The Undertaker is without a doubt one of the most well known wrestlers to ever step foot in the ring, and he’s faced a wide variety of opponents throughout the course of his Hall of Fame worthy career.
Former ECW World Champion Sabu recently spoke to PTM’s Vinny Vegas about wrestlers with contrasting styles, and hee claimed that The Undertaker would get wrestlers fired if they were too stiff in the ring.
“It’s okay to be rough and stiff – I respect that. I don’t like guys that are too light. The Undertaker, he was so light you don’t feel him. If you’re stiff to him, he’ll bitch about you, he’ll get you fired. But if you’re stiff with me, I won’t get you fired, I’ll tell you to ease up or keep it up. The top guys in WWF [WWE], if you’re too stiff with them they’ll get you fired.”
The former WWE star went on to say that he understood why The Undertaker was critical of wrestlers who were stiff in the ring, and he also explained his own approach when it came to throwing a punch.
“You can’t have guys make a mistake and punch you in the mouth every night. You gotta calm it down. I didn’t punch a guy in the mouth hard every night, but it was a light punch. They could feel it – it was easy to sell.”
The Undertaker last competed when he picked up a win over AJ Styles in the first ever Boneyard Match at WrestleMania 36. He later said farewell to the WWE Universe at the Survivor Series pay-per-view in November of 2020.
