company. The Undertaker was regarded as a locker-room leader during his time and was respected by all.

‘The Deadman’ was in WWE for approximately three decades and witnessed closely the evolution and the growth of the company. However, The Undertaker recently hung up his boots from pro wrestling after WrestleMania 36. He was inducted into the 2022 WWE Hall of Fame.

Over the course of his career, The Undertaker helped put over several wrestlers. The WWE legend also played an active part in helping and guiding several upcoming wrestlers as well.

One of them was Brian Adams aka Crush. During an episode of Grillin’ With JR, Jim Ross revealed an incident where The Undertaker helped Brian Adams get a push in WWE. Crush was a popular wrestler and shared a good friendship with Randy Savage and The Undertaker.

Jim Ross said, “If Mark was trying to get Crush back, it shows you that Mark Calaway has great character and integrity for trying to help a friend on more than one occasion. Again, Mark Calaway saw the same thing many of us saw in Brian Adams, unlimited potential.” Ross revealed how much potential The Undertaker saw in Adams.

The Undertaker Chose ‘Crush’ the fans did not

Ross also stated that even though Savage and The Undertaker saw potential in Adams, the fans never saw it. He stated, “Potential doesn’t buy the groceries. And so, I admire Mark Calaway’s loyalty. Always have. He is a man of integrity. He wanted to help a friend. There is nothing wrong with trying to help a friend. But, at some point, you got to fish or cut bait. At some point, the realization was, hey, we have done all we can do.”

Ross revealed that even after help from The Undertaker, Adams never really was motivated enough. Both Savage and The Phenom were campaign managers for Crush. They tried their best to get him ‘elected’, but the fans did not want him.

Ross stated, “He just doesn’t seem to be motivated to get to that next level in the way we perceive he has the ability to do. And so that was a Taker thing. That was Taker facilitating him back. I’m sure they have many conversations. ‘Hey brother I need the money and family blah blah blah. And Taker’s the kind of guy that would help a friend. So, I think that’s the root of the whole story right here.”

“Taker and Savage were the campaign managers for Crush and they did all they could to get him “elected” but the people didn’t vote for it. The fans didn’t vote for it. They saw something that should be great because of his size, his ability, quick feet, etc, but they weren’t buying it.”

Well, The Undertaker has always been someone who has tried to put over younger talent, and this was just one such occasion.
