Big E Talks About Escape The Undertaker
But the review of the movie has been quite poor so far. Right now it is receiving below 4.5 average on IMDb. Such a week rating just after a number of days prior to its release is definitely not a very good outcome. But there are a lot of new things to explore in this movie. The first and the most important thing is, this is the first time WWE is making a movie in which stars are performing on their real WWE gimmick, which is quite a fun fact
This is not the first time WWE made a horror movie. Their first and the most famous horror movie was See No Evil starring WWE Hall of Famer Kane. The movie was a big hit even though it critically failed. WWE attempted to make a second part of this movie name the See no Evil 2, but this movie could not succeed like its predecessor. The movie was a Friday the 13th style psycho killer movie. You can watch Escape the Undertaker exclusively on Netflix.
Big E who is also a former two times WWE Intercontinental Champion recently spoke to Busted Open where he talked about his latest interactive movie Escape The Undertaker which released on Netflix just on October 5th.
“One of the things that I’ve been able to do this last year or so is my weight has really come down. I dipped into the 240’s yesterday. I was like 248 after a workout. I’ve typically been about 250-255. For the longest time, I was about 305-310, way heavier than I needed to be. I think losing weight, being better with my diet, and adding more cardio days has been important to me.
“When you’re in this position as WWE Champion, you can’t be a big guy who only has 10 minutes in you and you’re barely getting through matches. I felt the difference with those lifestyle changes. Also, just having that last year or so to get my feet wet as a singles alone and doing the I.C. stuff really helped me with my conditioning.
“It’s fun. I grew up on those ‘choose your own adventure style books’. Those were so cool as a kid. I love those. This is in a very similar vein. You, as a member of the Netflix audience, get an opportunity to select which direction the three of us go in when we are in Undertaker’s creepy mansion. It’s fun, light, but kind of scary at times. It has that horror element of course because it’s Undertaker and Halloween is right around the corner.”
