@Versatile Wolf yeah. I stole it. Everyone steals comments. Nobody cares. And being triggered by someone because of the opinions they have about something shows that a lot of these wrestlers can’t take criticism. It doesn’t really matter if Taker was right or wrong, they need to at least listen to him, take it to heart, and determine whether or not he has a point and get better.
@Versatile Wolf of course a things change but that’s not really his main criticism. He thinks wrestlers nowadays aren’t tough and that they are only there to make money and look good without actually taking it seriously. I’m not really saying that he’s right or wrong, but that a lot of the wrestlers who are mad at him for speaking his mind are showing how soft they are, pretty much showing he has a point. And besides, there are multiple ways to bring back some essence of the AA era or RA era without doing stupid shit like chair shots to the head or swearing or objectifying women. But it doesn’t matter whether or not the fans believe he’s right or wrong, because that’s up for the wrestlers to decide, because his criticisms are towards them.
Here's the thing I do not get. Why are so many people upset by this? Wrestlers, Fans, etc... He wasn't trying to be a **** or anything. He meant it in a way like when parents say things like when I was your age or things were different then or back in my day. Like the rest of us, he heard those same things as he was moving forward in his days from the old timers. The biggest problem is social media gives everyone a platform and sadly too many people choose to cry on it or people make way too big of a deal out of things.
Taker have his full rights to have his own opinion and so Roman Reigns,but saying taker is a retired wrestler sounding like a gangsta is laughable. I agree with Taker. Him taking about wrestler carrying guns and knives in past doesn't mean he literally mean todays wrestler should do the same,but less clean cut. As taker says it doesn't matter how athletic you and how great moves if they don't have any purpose and a meaning .Just saying 🙂
Guarantee he wouldnt run his mouth to prime mark callaway. Or better yet to his face period. Taker might be old now but its a well.known fact taker was a badass in his prime and not one to fuck with.
I think Roman has a lot of meaning he gives his all to his sport n upholds the traditions of family n any time av heard Roman talk about older wrestlers Romans been appreciative of their talent and very respectful. I think he doing a great job and is a brilliant ambassador for his sport!
I don’t think Taker wasn’t referring to the current crop of Superstars. I think he was referring to the PG product as a whole. There was an edginess to the former product and storylines that isn’t there anymore
I like Roman, believe me, I like the dude from the days he was a member of The Shield to this current day Tribal Chief gimmick, but he cannot top Taker and Taker was 100% right. Roman ain't soft and there are few wrestlers who aren't, but most of them are soft. Taker proved his point.
Taker even said in the podcast that some guys have that edge to then and when he said that I think he was referring to owens, orton and reigns. They're are the only ones that would survive in the attitude era if they went back
One of many problems with WWE. No one protects their finisher. People kick out of finishers all the time and it burys the business. Wrestling psychology in WWE is virtually non existent
End of days I'm pretty sure is the only finisher where it's actually finished almost every match it's been used in. Last I checked no one has kicked out of it.
They know what the undertaker was saying and that the company is not only soft but the men's wrestler in the wwe company is soft because they're not hanging around people's with knifes and guns in the locker instead these wrestlers are playing video games and because they are not ugly , he thinks that they're not men's.
@@beckyburton9749 I mean you don’t have to be around guns or knives to know some of the current superstars are just soft noticed I said some.

@@kyla7783 that’s not what he said unlike you and Roman reigns I watched the podcast with the undertaker and Joe Rogan . Not because I’m some undertaker fan boy like you are a Roman fan boy but because I’ve seen many a many of Joe Rogans podcast. I’ve kept up with wrestling since the 90s and it has got soft and almost unwatchable which is why the ratings have sunk as low as they have . All time lows . So take your fan boy shit somewhere else . The undertaker never said none of the male wrestlers weren’t real men . Gtfo
Taker is right but he forgot about one important thing. Back in the day all wrestling shows worked under the story line that everything was real. Some wrestlers would assault people for saying it was fake so of course those guys had to be tougher just to keep up the act. That's probably why they cut themselves all the time during matches. They would take a punch then cut their forehead with a blade. Dusty Rhodes had a bunch of scar tissue on his forehead from that crap. Today everybody understands it's scripted so they don't have to go too overboard on the violence. Make no mistake though, it's still dangerous in there even though it's scripted.
