18 Things we learned from The Undertaker's out-of-character interview with Steve Austin

#5 He lived the gimmick early on in his career

As mentioned in the introduction, The Undertaker is one of the only WWE Superstars who has mostly remained in character outside of the squared circle.

He revealed during the interview that not only did he refuse to break character for many years early on in his WWE career, but he had nothing but black clothes in his wardrobe after he started his Undertaker gimmick.

#6 Veterans did not like his initial push

When The Undertaker debuted in 1990, he instantly cemented his status as one of WWE’s next top Superstars with a phenomenal performance in his first on-screen appearance at Survivor Series.

He told Steve Austin that many veterans did not like selling for his dominant offence during his initial push with the company, but he felt reassured when Dusty Rhodes congratulated him after his debut.

#7 The only person he went to for advice

Steve Austin asked The Undertaker to list some people who helped him put together his gimmick in 1990.

Excluding Vince McMahon, he said Jake Roberts was the only person who he went to for advice on his character. He mentioned that Roberts had a “brilliant mind” for the wrestling business and he trusted his opinion.

'Taker was particularly impressed by Roberts’ quiet promos, which were very different from the over-the-top promos that other Superstars cut during that era.
