Undertaker was the best watching WWE as a kid, and he never broke character and to see him and listen to him is crazy. Super smart dude and legendary entertainer.
I met Undertaker at a CD Warehouse signing event, which is a very old fashioned sentence. Always my favorite wrestler, stayed in character (at least in terms of voice, he was still friendly and funny with fans), and moved with the grace of a Frankensteinian Ballerina.
Jake russell aew is much better
@@yoyobear3 lol no
i hope he sees this, bro.
He transforms so much into his character, he is almost unrecognizeable as a regular person.
Facts
Sign of a master of his craft 👍🏽
This the first time I heard him talk normal 😂
Not really it’s just the eye liner I think 🤔
Can tel ur not a real fan
"too much niceness"
He's spot on. There's no aggression anymore. The smoke and mirrors of Kayfabe are passe, and without the magic, the mystique is definitely truly lost
Stone Cold and Mick Foley on a podcast talked a little about this type of situation when they wrre wtrstlers. While they liked and respected each other, and their fellow wrestlers, once they walked out of the curtian they wanted to have the best match on the card. They wanted it to be difficult for the wrestlers in the next match or main event to have a better match. Their attitude was, "Lets see you guys try to top this. Y'all better work y'alls asses off to top my match." They knew there was only room for a small group at the top and they all wanted to be there. That type of competition was great for the company and the fans.
@@phildicks4721 that is so true! theres so much inconsistency now it's been unbearable for me to watch for years, theres no grit or desire from side matches its just follow the poorly done script dont step on anyones toes and get the show over with.
“Magicians don’t show you how to do their tricks.” Vince needs to listen to Taker more
This is the basis on which wrestling was founded. That's why they had Carny talk back in Undertakers day. The Biz has lost its mystique over time. Sad to say.
Could not agree more with this statement. So True. WWE needs to overhaul there story writing.
@@ShadowKing01 Or they need to put a cap on the social media stuff with certain superstars? Sign NDA's? Some superstars can get away with it but heels trying to gain heat don't really need to be on social media like that. Eve Torres pulled off her heel character on camera pretty well when she was still there.
@@ShadowKing01 its not about story lines in general its about the over exposure of the business and how they let anyone see the behind the scenes stuff and tell everyone we tell stories and basically killing kayfabe even more than before
Lmao. Taker listens to Vince. Vince is the one telling folks to stop focusing on the moves and more on the expression. That’s why all the old guys got what he meant. Taker, rock, stone cold knew this was a business, not a competition on who’s more creative in terms of moves.
Social Media isn’t just ruining wrestling, it’s ruining society
Lol social media is just a platform, it’s the people today that come on that platform and ruin it
Wrestling has ruined wrestling. They book it like nothing matters you don’t have to earn title shows in the calendar year or 2020 would you believe in just six Konrad that got a combined dozen that’s right as in 12 times the people holding titles have been booked like jokes and made to lose to challengers. Most of the time that’s to earn actual shots on the next apps! But wait not only did I just see the match for free but I already saw the champ lose? Where’s the appeal
No hook no long term or short term storylines
No larger then life characters
Look at guys like drew mcintyre who everyone lives he skewer even have a character a catchy theme or a catchphrase yet he’s supposed to be the chosen one? Don’t call jail. Scottish psychopath here because please....
Booking diesel ent care we see on social media them travelling together no one is worth paying tickets for m, it’s a big mess altogether!
mike carpio the platform is bigger than the people
The platform is the people
Wrestling and comedy have been the most affected with all this cancel culture and political correctness.
It use to be that the crazy nuts of society were left to write letters to the editor and call talk radio. Now they have social media where the crazier you are the more you are hashtagged and liked. Social media is the absolute worse thing to happen to society in the past hundred years.
You got UNDERTAKER on the show😳😳...this show was already great, but now it’s been taken to another level👏🏾👏🏾
Brooo u ever where how u know about the dead man undertaker lol the goat foreal
IngravenVids aew much better
*undertaken to another level 😉
Haha I get it taken. UnderTAKEr
“To a whole naffa levva”
Comment if you know what I’m talking about
You got The Undertaker on here? Damn Pat, you outdid yourself! Cheers 🍻
Amen!
Doesn’t he work for the WWE?