..I like how a bunch of you who weren't even old enough to remember the attitude era, like to talk about the attitude era. I am 38 and I just about understood it at the time. Roman would have been just where Edge was at the time, bearly a mid-carder.
Don't even like much of the new stuff but Reigns is a legit superstar. Booed him for years like everyone else but he is now THE GUY. No one else is really a star...
Yeah and even when we booed him, he was still one of the best there I was just annoyed he was being misused, he was still top 5 even when I was booing him, now he’s legit the only good guy now tho which is pretty shit, hopefully Cena coming back can incite a great rivalry, fingers crossed
It’s interesting because in today’s day and age of constant exposure and social media, it’s tough to create these larger than life superstars given how much larger than life content we consume on a day to day basis.
Lol this dude wouldn't even be a jobber in the attitude era. Heck he wouldn't even make it in the ruthless aggression era...even the rock tried to save your face and failed
He would do great in the Ruthless Aggression era, you’re just upset he said something about the “perfect” attitude era. Dude didn’t even criticise it the way you thought he did. Stop being so sensitive
WWE is soft, which makes a lot of the wrestlers soft, but Roman ain’t one of them, it’s like saying Randy Orton wouldn’t make it back then just because now he’s in PG era and it’s boring, like the storylines aren’t really their faults
So because today’s superstars aren’t drug addicts, woman abusers, alcoholics, and killing themselves in the ring they’re soft???? I love taker never to be replaced but even undertaker on his docu-series said he is half the human he was before wrestling nearly every part of his body is surgically repaired so of course he’d think that
Roman has been golden as of late with his current heel turn no denying it one of the best parts about smackdown but making a statement such as saying: A retired wrestling pretending to be gangsta is just asinine at best. Undertaker is a real og and he knows exactly what he meant/ talking about. He does not have to re word his point. Todays wrestlers/ product are soft. Everything is cookie cutter with the exception of a few who stand out and alot that don't. Back then stars were not afraid to step to vince if they felt a way now everybody walks on eggshells scared of the man. Back then they were men. The characters were believable back then due to them being able to improvise and introduce about 89 percent of their real selves into their characters example= Austin and American Badass Taker was just them being who they are while amped to a hundred. Men had manliness about them in a way where you thought most of them would destroy you if you disrespected them in anykind of way as apposed to now where you don't take nobody seriously because you just don't. Taker told the truth. He doesn't exactly want stars to drink at bars and get into fights what he meant was stars needs to stop acting like a wrestler and be the wrestler. Don't be afraid to pitch ideas no matter if you get turned down or not, Don't get punked out, and don't kiss ass. Yet Roman who is good at the moment but has not even had to go through the countless injuries or wars that taker has had yet he wants to talk on how gangster taker is??? Nope it just doesn't work like that. If Roman last for 15 more years then he can talk but right now he has to continue to do even more than what he's doing yes he had some great matches but he has to do more and last longer. I glad he beat leukemia cause wish that on nobody but point is yes overall in this explanation of takers point is that todays product and wrestlers are soft.
Here's where Reigns went wrong. He mentioned TSA that's the whole point. It's easier for wrestlers now who can fly everywhere at anytime cause they are paid better and more planes etc.. back in takers day and before they did nothing but drove. And usually 4 to a car sometimes 5
Wrestling Back When I Was A King In 81-91 Look Real I Couldn’t Get Enough Of It Hell Even In My Early Teen Years 93-98 Was Great I Also Love 2000-20013 After That Thing Started Getting Soft To Me Taker Is Right Tho
Kind of sounds stupid hearing a wrestler calling the industry he works for soft and thinking it's different today as it was when he was a wrestler that set all of his wins up
i was born in 2002 and grew up watching WWE from 2008-2016. I didn't't even grow up during the attitude era but I've seen lots of clips and matches from it and i can say that the attitude era was way more edgier not as kid friendly. Then i turned on WWE the other week seen what it's like today and its way more kid friendly even since 2008-2016 era.
