The Undertaker Embracing New WWE Role
The Undertaker has been praised for embracing a new role as a coach in WWE.
The legendary WWE Hall of Famer is set to be part of an impressive cast of mentors in the upcoming reality series WWE LFG (Legends & Future Greats).
The show will premiere on A&E on 16th February and will see The Undertaker, Booker T, Mickie James and Bubba Ray Dudley coaching the next generation of WWE Superstars in the hope of finding the next big star for the company.
Speaking during a recent interview with Jon Alba, Booker T recently praised ‘The Deadman’ for his ability to adapt to the new role and shared his belief that the former WWE Champion was an ideal coach for future Superstars:
“He’s as real as he possibly could be in this role. He’s as serious as he is. He’s probably the most serious guy in this whole damn thing, man. He’s passionate about what he’s doing with his kids, which for me, is very, very unique to see, you know, Undertaker in this role.
To see him, his coaching style as well. Because, like I said, I’ve been doing it for 20 years. This is his first time actually in a coaching style setting a coaching role like this. How well will he actually do?
Because my thing is, I’m like, man, this guy can’t, I mean, come on, just because you know how to do it don’t mean you can coach it. So he’s doing a hell of a job, and people are going to get a chance to see the real Undertaker at his finest, you know, teaching the next generation, you know, of superstars.”
The Undertaker Reflects On Poorly Received Bout
Whilst The Undertaker has his sights set on creating new Superstars, he did take time recently to reflect on a big name WWE match that fans remember for all the wrong reasons.
The anticipation was high when The Undertaker squared off with fellow WWE Hall Of Famer Goldberg for the very first time at WWE Super ShowDown on 7th June 2019.
Things did not go to plan, however, at the huge event in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia with a concussion suffered by Goldberg early in the bout just the first of a number of big issues with the match.
