He's absolutely right. The undertaker was one of the most dominant wrestlers ever and looks fantastic considering what he's been going through for so long.

Wow, how he changed from his first interviews back when he retired, he was extremely uncomfortable, now he's come to peace with it, amazing, i remember his interviews 3 years ago he was stuttering & abusing the "u know" term, now he's so fluid with his answers, he sacrificed his life both physically & mentally to entertain the fans, god bless this icon .

Facts I can see it too

On the Kayfabe in the modern era question, I think MJF is writing the book on how to still remain in character in the internet age. Everything he does in public, including his social media, is 100% in character. He's doing an absolutely phenomenal job of keeping kayfabe alive in an era where everything you do is recorded. 30 years from now, MJF's way of doing things is going to be taught in wrestling schools on how to commit to your character. Kayfabe isn't dead, it's just evolving.

Taker is honestly one of those guys that ACTUALLY looks good at his age

18:33 - 19:24 I have been a die hard Undertaker fan for many years. What he just said there in that time frame, I have waited for years and years for him to say something like that. To nail it right on the head - that's exactly it! Thank you for capturing our imaginations and being a big influence on our lives creating memories we cherish. It was something more than just "any ole character" he lived it and we felt that. One of a kind.

Anyone else genuinely thrilled to see Mark so healthy, happy, full of energy and seemingly enjoying his life?

This short interview is one of the best interviews I've ever seen with Undertaker. He seemed so much more into it and it was a Great Watch.

Always loved Taker, he made the character as his personality and the way his character is so simple “being in the darkside” in the early years of his WWE/WWF career really elevated his status. The way his character is presented and the way he presented it really made him a badass that even if he became the American BA or the deadman that can do technical moves, he is still great to watch. Great interview Chris! Hope you can interview Mark in person next time!

The only thing wrong with this interview is that it's only 21 minutes. Definitely need another interview sometime soon 😁 As always great interview Chris. You and Renee are definitely my most watched/loved wrestling interviewers. I love that you're both Canadian too 🥰

Huh? Vince almost passed on him as well. The only reason he didn't is because of guys like Paul Heyman and Bruce Prichard pulling for him in the office.

Undertaker IS Wrestling for me. He got me into it, he was the reason I stayed interested and now through the interviews I can appreciate the work that the Man put into the character even more. He is one of the all-time greats. Not just in Wrestling.

Was privileged to be at Survivor Series 1990 in Hartford CT. Will never lose that image in my mind the 1st time I saw Taker as an 11 year old kid. What a memory. #thankyoutaker

@Edge in my opinion the Undertaker is the face of wrestling. I never forgot watching live when Brock beat the streak. I was just in shock dude and when undertaker stood up and walked up the ramp I actually cried. I never ever thought the streak would ever end! Brock wasn’t the guy. Should have kept the streak going but I would of had Roman beat the streak. Heel Roman beating the streak would have been amazing! Brock didn’t need to beat the streak

@Edge well I remember before undertaker himself confirmed that vince asked him to end the streak so many conspiracy theories about the ref made a mistake, brock went into business for himself, taker being too concussed to kick out. I understand why as I couldn’t believe it could actually happen

Incredible interview. I met Undertaker the Phenom at a convention in NY a month before the beginning of the pandemic in 2020. It was the first time I met my childhood icon who have been the Cornerstone of the WWE and he's been the most pivotal part entity the company has ever had and there's never going to be another. The stories he's told is so authentic and he's the most respected legend and human being ever. I have my copy of the Undertaker 25th Anniversary book and he's signed it that time he came in NY. What a moment I've had to meet the Deadman. The Digimon of the WWE like in the anime series a Digimon becomes evolved into a Champion, Ultimate and Mega. Just as the anime series he is the Digimon of the company who kept his character evolved from Champion (1990-1996), Ultimate (1997-1999), Mega (2000-2020). The phases of his character was so awesome - the Western Days, the Goth/Ministry of Darkness era, American Badass and back into the classic Undertaker which became a hybrid of his incarnations until the Mohawk style into Boneyard farewell that's icing on the cake of his versions that no one will duplicate and imitate. Shoutout to you Chris for this amazing interview. You're awesome.