If video games can saves wrestlers life from trouble I’m all for it...Back then wrestlers didn’t have that escape of playing video games in locker room instead they coke up on drugs/steroids that lead to death
Roman Reigns is trying so hard to make a Name for himself and he will keep on providing for his FAMILY and his FATHER Saika he will be a good grandfather for Roman Reigns Kids
@@YxngFresco Theres no competitive edge anymore. Nobody striving to be the top guy no matter what. Everybody is best buds backstage and just happy to be told what to say and what to do. Drew & Seth are shining examples of this. They are company yes men. Unfortunately for them the audience see through it and that's why the ratings are so bad.
They bang on about how "WWE may seem soft due to the PG era." But it's not just that, it's nothing but a circus now days. Undertaker is right when he said they just try to make themselves look "pretty". The acting over the past several years as been atrocious as well. Back in the Attitude era & Ruthless Aggression era, you had wrestling strikes and maneuvers that were more fierce and hard-hitting. (Not talking about weapons either) The reality is, most of the current roster would be nothing more than low to mid-carders or wouldn't even make it back in the day. The current generation don't know wrestling & are becoming easily offended. They're a bunch of circus clowns, nothing more, nothing less.
Some of them would have been low class jobbers. They don't stand a chance at all to guys like Stone cold Steve Austin and the Rock or Kurt Angle from 2002 who was way better and would destroy more that 80% of the current wwe roster we have today. 1999-2002 Triple h. would have buried Roman Reigns and the entire wwe roster in the attitude era and even ruthless aggression era hhh. Today's roster are a bunch of clowns who spend their Time of playing video games and. looking pretty if they were there they would have been buried by Stone cold Steve Austin or Triple H really badly.
@@AM-bv8iu actually It’s more likely he would be pushed like stone cold Steve austin That’s how he was pushed as a face. Jon moxley, more specifically dean ambrose, would be pushed like mankind. Braun would be pushed like, well, big show. And wwe back then was an unsafe slaughter house. Stars today aren’t softer, they’re smarter
@@littlemacisunderrated412 maybe yes I agree but not as much as stone cold and the rock as they were pushed more than anybody but he would be like triple h or mankind so yeah.
@@littlemacisunderrated412 but you must realize that hhh and Shawn Michaels were backstage bullies back then and used to bully the rock,mark henry and Vader so yeah and hbk always got what he wanted to stay on top of the division.
@@MiketheNerdRanger Nope wrestlers need to make chicken salad out of chicken shit, the rock really made “roody poo” get over, jericho really made “the list” get over, all these charatcer back in the day made corny shit get over. Meaning this generation cant draw a lick with whatever they got. Look how corny hogan and ultimate warriors gimmicks are BUT they made that shit get over. These days nothing.
@DarkMage 921 not as soft as WWE where they even censor fucking chair shots to the head from old matches. Then there’s the lack of blood, everything being too scripted. I can go on and on.
@DarkMage 921 See this is how I know I’m talking to someone who probably hates AEW but sees no wrong in WWE. I never said AEW isn’t scripted, I said WWE is “too scripted.” Of course it’s scripted dumbass but in WWE it’s to the point where it’s predictable and takes the sense of “real ness that existed in the past. Plus I’m not sure if you’re even old enough to remember all the shit WWE had done regarding medical attention and such in the past to even bring that up.
@DarkMage 921 Um WWE uses fake blood too so wtf are you talking about? Plus AEW at times “blade” themselves although WWE seems like they don’t even do that anymore. The fact that I even have to bring all this shit up let’s me know how informed you are.
