The Undertaker has a pro wrestling career that is over three decades. He is not just one of the greatest WWE superstars of all time, but he is also one of the most experienced individuals in this pro wrestling business.

And in the past, you have heard several WWE superstars talking about some valuable advice that The Undertaker gave them. And recently, former WWE star Tyrus (previously known as Brodus Clay in WWE) revealed an important message that The Undertaker gave him after he became a babyface in 2012.

Tyrus made his WWE main roster debut alongside Alberto Del Rio in a heel role. But in 2012, WWE made him a babyface and gave him a fun-loving dancing gimmick, nicknamed “The Funkasaurus.”

During an interview on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Tyrus said, “Taker [The Undertaker] absolutely hated it [the fun-loving dancing gimmick]. He’s like, ‘Go out there, fall on the ramp, they will cut the whole gimmick and you can get back to being what you need to be.'”

“I just remember saying, ‘Would you do that?’ He was like, ‘No, I would do as I was told.’ So I did not fall. But his message was clear. You do what you are told, no matter what you wanna do, and it will work out,” he added.
