The Undertaker sat down for an extremely rare and candid interview with pastor Ed Young of Fellowship Church from North Texas. In this 40 minute chat, Taker talks about his importance of his faith as well has how important for wrestlers today to keep a focus on character development over moves and skill set. Below are some quotes transcribed from Pro Wrestling Sheet:
“It’s not about the moves — it really isn’t — it’s being able to evoke emotion in one facet or another,” he said. “You have to either make people love you or you have to make people hate you.”
“A lot of times what happens with these young guys is they’re so athletic, they’re so gifted, they’ll do some kind of double crazy back flip off the top rope and land on somebody on the floor and then that’s what the audience takes away from it: ‘this guy does crazy stuff.’ Well, you can only see that so many times before you’re like ‘I’ve seen that. I need something new,’” he said. “And that’s the position they sometimes back themselves into. They have to keep upping the ante. And when you up the ante like that, then you increase your potential for injuries.”
“It’s all about love or hate, you know. There’s a lot of guys that it takes awhile to figure that part out and by the time they do they’re so beat up and injured and hurt.”