@@DGS_1992 I agree but also I think there’s a handful of guys who u can see are great and would be able to hang back then with the OGs if they had the right storyline, the wrestlers are only seen as weak because they are now on a pg show, u can see with a good story and when guys can say what they want, guys like Rollins, Reigns and Orton are very good
Look at the wwe universe Mostly kids support the brand Of course it's going to be soft Let's take away the kids, put grown man in those seats and watch the attitude Era make its way slowly back Beer sells will skyrocket Food sky rocket Have like a cigarette(smoke stand) Or whatnot Good for business Tripple H
If Brock Lesnar played video games, Undertaker wouldn't care, because Lesnar always delivers. The point is that sometimes it feels like that's all current superstars do nowadays, because they don't hone their craft, ratings keep dropping, and they keep having to bring back old-timers to boost them. Video games are probably a bad scapegoat. Undertaker probably plays them with his wife and daughter. Undertaker's point is that they don't hone their craft as intensely as him, but sadly all they hear from him are video games, guns and knives.
Roman is good and the head of the dressing room so I just think he has to defend his co stars, also Roman is in the handful of guys Taker said had something I think anyways so I think Romans more defending the rest of the locker room compared to himself
he speakin all facts undertaker is very knowledgeable great guy hella respect for the business nobody does it like the dead man and goldberg is jus goldberg who cares lol and i agree alot of the new dudes are lowkey soft js but i will say roman rn is very much so on his game held the title for a great amount of time💯 roman can hang wit the best thats how well his athleticism has gotten
Undertaker was right though not just the wrestlers but the WWE in general is soft today it’s definitely lost it’s edge it’s not the same as it use to be and not near as great.
7 talk show's with a tag team champion with kno tag division but there worried about having talk show's tf why not make triple tag team champion what a 3 hour show bring back the new day and make some triple tag teams tf are some regular because honesty i only watch raw for olmos and aj styles after i know it's going to be another talk show only thing stoping wwe rite is raw&sdl has no tag division a wrestling company needs a tag division no matter what without it it's going to suck
There were stars, by their own admission, that carried guns and knives. I saw an interview with Kamala where he talked about carrying a knife then a gun because he was afraid Andre was going to beat him to death. I saw an interview with Stevie Ray from Harlem Heat in the locker room carrying a gun and it was for protection too. I don't put a lot of faith in rumors but when it's the actual people admitting to it it's hard not to believe. I think each wrestler has to look inside themselves and determine if they are soft or not. By that I mean would they have been successful in the 70's, 80's, or 90's? Would they have shined during the attitude era? I think the reason Taker calls them soft is maybe they should put more work into developing their characters or work harder to improve their move sets instead of playing video games.
God man these guys need to stop being defensive and realize there a certain part of the wwe thats soft compared to back in the day and work on it .. instead of saying "hey we're not soft, I do this this this and this" figure out what does he mean...this is taker saying it not sum jackass fan like myself that says it on message boards every day..so there has to be a lil Truth..
Maybe he shouldn't say what he doesn't mean. It would do him well to clarify. How would feel if you were busting your ass day in and day out, *regardless* of how it looked, only for someone to come along and crap all over it?
Taker has every right to his opinion but someone else has every right to disagree. They don’t have to agree bc it’s taker. He more than anyone should understand the power lies in Vince’s hand, not any ons wrestler.
Just watched cuz it's Roman. But, I guarantee a Rock vs. Reigns match in the next 3 years. It'd his cousin, and there's only so many years left for Rock to do what's right for business
Well 1st not all Romans and others fault ...every payperview was unique with its own stage props set up and gimmick the papyperviews all had they're own identity...smackdown and the fist the elemination chamber mateces where bloody hell in a cell mactches bloody high impact with its own hype ..wwe creative could step it up ....EACH MATXH HAD ITS OWN THEME..the music matched it felt like a spectacle

Not because I’m some undertaker fan boy like you are a Roman fan boy but because I’ve seen many a many of Joe Rogans podcast. I’ve kept up with wrestling since the 90s and it has got soft and almost unwatchable which is why the ratings have sunk as low as they have . All time lows . So take your fan boy shit somewhere else . The undertaker never said none of the male wrestlers weren’t real men . Gtfo
@@SilverWolf442 you obviously didn’t watch or listen to the podcast either . Another fan boy coming to defend Roman reigns for no reason 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Taker is right but he forgot about one important thing. Back in the day all wrestling shows worked under the story line that everything was real. Some wrestlers would assault people for saying it was fake so of course those guys had to be tougher just to keep up the act. That's probably why they cut themselves all the time during matches. They would take a punch then cut their forehead with a blade. Dusty Rhodes had a bunch of scar tissue on his forehead from that crap. Today everybody understands it's scripted so they don't have to go too overboard on the violence. Make no mistake though, it's still dangerous in there even though it's scripted.
