1. Undertaker Reacts To Fans Saying Their Childhood Died When He Joined Social Media
During a recent edition of Busted Open Radio, The Undertaker talked about joining Social Media and the fans being shocked by his decision.
Below is what The Phenom said:
“When we first started doing [The Last Ride docuseries], the camera crews would be there backstage and I would turn around and I would see them and would snap like, ‘What the hell are you guys doing? Why are you filming me?’ and then it would dawn on me, ‘Oh yeah, I told you guys to’.
It took me a little bit to get used to and honestly, it did not come natural to me, because I have tried my hardest to protect kayfabe and all those things. Honestly, this was in the last couple years. I mean, I would cringe when I would hear people, like we’re doing now, talking openly about behind the scenes stuff. I would grit my teeth. I just really enjoyed that era. The bond that we all had, there’s still a bond there, it just doesn’t seem to run as deep as it used to. The honor among thieves mentality.
I think I was the real last hold out to kayfabe and it’s funny. I was probably the last guy to social media too. I remember I posted something, I don’t even remember what it was. I normally don’t do this, I don’t normally look at comments, but I was kind of scrolling through and there was a comment that said, ‘My childhood is dead. The Undertaker is now on social media. It’s all over.’ I’m thinking to myself, ‘You’re right, I’m sorry man!’
That’s my instincts, and it took a while to work through that.”