Ryan 👌🏼 aew much better
@@yoshichai4320 Yep. The legend of legends.
@@yoyobear3 no one asked
The best thing to ever come out of 2020 is seeing Undertaker speak out of character as himself and share all of his experiences from his long epic career. It truly has been a real breath fresh of air. Nothing but love and respect for this true legend of wrestling.
The podcast he did with Joe Rogan was really good as well. Loved hearing about how the Undertaker gimmick came to be and all the experiences he had in the WWE. I also like that he’s not afraid to talk about the current shortcomings of the WWE like some others might be.
Watches a 30 minute long match with no volume at all, so he can just appreciate wrestling. Legend
Seeing him in a normal environment after traumatizing my childhood is surreal
Awesome comment lol
I love how even Taker is like, "I watched the match with no volume" cause honestly who could stand their commentary booth lol
I think he watched it on mute bc of the cheesy piped in crowd noise
❤
He watched it without volume so he could see the match for what it was through his own eyes and not have his perception of the match altered by the reactions of the crowd and of the commentary team.
متي هذه المقابله
I do this when I re-watch a ufc fight and try to score it for myself. It helps with not getting influenced by commentary
Man. Taker spent 29 years staying in character, not giving shoot interviews. Ever. He sure has been making up for lost time lately! Dude is everywhere
Yes.i love it.a og in the lockerrom since forever..
Taker is just awesome no matter what. I'll die happy if I get to meet the guy
Thats because hes retiring and to promote his documentary
@@ruok3351 yes. Now we know
Undertaker is so good at being in character that I grew up watching him and this is the FIRST TIME I have ever heard him speak normally or look like a normal dude. True professional.
Ive met him once when i was 9 (he was eating at a resteraunt my friends family owned), i basically said hi and got super shy. But my mom talked to him for 20 minutes at the airport like 12 years ago. She didnt know who he was and noticed a bunch of people surrounding him, and she asked a random person who he was and they said the undertaker who she knew i was a HUGE fan of. She ended up at the same gate as him and he sat next to her, probably because he recognized that she didnt seem like an obnoxious fan. They apparently talked for a while about his kids and life, he was really nice to her. At the end he signed a paper for me and i still have it. I find it so cool because I used to live in NY and idolized him, so now that i live in the town he lives in, its really cool to have a couple run ins with him
Who?
@@loganwagler7997 undertaker
I haven't watched WWE in years but I'm surprised to see The Undertaker on here
With his career coming to a close he’s showing more
Taker is more or less retired so he is only now breaking character.
I think it’s because he has a series out right now of him and his last few years of wwe
feed and seed watch aew
Bray Wyatt does a nice job sticking to his character
And wwe just had to go and ruin him
Kinda I mean he acts normal outside and people would post pictures which is what taker is saying that luckily he never dealt with that
@@Trappertribbiani he isn't ruined. He's about to get the title back
He just posted a photo of Jojo, their new baby and himself...
Waindim Tufoin yeah after he lost it to Goldberg of all people🤢
"Everyone is so overexposed"
You can really hear how disappointed he is about it. I am too. Everyone turned into a snitch with their cameras n phones.
Cena was the last star WWE created and it was the same way it is now, it's the superstars that not drawing the people in they have no charisma
@@LeemWills You make a good point.
I want the show to be as good as Altitude and Ruthless Agression Era’s but today roster just lacks the edge and entertainment factors that they truly had back then that made them successful
Keyfabe is dying and we need to keep it alive
@@jc130dtl the company is focused on everyone being so athletic that the miss on charisma. There were plenty of greats that did not fit the physical mode of the ultimate warrior, but still brought a show. They have no Mick Foley's. They also don't have true heels anymore. I know Edge made a comeback but he is nothing like he was before.
Imagine Hogan fighting Slaughter and then tweeting about how he thought the first gulf war as a farce after
Kayfabe is dead my friend
Jesus Mendoza you mean Hollywood Nword Hogan?
@@Trappertribbiani Wraaslin is dead my friend. No Kayfabe No Money.
Noah Davies it’s not dead Vince just buried it alive
god i miss old wrestling so much i havent watched it in forever its changed so much
Mainly because Vince made it rated PG
Check out aew or new japan!
