WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker recently shared high praise for Omos on his Six Feet Under podcast, emphasizing the unique potential he sees in the towering superstar and advocating for careful handling of his character.
“You can’t not love that guy. He’s such a good guy, and you like to see people like that succeed. I hope they find something good for him. Yeah (he needs to have a big guy with him), there’s nothing else that makes sense. There’s just nobody on the roster that makes sense. I don’t care how over or what you are. If you sacrifice that, I just don’t… you can’t do it. You have to be so judicious in how you handle him, and there’s not many people I don’t think that he shouldn’t just squash.”
The Undertaker compared Omos to Andre the Giant, noting his size and presence make him a special attraction. He stated that Omos doesn’t need a championship to stand out and suggested that Omos should rarely lose in the ring:
“He is a modern-day Andre. He has the intellect, and obviously he’s good on the mic, talking. I think it’s just having people that pose any kind of challenge to him at all. He’s so much bigger than everybody. You got Braun Strowman out there, you got Bronson Reed. I could see a Gunther working with Omos, but having to really scrap from underneath.
Someone like Omos doesn’t need to ever be pinned. There’s always an out somewhere, but he doesn’t get pinned. There’s nothing in almost any scenario that makes sense. I don’t care what comic book fantasy world that you live in. He doesn’t need a belt. He is a walking, breathing, living attraction. I could see him coming in as a heel, and then something happening and him just being an ultra, mega, worldwide babyface.”
The Undertaker also highlighted Omos’ potential as a global ambassador for WWE, comparing him to Andre the Giant and Mark Henry for his charisma and ability to connect with fans:
“He doesn’t have to work every week. That’s the thing. He doesn’t have to work on TV every week. What he can do and is willing to do, because he loves the industry and loves everything that comes with that, as an active competitor, he could be a global ambassador for the sport.
Andre was the face of wrestling long before the Hogans and anybody else came along. You can’t think of a better person, if you want somebody to go out and represent your brand around the world, somebody 7-foot-4, 400-pound, intelligent human being with tons of personality.
He’s like Mark Henry in a sense. Mark will scare you to death looking at him, if Mark’s got a scowl on his face. But as soon as Mark smiles, you feel like he’s a big teddy bear.”
This isn’t the first time The Undertaker has spoken highly of Omos. Similarly, Bobby Lashley has called for WWE to use Omos more frequently, saying his talent and potential can’t be wasted.
MVP also said that Omos is actually good in the ring and can move fast, but WWE didn’t allow him to do that.