I think Roman reigns would fit perfectly in attitude era because u can actually take him serious not somebody like Adam Cole
Thts what ive been saying same with owens and orton
@@adrian_lmx1840 Owens I don’t know possible but to me he doesn’t look like a tough guy but he could a underdog
@@tristanmireles8994 i think he's got that extreme factor. Hes always had it and hes a good heel too
@@adrian_lmx1840 Owens sort of remind me of Tommy Dreamer. With his fight Owen's fight mentality.
..I like how a bunch of you who weren't even old enough to remember the attitude era, like to talk about the attitude era. I am 38 and I just about understood it at the time. Roman would have been just where Edge was at the time, bearly a mid-carder.
Don't even like much of the new stuff but Reigns is a legit superstar. Booed him for years like everyone else but he is now THE GUY. No one else is really a star...
Yeah and even when we booed him, he was still one of the best there I was just annoyed he was being misused, he was still top 5 even when I was booing him, now he’s legit the only good guy now tho which is pretty shit, hopefully Cena coming back can incite a great rivalry, fingers crossed
Reigns psychopathic character fits perfectly with the outside persona. Most psychopaths are likable and can manipulate
He's absolutely Right ☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽
Roman reigns is the head of the table
We like that kind of interviews with superstar Roman Reigns, Thanks
It’s interesting because in today’s day and age of constant exposure and social media, it’s tough to create these larger than life superstars given how much larger than life content we consume on a day to day basis.
Great interview , thnx for sharing
WWE Roman Reigns & Mikey Friday SmackDown 2021
Lol this dude wouldn't even be a jobber in the attitude era. Heck he wouldn't even make it in the ruthless aggression era...even the rock tried to save your face and failed
He would do great in the Ruthless Aggression era, you’re just upset he said something about the “perfect” attitude era. Dude didn’t even criticise it the way you thought he did. Stop being so sensitive
@@adee_3199 hah, you're the one being sensitive because I called out your boi
@@the_batmobile0.4 no you’re just a little crybaby that someone didn’t kiss up to the attitude eta
WWE is soft, which makes a lot of the wrestlers soft, but Roman ain’t one of them, it’s like saying Randy Orton wouldn’t make it back then just because now he’s in PG era and it’s boring, like the storylines aren’t really their faults
Taker was apart of the new generation era the attitude era the ruthless aggression era and pg era so he knows wrestling is dead nowadays
Roman should get a reality show
They've offered him one he said no.
@@crisvanfanAs he should
So because today’s superstars aren’t drug addicts, woman abusers, alcoholics, and killing themselves in the ring they’re soft???? I love taker never to be replaced but even undertaker on his docu-series said he is half the human he was before wrestling nearly every part of his body is surgically repaired so of course he’d think that
Roman has been golden as of late with his current heel turn no denying it one of the best parts about smackdown but making a statement such as saying: A retired wrestling pretending to be gangsta is just asinine at best. Undertaker is a real og and he knows exactly what he meant/ talking about. He does not have to re word his point. Todays wrestlers/ product are soft. Everything is cookie cutter with the exception of a few who stand out and alot that don't. Back then stars were not afraid to step to vince if they felt a way now everybody walks on eggshells scared of the man. Back then they were men. The characters were believable back then due to them being able to improvise and introduce about 89 percent of their real selves into their characters example= Austin and American Badass Taker was just them being who they are while amped to a hundred. Men had manliness about them in a way where you thought most of them would destroy you if you disrespected them in anykind of way as apposed to now where you don't take nobody seriously because you just don't. Taker told the truth. He doesn't exactly want stars to drink at bars and get into fights what he meant was stars needs to stop acting like a wrestler and be the wrestler. Don't be afraid to pitch ideas no matter if you get turned down or not, Don't get punked out, and don't kiss ass. Yet Roman who is good at the moment but has not even had to go through the countless injuries or wars that taker has had yet he wants to talk on how gangster taker is??? Nope it just doesn't work like that. If Roman last for 15 more years then he can talk but right now he has to continue to do even more than what he's doing yes he had some great matches but he has to do more and last longer. I glad he beat leukemia cause wish that on nobody but point is yes overall in this explanation of takers point is that todays product and wrestlers are soft.
