The Undertaker Says WWE Superstars Are Looked At The Same As Stars From The NFL And NBA

The Undertaker believes today’s roster is bigger than ever.

Speaking on the Hall Of Fame podcast, the Undertaker joined in to talk with the legendary Booker T. and Brad Gilmore as they discussed the topic of today’s WWE superstars being looked at and compared to stars from the NFL, NBA, and other sports organizations around the globe.

“I think the athletes themselves are treated on the same level as the [stars] from the NFL, NBA, and other genres of entertainment. I think WWE superstars are looked at on that same light. I think we’ve always been the most recognizable athletes and entertainers because we have so much TV time but now, just in general, they’re treated [the same way]. A lot of times when we came up, we were treated like circus sideshow things a lot of the time. Now, it’s like, ‘Oh, you’re in WWE?’. It’s crazy the people that are fans. Backstage on any given night, who’s gonna show up and they’re just wanting to tell you their wrestling stories. It’s just like, dang, we have an impact on people’s lives.”

Wrestling is in the best spot it has been in in quite some time, major promotions are striving, and places all around the independent circuit are putting themselves on the map with prodigies and makings of the next big thing.
