WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker ranks among the most iconic professional wrestlers of all time. With his time as the Deadman now behind him, 'Taker frequently shares insights into the industry and has singled out two Superstars he has high expectations for.
Coming from The Undertaker, that carries a lot of weight, and both World Heavyweight Champion Gunther and The Bloodline's Jacob Fatu are on his radar.
"Gunther. That’s my guy. I love that dude. Honestly, everything he does, because he’s so different," the Phenom said. "He can work with anybody, and he does his style regardless. And he’s not a bunch of flippy-dos and meaningless moves. Everything he does makes sense. He cuts a great promo. He believes in who he is, and in turn, the audience believes, you know, that’s who he is."
"And I haven’t really seen him ever where he was that far different than what you see on TV, even backstage, which, you know me, I appreciate that more than anything," he continued. "I like Gunther Obviously, you know, Jey Uso is excellent, Jacob...he hasn’t even scratched the surface, dude."
"I love watching Jacob. I mean, he’s got it. He’s got it. Like, when he’s on TV, you want to see what he’s doing. And so, again, that’s just… he’s only, again, another one of those who has just scratched the surface of where he has the potential to go," The Undertaker said of the Samoan Werewolf.
During the same interview, The Undertaker addressed John Cena's ongoing retirement tour. Health issues saw the WWE Hall of Famer forced to give up competing sooner than he'd have liked, and his last "match" was a cinematic Boneyard bout against AJ Styles.
Looking at the WWE roster, The Undertaker shared his belief that CM Punk, Randy Orton, and even Paul Heyman also deserve retirement tours.
"I would say CM Punk would probably be one of those. I don’t know how long [Paul] Heyman plans on hanging around, but I mean, I think he has done enough for enough talent that I think he should be in there. I don’t know who else is out there that may be retiring anytime soon."
"Maybe... Well, yeah, if Randy wraps it up. I mean, Randy definitely deserves that. I mean, he’s had a pretty storied career, and I’d like to see guys like that... Yeah, you definitely want to see them get their flowers and say their goodbyes."