Roman you are my tribal chief now and forever
bruh he never said wwe superstars became soft
he said the product became soft
media people starting shit for no reason
Memby when Undertaker threw Mick Foley off a 20 foot cage. Pepperidge Farm remembies...
So cool he gave his wife a shout of her motherhood care
Here's where Reigns went wrong. He mentioned TSA that's the whole point. It's easier for wrestlers now who can fly everywhere at anytime cause they are paid better and more planes etc.. back in takers day and before they did nothing but drove. And usually 4 to a car sometimes 5
Times change old guys are just too old

Kind of sounds stupid hearing a wrestler calling the industry he works for soft and thinking it's different today as it was when he was a wrestler that set all of his wins up
Biggest star ROFL this guy gets booed even and Make A wish foundation commercials
Roman is 💕.. Lot's of love and respect from 🇵🇰.
i was born in 2002 and grew up watching WWE from 2008-2016. I didn't't even grow up during the attitude era but I've seen lots of clips and matches from it and i can say that the attitude era was way more edgier not as kid friendly. Then i turned on WWE the other week seen what it's like today and its way more kid friendly even since 2008-2016 era.
Roman Reigns is my crush❤& he inspiring me a lot...much love & respect for Joe/Roman😘
Sus
@@legm3481 sus but we all love Roman
@@theniceboi5130 no
Truth Hurts and today’s wrestlers can’t handle it it’s not just taker they can’t handle a veteran criticizing them ...
Like when Jim Ross got heat for criticizing are wrestlers
If video games can saves wrestlers life from trouble I’m all for it...Back then wrestlers didn’t have that escape of playing video games in locker room instead they coke up on drugs/steroids that lead to death
Roman Reigns is trying so hard to make a Name for himself and he will keep on providing for his FAMILY and his FATHER Saika he will be a good grandfather for Roman Reigns Kids
from what i see, there was no shade thrown at taker. he just respectfully disagreed
It is soft
Why?
@@YxngFresco Theres no competitive edge anymore. Nobody striving to be the top guy no matter what. Everybody is best buds backstage and just happy to be told what to say and what to do. Drew & Seth are shining examples of this. They are company yes men. Unfortunately for them the audience see through it and that's why the ratings are so bad.
They bang on about how "WWE may seem soft due to the PG era." But it's not just that, it's nothing but a circus now days. Undertaker is right when he said they just try to make themselves look "pretty". The acting over the past several years as been atrocious as well.
Back in the Attitude era & Ruthless Aggression era, you had wrestling strikes and maneuvers that were more fierce and hard-hitting. (Not talking about weapons either) The reality is, most of the current roster would be nothing more than low to mid-carders or wouldn't even make it back in the day.
The current generation don't know wrestling & are becoming easily offended. They're a bunch of circus clowns, nothing more, nothing less.
Some of them would have been low class jobbers. They don't stand a chance at all to guys like Stone cold Steve Austin and the Rock or Kurt Angle from 2002 who was way better and would destroy more that 80% of the current wwe roster we have today. 1999-2002 Triple h. would have buried Roman Reigns and the entire wwe roster in the attitude era and even ruthless aggression era hhh. Today's roster are a bunch of clowns who spend their Time of playing video games and. looking pretty if they were there they would have been buried by Stone cold Steve Austin or Triple H really badly.
@@pisto30 yeah but back then if roman was in the attitude era in like 1998-2001 he would have been buried by hhh,the rock or stone cold.
@@AM-bv8iu actually
It’s more likely he would be pushed like stone cold Steve austin
That’s how he was pushed as a face. Jon moxley, more specifically dean ambrose, would be pushed like mankind.
Braun would be pushed like, well, big show.