@@Trappertribbiani Key Word: Old Wrestling. AEW is just spot fests and kickouts.
Lil Tumblr nah you’re just used to watching the limited wwe style. Also I like how you didn’t mention new japan. Almost like you know it’s a better product🤔
@@Trappertribbiani I prefer AEW over current wwe but he's right good wrestling entertainment is about story telling and not flippy flip wrestlers that rely on spot fests or endless kickouts. Back then, a finisher held way more value and meant a 90% win rate unlike today.
Watching the range of discussions and A-list athletes that he got on his show, I just can’t get how one could hate on Pat
Im so grateful that he never really broke character until recently, it makes it all the more special now that he has hung his boots up
The Undertaker looks healthy!
yes, the "old guys" were always in character whenever you saw them. even if they were out at dinner inu Memphis
Feist77 I can Ina fine Undertaker just sitting there with the hat, gloves and coat just munching away at his meal
Pat is the Joe Rogan of sports podcasts
How exactly
Dont insult Pat like that
joe rogan sucks pat is great
Yet he still can't get the Monday night football job
But has Pat ever tried DMT?
What MJF is doing in AEW right now is amazing. He’s the same guy on twitter as he is in the ring. Same guy at meet and greets as he is doing promos.
The Miz too
He’s 100% spot on. The only guys that bring any interest to me is Drew McIntyre, Randy Orton, Bray Wyatt, and AJ Styles. Ever since Cena left no one has stepped up to the plate.
Blandy Blorton is interesting to you?
@@hecht0520 He is probably the best on the roster right now, that guy is on fire
CaptainNautious he’s got that it factor he’s just complacent he could be great if he wanted to
Fr fr and it sucks the storylines they be having now be trash
I agree, but now we have Matt Riddle who supposed to debut Tomorrow on Smackdown, down in NXT both titles are on the line where I believe both K.Lee & A.Cole will drop thier titles where Undisputed Era & K.Lee come to the main roster before Summer Slam because it's been 4 yrs since they debuted
My first time hearing The Real Undertaker talk wow
You should check out the documentary "Last Ride" get a real look st the guy
@@j.c-youlater3787 thank you so much I will ☺
Undertaker: “Magicians don’t show you how to do their tricks.”
ICON
"Sorry to interrupt you."
What a legend!
Undertaker will always be to me the greatest wrestler of all time!
Absolutely... Without A Shadow of a Doubt ‼️
Been loving the guests lately as you and Hawk have been giving us some great looks at a variety of different sports and professions. Found it interesting hearing The Undertaker's thoughts and feelings and I was never a huge WWE fan. Makes me see things differently from back then to now.
Charlotte Flair is the most over...I'm not so sure about that one.
most overrated to be exact.
He's a WWE shill, what else can you expect?
Please you lot will love Io today...didnt give a damn about her a year ago...but in a year time be saying she needs to let someone else get the light and be all in on someone else.
Most of you would have fing hated the attitude era as a whole year and sometimes more would only have the same 3 maybe 4 people at the top thats it. You lot would be crying cause Rock or HHH is burying all the talent, just being shoved down our throat, etc.. Cause what Charlotte is doing was common even back then.
Charlotte gets over exposed that’s her problem, but in my opinion she’s the best female wrestler in the ring and she carry’s herself the best and really believes in her gimmick
@@premiumdude8353 Shes the best female wrestler of all time.
Pat becoming a goat before our eyes
He is the goat
Facts
Its so great to see and hear the Undertaker/Taker/Mark. Whichever is the respectful name to call him talk about the things that I have always wanted to hear him speak about. He's such a legend in the business and the only reason I have even followed the WWE in several years. What a awesome character and the way he portrayed it was and is... a great testament to how he truly is the best in the business! Good interview Pat. Thanks for all the great content you provide all of us. You seem to be very knowledgable in the the wrestling world👍🏻
MJF over in AEW is about the only guy keeping his character protected all of the time.
Cool to get the insight from those who are on the inside of shows and all. to see them now able to just chill and relax after so many years is cool and chat about how things have changed so much. i use to watch wrestling but things have changed so much the feel of show not the same anymore. i know some or many still watch it but i can always catch anytime and just enjoy what is new and be shockd of any vets who come back after a time.
