Earlier this week, The Undertaker appeared for an interview by Ed Young of Fellowship Church in Northern Texas.
The two spoke about several different topics, one of which included the Deadman’s thoughts on the current performers reliance of high-risk moves today.
Here’s what he had to say when asked about high-risk moves:
“It’s not about the moves — it really isn’t — it’s being able to evoke emotion in one facet or another. You have to either make people love you or you have to make people hate you.”
When asked about why that’s a problem, he added:
“A lot of times what happens with these young guys is they’re so athletic, they’re so gifted, they’ll do some kind of double crazy backflip off the top rope and land on somebody on the floor and then that’s what the audience takes away from it: ‘this guy does crazy stuff.’ Well, you can only see that so many times before you’re like ‘I’ve seen that. I need something new. And that’s the position they sometimes back themselves into. They have to keep upping the ante. And when you up the ante like that, then you increase your potential for injuries.”
