The Undertaker credits Bret Hart for pushing him to further develop his Deadman character.
While speaking to Manchester Evening News, The Undertaker talked about a match he had with Bret Hart in the U.K. and how Hart pushed him to develop his character further.
I remember having a match against Bret Hart and Bret in the states was a heel at the time, but everywhere else, he was still a face. We had a match in the U.K., it must have been 45 minutes and through the course of the match, one moment they’re going, ‘Lets go Bret’ and two minutes later it’s, ‘Lets go Taker.’ It was so cool to have that kind of energy, it was just off the charts. Probably one of my favorite matches of all time, it was really good. Bret pushed me to be more than a character. He pushed me into figuring out how to be the character and be a wrestler too. That’s something I’m really grateful to him for pushing me in that direction, because I don’t think I would have lasted as long as I did if I didn’t evolve.