I loved undertakers submission finisher he brought to us. Hells gate was a amazing submission
I don't watch wrestling much anymore but there are certain wrestlers that bring back memories and nostalgia. I remember when the undertaker first walked out watching it with Grandpa. Those were the good days and thank you Taker for giving me those moments
You can tell Mark is having so much fun not having to be The Undertaker all the time.
Oh yeah, you can tell he loves being able to comment on and stay in the wrestling world without risking his health anymore
i like being able to see behind the curtain. for me, hearing guys talk about the real stuff when it comes to wrestling is more interesting than the content they have today.
Man I see Undertaker everywhere. I like it.
Let me make this simple for everyone: The current state of WWE does not allow wrestlers to be stars of THAT level anymore. Doesn't matter what you do; once you a hit a certain ceiling you will never be allowed pass it.
Becky Lynch was the most over performer since '14 Daniel Bryan and pinned Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania, paving the way for her to be the next John Cena; she spends the following PPVs wrestling midcard staple Natalya and newbie Lacey Evans.
Speaking of Daniel Bryan, after he became a legitimate ratings and merch draw after winning at WrestleMania 30, even though he lost the belt anyway because of injuries the plan was for him to drop the belt to Brock flippin' Lesnar at Summerslam that year.
Bray Wyatt comes in with the most intriguing gimmick in recent memory and becomes Universal champ; drops the belt to Goldberg, who was hot two decades ago.
I can go on and on but y'all get it. We can't blame the talent anymore when we've seen talent show the skills and charisma to become legitimate stars but are consistently failed by booking.
And then on the complete opposite end of the spectrum, you have Roman Reigns, who main-evented 4 WrestleManias in a row: it took Undertaker literally 20 years to main event that many. Hell, he's already main-evented more than Austin, Bret Hart, André, Savage, Angle and Lesnar, and they wonder why fans were sick of him being pushed?
It's like they don't understand how to push multiple guys at once. They must realise that the reason Austin reached such a pinnacle is because he had an incredible bunch of guys to work with. Without Bret Hart, Shawn, Undertaker, the Rock, Triple H, Kane, Foley, Big Show, Kurt Angle, Jericho, all trading the belts between each other and having awesome feuds and matches, WWE, and by extension Austin, simply never get over the way they did.
It’s all because of Stone Cold retiring early & The Rock going to Hollywood. Brock leaving in the early 2000s too didn’t help. Vince is scared that once starts get super big that there gonna leave for bigger opportunities.
Thank you. It's not the wrestlers it's the bookers placating to ideas they want to stick on. Instead of letting who are big be good and big are worried about whiny people who don't see positivity in being the best of the best.
@@alazkaalazka6087 correct and the abundance of misogyny in fear of pushing a woman over. I mean death treats rape jokes and stalking...yeah being "too nice" isnt the problem.
Charlotte is over as a tweaker (sometimes heel/sometimes face). No-one will EVER be like Taker and I am TRULY amazed he broke character to make the Last Ride series (which I've LOVED watching so far!!) Social Media has made it to where a Bray Wyatt or Aleister Black protecting their characters is almost impossible. I love Aleister Black, I truly hope he stays the course to become closest to Takers "mystice". He's a super nice guy, but you also know he's a little different, and at least live, he's as close to keeping his character as possible. I know that was alot to write, I hope I put it where it's understandable.
The Lana/Lashley/Rusev was NEVER going to work. I recently saw an old episode of Raw where it was LITERALLY the same being done as what they did in the restaurant "episode" where Rusev went crazy beating up Bobby and interrupting he and Lana's dinner (DAMN I wish I could remember who it was with the same exact thing!!).
They want so badly to give us a PG Attitude Era. Taker is a super classy and nice dude from what I can tell. He, HHH, Shawn Michaels (Hell ALL of DX) the Rock, Stone Cold, Mankind, etc...I know I'm missing a LOT of others-they all made alot of fans very happy and also told stories in a way I'm not sure can be recaptured EVER. It just happened to be the right group of people, at the right time, with the right fans, and given enough creative on their characters that made magic on screen. And us fans from the late 90's on, will never be able to thank him (and the others as well) for all they did for us! I wish more than anything that there was something now that we had to take our minds off of the world, if only just for a few hours a week.
