The Undertaker recently spoke to fans in India, live for the first time ever in a digital event put together by Sony Sports India. The event was also a part of Taker’s 30th anniversary and “Final Farewell” at WWE Survivor Series.
While speaking with Rana Duggubati, The Phenome opened up about playing this iconic character for three decades. Taker noted how he liked the character when WWE Chairman & CEO Vince McMahon presented it to him.
“Almost immediately when it was presented that to me by Vince, he basically showed me The Undertaker, he gave me the name, and then he showed me the storyboard and drawings of the character,” Taker recalled. “And immediately I was mesmerized, this is so different from what anybody has been doing just from visuals not even getting into the characteristics of it. And then, he kind of gave me what The Undertaker is about, what he thought the Undertaker was. I liked it. I liked it a lot and as it started to develop the character more and more, I became that guy.” (Courtesy Vipin Raghuwanshi of ITN Wrestling)
