Undertaker: I Don’t Know If There’s A Locker Room General In WWE Today, Everything Is Self-Policed
Undertaker talks about locker room culture shifts in WWE.
The Undertaker was once referred to on-screen as “The Conscience of WWE.” Behind the scenes, Undertaker was also known as the locker room leader in WWE.
On the most recent episode of his Six Feet Under podcast, Undertaker was asked about who he believes would take over that locker room leader position in WWE today.
Undertaker, referencing the changes in the culture at WWE, says he’s not sure if there is one because he comes around so infrequently. More so, he’s not sure if one is required anymore as the culture has changed to the point where most in the locker room are self-policed.
“I’m not there that often and I don’t know that there is that person. I think the whole culture has changed so much, that I think it’s kind of — I don’t know this for certain, it’s just my assumption, everything’s kind of self-policed,” he said. “If there is somebody that’s kind of screwing things up, usually everybody’s got one or two people that they’re really, really, really, really close with, but I don’t know. I don’t know if they have that one person that’s willing to assemble the group and cuss them. I say that as kind of a halfway joke. I also was the first one to pat them on the back for tearing down the house.
“I don’t know. There could be [a designated locker room general], but I don’t know who that would be. The culture is really different. Most of the top guys all have buses and stay on their buses,” he added.
Speaking of buses, Undertaker also joked that getting his own bus and getting a few more nights of sleep sooner could have resulted in him still being an active wrestler today. Read his comments here.
