It’s no secret that there are a lot of things about modern wrestling that The Undertaker is not exactly a fan of.
The Undertaker recently appeared on Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson, where he discussed the rise of social media in wrestling.
Taker said that he believes the rise of social media led to fans being more concerned with what’s happening behind the scenes that what’s going on in the ring.
He said:
“Our fan base in general, they’re more concerned now with what’s happening behind the scenes and not so much what’s going on in the ring.
“They want the dirt. It’s like anything else in our society. It’s all social media driven. Everybody puts their life out there.”
He also spoke about wrestlers on social media, and how he believes wrestlers being completely different on social media is a ‘huge disconnect’ for the show.
He said:
“For me, it’s kind of a huge disconnect, but it is what it is and that’s where we’re at. I don’t necessarily like it, but there’s nothing I can do about it. It’s just the way it is. It really makes things harder to have good storylines and have people invested.”
The Undertaker was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2022, with him recently making a cameo appearance on the Raw 30 show.
