Whenever someone mentions the most popular wrestler of all time, the first name that pops into many wrestling fans’ minds is ‘The Undertaker’. The Undertaker is arguably the most well-known superstar in the history of WWE.

During his entire WWE career, The Undertaker remained a ‘man of few words’. He was popular for his in-ring character and fans almost knew nothing about his personal life. People even suspected that wrestling is the only thing that The Undertaker loves to do. But now that he has said ‘goodbye’ to the squared circle, ‘The Deadman’ finally talked about his favorite job outside the ring.

Recently, The Undertaker gave an interview with BT Sport journalist Ariel Helwani. There he reflected on his 30 years in WWE and talked about several other things close to him. He even revealed that besides wrestling he loves to tell stories and now he is doing it through his ‘1 deadMAN’ show. During the interview, a moment came when Helwani asked ‘The Deadman’ about the genesis of this particular idea.  

To this, the WWE Hall of Famer replied that during his career as a professional wrestler, all fans knew was just confined to his in-ring character as he didn’t speak much. But during the Hall of Fame, when he delivered a 137-minute-long speech, people realized that he has a lot to talk about. And, that started his journey as the brand ambassador of WWE.

Talking to Ariel Helwani, The Undertaker said, “I think what happened was is…I didn’t say much for 30 years you know outside of The Undertaker character…..you only got you know what I was trying to sell on TV and then. I think when I started promoting the last ride and you know the A&E thing when I kind of finally lifted the curtain and started talking about uh those things.”

He continued, Then the Hall of Fame speech is.. I screwed up and let people know that I could actually talk and uh you know the WWE was like ‘oh no we got another 30 years out of him now’. Right, but yeah that was kind of the Genesis of the whole thing.”

The Undertaker has a lot to say

‘The Deadman’ further explained that he loves to perform inside the ring. But other than that, telling stories from the past is also his favorite job to do. He even mentioned that today, fans are more interested in backstage drama than in-ring action. And since he didn’t speak much for 30 years, he has a lot to say.

“I love performing in the ring and doing that, but I really love being in the bar, in the hotels afterwards you know having some adult beverages just shooting the crap with the guys and just telling stories. And then you know as I became kind of the Elder Statesman and all these young kids that come up and they want to hear about all that stuff.”

From Mark Callaway to The Undertaker

‘The Deadman’ was very strict when it comes to his in-ring character. He never shared any glimpse of his personal life. The Undertaker strongly believes that to create engaging storylines, a wrestler must have to hide their personal life. Once he even criticized the wrestlers for not keeping their personal life a secret.
