The Undertaker is considered one of the greatest WWE Superstars of all time. A Hall of Famer believes that a current 48-year-old talent has taken The Deadman’s spot after his retirement in 2020.
There’s no denying that The Undertaker became more of an attraction when he started a part-time schedule in the early 2010s. He was specifically brought in during WrestleMania season to face the biggest names at the biggest event of the year. In an interview with the Action Network, Eric Bischoff said that Brock Lesnar has stepped into The Phenom’s role as WWE’s attraction.
Thanks for the submission!
Bischoff was asked about Lesnar’s current role within the company after returning at SummerSlam following a two-year hiatus.
“Brock Lesnar is now in that Undertaker category. He’s an attraction. And I think attractions have always worked. Hulk Hogan was an attraction for a long time. Undertaker, clearly an attraction. I think Brock’s role as an attraction is a solid one, I think it’s a valuable one. I think that we’ll see Brock throughout the year, a couple of times a year, similar to what we would expect to see The Undertaker for the next couple of years,” Bischoff said.
Brock Lesnar has the star power that extends to the mainstream media. The 48-year-old is set to wrestle just his second match in two years on Saturday, November 29, at Survivor Series inside WarGames as part of Team Vision against Team Punk.
WWE to create a dedicated YouTube channel for The Undertaker
As proof of The Undertaker’s popularity, he found a second career as a podcaster and YouTuber after retiring from pro wrestling. His Six Feet Under podcast is one of the most popular shows under the WWE banner.
According to Variety, WWE will launch a specialized channel featuring The Deadman’s podcast, as well as many other videos and programs revolving around the character. New episodes will continue to drop every Wednesday, while classic matches will also be featured.
Documentaries and other Taker-related shows are also expected to be produced for the channel. This is part of WWE’s latest project to expand its already big presence on YouTube.
