What If The Undertaker joins as backstage personnel in NXT?

#4 Mystical characters 101

The Undertaker has made his supernatural character work for a long time

One of the distinctive aspects of The Undertaker is that he not only got over, but enjoyed longevity while playing a mystical character.

Pro wrestling, and particularly pro wrestling with a less serious bent (as WWE has often offered up), has a place for magical figures that force the audience to suspend its disbelief.

However, most characters of this ilk don’t last all that long before the gimmick gets played out or grows cumbersome for the rest of the more realistic roster to work around.

The Undertaker did evolve over time, but maintained the undead underpinnings of his persona across decades and different eras of WWE programming.

As such, The Phenom is uniquely situated to mentor younger talents with aspirations of similar gimmicks, or to identify talents who might benefit from such a style but not thought of using it yet.

Not only would The Dead Man have insights, but he also commands the kind of universal respect that would be difficult for up and comers to ignore.
