• NXT Star Says He’s Not Comfortable In Being Compared To The Undertaker
During a recent appearance on Lilian Garcia’s Chasing Glory podcast, former NXT Champion Aleister Black talked about fans comparing him to The Undertaker.
Below is what Black said:
“I understand why people would think that because there’s a certain element of me that has maybe a dark side but there’s only one Undertaker and I could never, never fill that void. There’s only one Aleister Black and I’m the first one. There’s no one, never going to be a second one.
The legacy that The Undertaker has made is — I don’t even know how to put it into words. Like he changed the landscape. Is Undertaker indirectly responsible for Aleister Black?
Sure, because he’s opened the door for darker characters. He was the first one to really take it to that level and allowed an audience to see something that wasn’t so clean and cut.
I would not say that I am the modern-day version of at one point day and time in WWE of The Undertaker, I am not. I also would not feel comfortable saying that. Darkness is darkness by definition but darkness can be interpreted in many ways.
So he was definitely one that opened that door and showed the entire world something different.”
