The Undertaker has seen it all in his storied career, and on the latest episode of his Six Feet Under podcast, he opened up about WWEs monumental evolution over the past two decades. The wrestling icon reflected on how the company has transformed from being seen as a fringe act to a globally respected entertainment powerhouse.
From when I started to where were at now, its completely different. The way its perceived is different. The magnitude of the events are different, sponsors are different. All of this has happened within the last 20 years, The Undertaker said, noting how WWE now sits alongside the likes of the NFL, MLB, and NBA in terms of cultural impact and prestige.
He added, I think we are finally on that level where were not considered kind of like a sideshow circus kind of deal. Its good, its good to know that I was part of that development of that system.
The Deadman expressed pride in being part of WWEs journey, highlighting the rigorous path talent now must take to make it into the Performance Center (PC)a system designed to scout and develop only the best, akin to how the NFL selects top college players.
But yeah, in the last 20 years, weve really turned the page from kind of the sideshow deal to a major entertainment genre, he concluded, emphasizing WWEs hard-earned legitimacy in the world of sports and entertainment.
The Undertakers reflections highlight just how far WWE has come, evolving from its early days as a niche attraction to being considered a premier entertainment entity on par with major sports leagues. With this shift, the company has solidified its place as a dominant force in global entertainment, thanks in part to legendary figures like The Undertaker who paved the way for this transformation.