And wwe back then was an unsafe slaughter house. Stars today aren’t softer, they’re smarter
@@littlemacisunderrated412 maybe yes I agree but not as much as stone cold and the rock as they were pushed more than anybody but he would be like triple h or mankind so yeah.
@@littlemacisunderrated412 but you must realize that hhh and Shawn Michaels were backstage bullies back then and used to bully the rock,mark henry and Vader so yeah and hbk always got what he wanted to stay on top of the division.
Goldberg can't even wrestle anymore the comeback matches are less to 2 minutes or 3.
He didn’t call the lot physically soft. I find it funny they couldn’t understand what he meant and proved his point in the process.
If roman would have come little earlier and had fight with undertaker he would have easily agreed with takers opinion.
I wonder if Roman will still be a heel/bad guy when he gets betrayed and dethroned
Roman stole taker’s nickname and gimmick
How the fuck did he steal his gimmick?
So roman is a dead man now??
@@ritviksood2654 the big dog who runs the yard was undertakers thing.
@@mitchie2267 no it was the dead mans yard, Roman came in as the big dog cos he was the big man in the shield
@@daviddowling2822 watch his promos from 01. Ut called himself "the big dog" all the time.
Bruh WWE is shit these days no megastars anymore. Absolutely zero. All soft and boring characters.
But isn't that more because the product is bad, and not that the wrestlers are just bitches?
@@MiketheNerdRanger Nope wrestlers need to make chicken salad out of chicken shit, the rock really made “roody poo” get over, jericho really made “the list” get over, all these charatcer back in the day made corny shit get over. Meaning this generation cant draw a lick with whatever they got. Look how corny hogan and ultimate warriors gimmicks are BUT they made that shit get over. These days nothing.
they did get that stuff through tsa easier, Roman doesn’t really know how travel was pre-9/11
I think the undertaker didn’t miss speak bout what he was saying. It’s everyone else who’s misinterpreting what he’s saying . IMO
Forreal he started talkin bout guns lol booker t woulda lit up that boy in his prime with his hands only
@@jdogg1523 nah with the guns I think he was referring to Goldberg cos Goldberg said that shit
No matter who manages Reigns how many belts they slap on him he will never pull the weight like the wrestlers back in the day did
That is a load of crap
@@crisvanfan your obv a big fanboy
@@crisvanfan Roman sucks and he's boring
Wwe sucks these says because it has goten too soft i dont see how anyone can argue that wwe hasnt gon soft
Wwe fell off after 2016.
Please explain what you mean by soft, there's a lot of different ways to use soft.
@DarkMage 921 not as soft as WWE where they even censor fucking chair shots to the head from old matches. Then there’s the lack of blood, everything being too scripted. I can go on and on.
@DarkMage 921 See this is how I know I’m talking to someone who probably hates AEW but sees no wrong in WWE. I never said AEW isn’t scripted, I said WWE is “too scripted.” Of course it’s scripted dumbass but in WWE it’s to the point where it’s predictable and takes the sense of “real ness that existed in the past. Plus I’m not sure if you’re even old enough to remember all the shit WWE had done regarding medical attention and such in the past to even bring that up.
@DarkMage 921 Um WWE uses fake blood too so wtf are you talking about? Plus AEW at times “blade” themselves although WWE seems like they don’t even do that anymore. The fact that I even have to bring all this shit up let’s me know how informed you are.
Best response to Taker’s comments I’ve heard yet.
@@DGS_1992 I agree but also I think there’s a handful of guys who u can see are great and would be able to hang back then with the OGs if they had the right storyline, the wrestlers are only seen as weak because they are now on a pg show, u can see with a good story and when guys can say what they want, guys like Rollins, Reigns and Orton are very good
New school just cry babies
If they had used this angle back then it would have been a very interesting feud.