P.S. Edge vs Orton was amazing. Going back to Mania this year, their "last man standing match" was brutal but incredible too! Taker vs. A.J. Styles was also gold.
I'm truly SHOCKED that Christian hasn't been inducted into the H.O.F. He deserves it.
Tweener lol unless she smokes meth all day lool
i love aleister black hes very entertaining in the ring, hes unique wish hed get a title opportunity
Hit the nail right on the head - everybody is over-exposed nowadays. Staying in character worked well back in the day, but I don't know that it would even be possible today. (Plus, I don't think anyone would want to not live on social media.)
I don’t know why they can’t have a private account for their close friends and family out of character and a public one for their on screen persona
*Undertaker: Everyone is too nice.*
*WWE: Mass firings due to rape allegations.*
There is what like 5 or 6 wwe superstars under the gun but I think only one is on the main roster and most are NXT and most in uk. And quite frankly if allegations are proven true, they should be gone. But mass firings? Even if all 5 or 6 are let go and even if more allegations come out, I would not call that mass firings but it definitely sheds a light on the industry as a whole that there is a problem within that industry of sexual abuse, harassment and mental and physical abuse as well
@@frankgradia5366 but what if these allegations are just scorn former lovers, some maybe true but i feel 90% of these are just blown over proportion or False to make the accused look worse and get fired.
Allegations shouldn't be treated as proof.
@@MonkeyDLuffy60073 i feel if a company fires you over allegations that are false they should pay you missed pay for that firing
Until someone turns around and sues their former employer and accuser this ain’t going to change
Love hearing the undertaker talk about wrestling get him signed to help the younger guys out!
I’m so glad I got the chance to watch the undertaker while growing up as a kid.
I was explaining a similar thought to what undertaker was conveying. I feel that if wwe pulled back on twitter eapcially and had wrestlwrs use their social media to enhance storylines the business would be better then where it is right now
everytimes undertaker appears on youtube , i just keep repeating the vdeo .. UNDERTAKER = GOAT OF GOATS
I think WWE is actually really underrated right now, people should stop comparing everyone to Taker because there is never going to be anyone like him and instead pay attention to the great young talents like McIntyre, Rollins, Styles, Riddle, just stop comparing it to the attitude era because times have changed and the business is just different. Seat down try to enjoy it and you’ll see it is good.
I think I remember hearing Big Show saying the same thing about the locker room being too nice on Steve Austin's podcast.
I think CM Punk was the closest to what Undertaker was talking about, until he went to the UFC anyway😂
Aj hawk asked a question he literally talked about/answered just before
Cte acting up
AJ lost during this interview
I think he’s saying that the current wrestlers don’t want to tread on their peers, they don’t want to steal the spotlight from their friends or outshine their friends. I might be mistaken of course, but the harsh truth is that to succeed at the level of a stone cold or a triple h or an undertaker, you have to sometimes look out for number one before anyone else, and take that role for yourself. Don’t give that opportunity to anyone else
100% Agree. No mystery anymore.
PM,HAWK,AND THE TAKER... someone get me on the phone with pat!!! You guys are the goats of youtube !
Wow Taker’s voice is completely different!!😳Amazing, how he gets transformed on the job.
One of the best to ever do it, thats all i need to comment really
he sounds nothing like how i imagined him to really good job here man bringing in one of my childhood favs
I like Taker. He seems like one of the most sincere people in the history of wrestling. Could see him doing action films and having an amazing second career. Truly a bad ass.
I completely agree with taker here. With all the social media and the death of kayfabe it's hard to get behind a character now. The fact we are talking about this like it's normal acting shows how far wrestling has gone in the minds of people from a sport to hollywood.
Pat got the Undertaker as a guest on a non-wrestling show/podcast.
Limitless
He literally hit the nail on the head. I hope WWE or someone important is listening to this🤦🏽♂️
Taker hit it right on the money as per usual.
Totally not related to the interview with Taker, But as an Australian, I am just curious on why have you blocked out the Aeroplane Brand Name on your Collingwood Jumper???
undertaker is absolutely right.....nowadays superstars do show themselves so different offscreen.....like i really kinda imagine that old school wwe was damn legit than todays wwe......MISS U TAKER FOREVER🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Pat has made watching Smackdown enjoyable again. If he’s not there, I turn the sound off and mostly fast forward. Miss the Undertaker!
