The Undertaker Reveals How Social Media Could Have Impacted His Character In 1990s

The Undertaker is one of the most respected Superstars in WWE history. He retired from in-ring competition at WWE Survivor Series 2020. However, he has appeared in the media regularly. In the interviews he has participated, The Deadman has disclosed some lesser-known stories about his career.

Recently, the Phenom revealed how he changed the result of a match and allowed The Rock to beat him on a RAW episode. In the same chat with Kevin Hart, the Undertaker described how social media could have made it tougher for him to maintain his character in the 1990s.

Fans catch up with the WWE Superstars off-screen these days. They obviously are not in character. Hence, when the fans post selfies with the stars on social media, the kayfabe no longer exists. For a character like The Undertaker, the mystery was the main thing. Had fans posted photos with him back then, the character may not have been so impactful.

“It would have been very difficult for me to do things the way that I did them with social media along the whole way. You can’t walk out on the street without somebody taking a picture and posting it,” The Undertaker said.
