The Undertaker: I Was The Last Guy That Put Effort Into Protecting The Business And The Character

The Undertaker believes he is the last actual wrestler to protect their character.

The Deadman spent over three decades entertaining, digging holes, and taking souls, plus lots more. He also feels like the last person in the business who took the time to protect it and himself around it.

Mark Calaway, the man behind The Phenom was on the Manchester Evening News where he went into detail about how he may have been the last wrestler to truly protect his in-ring character.

“I was the last guy that put that kind of effort into protecting the business and protecting a character.”

“It’s so funny the amount of hate that I’ve got, from people now, you know, they hear my normal voice, and me talk about normal things,” he said. “The hate that I get because people feel like I destroyed their childhood and I’m like, ‘Me!?, me!? I was the last one. I was the last one, I’m the guy you’re gonna take you’re heat out on?'”

Since his last match at WrestleMania 36 where he defeated AJ Styles in a Boneyard Match, Calaway has spent his retirement touring with his “UNDERTAKER 1 deadMAN SHOW” speaking series, which sees him breakdown his wrestling career and tell live audiences stories from backstage.