Wow, Mark sounds like an ordinary cool dude.
I didn’t even think the undertaker was a real human being growing up as a kid, he played his character so amazing he’s truly the goat🖤🐐🐐🐐
a 10 year old me was devisted when I found out Kane and the Undertaker weren't really brothers.
Where’s the full interview
The Taker was awesome to watch. Miss seeing him wrestling.
One of the best that ever did it. The Great Muta was my favorite
EVERYTIME Taker/Marc Callaway talks, I listen!
Undertaker is absolutely right about today's wrestlers relying too much on social media. I get that it's a platform that can be effective for spreading information fast but it shouldn't be used to expose the person behind a character and let everyone know that it's all phony and a Shakespeare play. It's a lack of dedication and respect for your craft that a lot of these wrestlers have in today's wrestling. Almost everyone is "too human" and not enough "larger than life".
That's a dumb mentality of being stuck in the old ways.
Wow...Taker could not have said it any better or summed the problem with wrestling today..."a magician doesn't show you how the trick is done".
All the legends I grew up on are fading away. There never will be another era like the 90s w the Monday Night Wars and the Attitude Era, NWO... Miss those days for sure.
Hearing him talk while not on character is wild 😂😂😂😂 and with him wearing a normal shirt I would not think that was him lmao
Collingwood are playing on Saturday at 2:35 am for you and 4:35 PM in Melbourne
Undertaker is right as usual. Excellent analogy, what magician shows how he does his tricks? Even movies and shows and other forms of entertainment have forgotten how to make people curious and want to come back for their product. Another besides wrestling i can think of is Star Wars. No mystique, just action.
Wearing a Collingwood Magpies AFL jersey. What a trip
Have they went live again??
Wwe was one of the best things I remember about my childhood glad I got to grow up with that
Same 1999 2000 wwf great
What he said about Magicians never revealing their tricks because people would lose interest is 100% true. There’s no mystery anymore because everyone promotes themselves and not their character on social media. AEW however keep kayfabe to a degree.
Not only did you get Taker on the show you also did it while wearing Collingwoods gear. You are an absolute champion!!!!!
No mystery anymore, well put taker.
I love how taker got visibly pissed when the rusev, Lana and lashey angle was brought up 😂
I really enjoy listening to the undertaker talking
Taker will go down as an all-time kayfabe master. Took 30 years for most of the public to hear his real voice. Him not wanting to sell people out with a book shows why he was the locker room boss.
The Undertaker and heart Hart will always be the best for me.
I wish he would speak full-time in character because he did such an amazing job of selling that character for years. Even though he seems like an awesome guy out of character, I do really miss the badassness of the undertaker character
He’s done it for so many years. Let’s give him a break 😂
what was the match they were talking about with Orton?
LEGEND
Yeah man, nobody seems HUNGRY in WWE anymore, I feel that.
So true undertaker it really hard and u sir is legend
I wasn’t a big WWE fan but The Undertaker was always the coolest character to me, honestly because of the mystique around him. It sucks that a kid won’t be able to have that experience now
None of today’s wrestlers have the character commitment and development that the undertaker had
Thanks sir undertaker
Lifelong fan from India
Thanks for making our middle class childhood special ..
you were dead so many times , even the time kane dumped a truckload of sand on you ..
Mind blown. Taker did protect himself for so long but I never noticed how they did and still to this day. Like cena really had a rap career, was the new hulk hogan, and really volunteering. Stone cold is stone cold 15 years later. A lot of new acts be the opposite on social media
No way another person or character can carry out his/her role like Undertaker or Mr Mark Callaway!
And yes, he's just so very right, I belong to that attitude and pre-attitude era, and I can completely relate to the 'mystique' thing that he's saying, the characters and all the stories WWE presented to us, and the way these guys handled their characters during those times, that is what WWE is all about, that's the soul of this show!
Even during our times, we very well knew this is not real, and still got thrilled and extremely excited about this show!
But now this present lot of wrestlers and management, just don't care enough to keep that same mystery behind things, which is why this show has totally destroyed!
Honestly, how many of us, really care now, about wrestlemania or royal rumble or anything, but during my time, these events really mattered to us!
I am proud to belong to that beautiful era!
