The Undertaker is preparing to enter the WWE Hall of Fame this weekend, the former world champion and WWE legend have been making media interviews (while he was honored with a statue to his memory).
Recently, The Undertaker has gotten the reputation of making comments regarding the current WWE generation that aren’t particularly friendly. At times, he’s been seen to be a fan of the old days of WWE. When wrestlers used to have a blast in the streets instead of playing video games. He even called the current generation “soft. “
In the interview for Sports Illustrated, The Undertaker put his stamp on his present WWE lineup in a dramatic way. Particularly, women who are on the roster. He said:
As great as she is right now, Bianca is still light years away from where she’s going to be.
Bianca is a real phenomenal talent. And Becky is in such command of her gimmick. She’s at the top of her game. I thought they threw even more gasoline on the fire this week with Becky getting her hair cut. There is so much emotion surrounding that match. I’ll try to sit down in my seat, have a beer and enjoy it.
In addition he praised AJ Styles, the wrestler who has the honor of taking on The Undertaker in his last match at WrestleMania 36. He said:
I’m so excited for Edge and AJ Styles. Those guys are so in tune with what they do. They know their characters, they know how to have great matches, and this is something new for WrestleMania. It’s really going to be a fun match to watch. That match, with those peaks and valleys, it’s going to be a roller coaster.
As a fan, I’m excited to see Austin. When Steve was in his prime and on top, he was really intense. He took all of this very, very seriously, as he should have, and he was kind of a lone wolf. After our careers, we’ve really grown closer. We’re two Texas boys, and we like to talk about hunting and fishing and all that good stuff. After 19 years since his last match, and with WrestleMania in Texas at AT&T Stadium, I’m just like everyone else-I can’t wait to hear and see the reaction when that glass breaks.
The Undertaker and Stone Cold Steve Austin had several matches against one another on television through the years. Their most memorable fight was at SummerSlam 1998. A year prior, they wrestled for the world title for the first time in a singles match on PPV at May 1997’s In Your House: Cold Day In Hell.
Concerning this current WWE team, The Undertaker summed up his thoughts in a statement that reads as:
This era’s talent is incredible. I love the way they’re developing psychology and in-ring personas. WrestleMania is going to be special.