Roman Reigns 🔥
Look at the wwe universe
Mostly kids support the brand
Of course it's going to be soft
Let's take away the kids, put grown man in those seats and watch the attitude Era make its way slowly back
Beer sells will skyrocket
Food sky rocket
Have like a cigarette(smoke stand)
Or whatnot
Good for business Tripple H
Roman reigns is strong
Great interview, thanks for sharing
No guns or knives means the heels today completely sucks.
hum ne kaha brock ka shart kaisa hai
come back India roman reigns
If Brock Lesnar played video games, Undertaker wouldn't care, because Lesnar always delivers. The point is that sometimes it feels like that's all current superstars do nowadays, because they don't hone their craft, ratings keep dropping, and they keep having to bring back old-timers to boost them. Video games are probably a bad scapegoat. Undertaker probably plays them with his wife and daughter. Undertaker's point is that they don't hone their craft as intensely as him, but sadly all they hear from him are video games, guns and knives.
Roman is good and the head of the dressing room so I just think he has to defend his co stars, also Roman is in the handful of guys Taker said had something I think anyways so I think Romans more defending the rest of the locker room compared to himself
I wonder if the bloodline will be a heel tagteam once Roman Reigns breaks away from Paul Heyman
This man kicked out on 2 against lukemia... Twice!!!!!! The universe says this guys going over so...
So.....
So true like a leg drop used to be a finisher! Look at the moves today brutal
I'm Big fan Roman reigns from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Eh in fairness Roman would murder Taker in a real fight even in his prime and Taker is my favorite of all time but that's the reality of it.
Hahahahahaha..greatest joke ever!!!
he speakin all facts undertaker is very knowledgeable great guy hella respect for the business nobody does it like the dead man and goldberg is jus goldberg who cares lol and i agree alot of the new dudes are lowkey soft js but i will say roman rn is very much so on his game held the title for a great amount of time💯 roman can hang wit the best thats how well his athleticism has gotten
They didn’t fly from show to show in the territory days
Undertaker was right though not just the wrestlers but the WWE in general is soft today it’s definitely lost it’s edge it’s not the same as it use to be and not near as great.
Honesty wwe raw has like 7 talk show's so he's right u don't even see matches on raw tf
7 talk show's with a tag team champion with kno tag division but there worried about having talk show's tf why not make triple tag team champion what a 3 hour show bring back the new day and make some triple tag teams tf are some regular because honesty i only watch raw for olmos and aj styles after i know it's going to be another talk show only thing stoping wwe rite is raw&sdl has no tag division a wrestling company needs a tag division no matter what without it it's going to suck
hello roman reign
Roman Reigns is the man! The biggest star in WWE 👏⭐️
C'mon isn't wwe soft compared to attitude Era???? Are u kidding me???? Takers obv 200% correct....
There were stars, by their own admission, that carried guns and knives. I saw an interview with Kamala where he talked about carrying a knife then a gun because he was afraid Andre was going to beat him to death. I saw an interview with Stevie Ray from Harlem Heat in the locker room carrying a gun and it was for protection too. I don't put a lot of faith in rumors but when it's the actual people admitting to it it's hard not to believe. I think each wrestler has to look inside themselves and determine if they are soft or not. By that I mean would they have been successful in the 70's, 80's, or 90's? Would they have shined during the attitude era? I think the reason Taker calls them soft is maybe they should put more work into developing their characters or work harder to improve their move sets instead of playing video games.
I am worry about my Roman reigns I can not watch wwe anymore I love this guy Roman so much
Bruhhhh he started this interview cutting tf up I’m literally crine rn 😭😂
God man these guys need to stop being defensive and realize there a certain part of the wwe thats soft compared to back in the day and work on it .. instead of saying "hey we're not soft, I do this this this and this" figure out what does he mean...this is taker saying it not sum jackass fan like myself that says it on message boards every day..so there has to be a lil Truth..
Maybe he shouldn't say what he doesn't mean. It would do him well to clarify.
How would feel if you were busting your ass day in and day out, *regardless* of how it looked, only for someone to come along and crap all over it?
Taker has every right to his opinion but someone else has every right to disagree. They don’t have to agree bc it’s taker. He more than anyone should understand the power lies in Vince’s hand, not any ons wrestler.
Nobody watches wrestling anymore it’s is soft you guys can’t even compare to the attuned era he said imagine if all I had to do was chug beers smh
