What did The Undertaker advise Big Show to do in the Attitude Era?

The Undertaker is a legend in the wrestling world and it should come as no surprise that many superstars look up to him for advice. Taker wrestled for more than 30 years and is definitely on the Mount Rushmore of wrestling.

The Deadman, as he is fondly called, has taken a lot of superstars under his wing during his time as an active wrestler and there is one instance where he advised a certain giant to quit the wrestling business and that man is none other than Big Show.

While talking to the Generation Iron Fitness Network, Big Show, who is now known as Paul Wight said, “I went to him one time in 99 and I did the same thing that every young guy does, ‘Did you see anything maybe I can change or work on? Is there anything I can improve on?’ I just wanted him to pat me on the back and say, ‘No, kid, you’re doing great,’ because that’s what your mentality is. ‘Taker looked at me, he goes, ‘Yeah, I got some advice. I think you should take two weeks off and quit the business,’ and he walked off.”

Bully Ray prefers The Undertaker to be the American Badass instead of the Deadman

On the “Raw is XXX” special edition, The Undertaker returned to WWE television as “The American Badass” for the first time in over 20 years, much to the pleasure of fellow WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray. Ray said something during the live broadcast on Monday night in response to the Undertaker going down the ramp on a motorbike.

“American Bad Ass > Deadman. #WWERaw30,” Ray tweeted.

Fans who reacted to Ray’s opinion were split, with many arguing that “The American Badass” was truly an alter ego of The Deadman, and that the smack-talking biker gimmick never exuded the aura of mystique such as The Phenom.

Several others lamented the fact that Taker’s motorcycle-riding character was never revisited by WWE during the retired wrestler’s final few years. However, Taker did take the form of “The Unholy Trinity,” a combination of The Deadman, American Badass, and Mark Calaway, in his farewell Boneyard match against AJ Styles at WrestleMania 36.
