The Undertakers contributions to the business cannot be denied and its a known fact that he had influence backstage in WWE. However, some people have accused him of using his backstage pull to influence storylines and now hes shot down such accusations.
While speaking on the Six Feet Under podcast, The Undertaker responded to accusations that he used his backstage pull to influence WWE booking. He said these accusations are ridiculous.
The Deadman said he is grateful for his incredible career and all he accomplished, things he never imagined possible. He is equally proud of how he is respected by his peers, which he considers more important than anything else. He explained that he has a very small inner circle whose opinions he values, especially the wrestlers he shared a locker room with.
The Phenom added that if anyone asked nearly all of those wrestlers, they would confirm that, despite any clout he might have had, he never used it to affect anyones booking. He criticized how easily people online believe so-called reliable sources, making wild assumptions about what he might have done if he had more power.
The Undertaker said he would not give anyone the satisfaction of a detailed explanation. He closed by saying that anyone who doesnt believe him can line up and kiss his behind.
For more than 30 years, The Undertaker was seen as WWEs top locker-room leader, guiding younger wrestlers and setting a standard for professionalism. While legends like him often have myths about their backstage power, the Phenom made it clear that he couldnt care less about baseless rumors and thats never changing.