It's about time you interviewed The Undertaker, because for the many years that you've been talking to these wrestlers, I'm surprised you haven't done it already.

I will say that I think MJF is a perfect example of someone who is doing Modern day Kayfabe because he is living his life as his gimmick, which, honestly not a lot of people do. I’ll say probably also Rick boogs.

Grew up watching Undertaker as a child on up to now. Nothing but the utmost Respect. As a child born in the 80s and watching these interviews, if you'd have told us back in 94 or 98 we would be watching this we'd never believe it. Us kids who grew up watching this absolute legend are truly grateful. Thank You Taker

You can see in Chris eyes how big of a fan he is of the undertaker. Wholesome to see.

Imagine how elated Chris feels when Taker promises to have an interview again, but in person?

Man this why i love The Undertaker!! He is the greatest of all time. But its so fun to watch him be himself outside of the character.

Great interview. So cool you got to interview Undertaker. That's huge. You've earned this. I'll always enjoy hearing Undertaker interviews and this was just as good as I thought it'd be. Great job on this one, dude.

Vince giving Taker 5 mins when he knew Taker was preparing for a 45 min match is the most Vince thing ever 😂

Taker and Cena DID wrestle eachother on ppv before wm34.. at Vengeance 2003 I believe.

I have a feeling due to the fact that the Undertaker is the most respected wrestling performer in history, this will be Chris' most viewed interview to date. Just watch. ☝️

even back in the late 90s and early 2000s, everyone ive ever spoken to that said they where on a flight with the undertaker or met him in person said he was super nice

There will be never a wrestler like undertaker ever again. The living legend father of wwe❤

I cannot wait for this interview!!!!

Hell of an interview Chris. You sir are a top notch interviewer. You ask the question, sit back quietly, listen and soak it in. Mad respect

Followed you for years Chris and I’m pretty certain that this is the first time you’ve interviewed Taker? I’m sure this was a massive bucket list thing for you. Congratulations man you deserve it, most consistently good wrestling interviewer I’ve ever watched.

Undertaker seems like the best retired wrestler... I'm sure he's got his pains and physical struggles as a result from his wrestling days (decades), but he seems to have aged well.

Such a shame we couldn't get a good wrestling match with Taker and Cena at Mania even with Taker wanting it, but it's understandable that they went with a squash match cause of Takers endurance

I would love to do things like this. I've always been a wrestling fan. Turning 37 this year. My original dream was to be a wrestler. Health problems interfered in that. But I've always wanted to work for the business and help out the business in some way. That dream is likely dead also but seeing you do these interviews Chris really brings a sense a joy my way brother and I thank you for that. LONG LIVE THE UNDERTAKER!!

Two amazing human beings that I admire and aspire to be like! Blessings up to you both

That was such a nice interview! I know I always gush about your interviews but Chris you really set the bar. I mean, nobody does interviews with such, grace, dignity, & respect as you do! Thank you for another great one.

I can't believe The Undertaker got the chance to sit down and chat with CVV!? Unreal

Great interview! Thank you, Chris, for not just asking the same questions everyone ask. I enjoy every one of your interviews and I hope this was just the 1st of more with Taker!

11:52 I’m so upset at how wrong both of them were on this decision 😭 definitely needed that match to live up to the hype on paper. That was a dream match for everyone for Mania only for them to do it late and have it be a squash. Nobody remembers the build nor does the match/moment ever really get talked about. Bad call by Vince & John in my opinion

neither one of them could go for that long anymore. respect to both legends but i think it was the right decision.

Undertaker is without question the greatest of all time!! He's everything you want in a wrestler!! He's big, fast strong believable, great in the ring and not bad on the mic!! Most importantly his loyalty and how he carried himself as a locker room leader for all them years is unbelievable considering all the other wrestlers causing problems all the time and having massive egos!! I won't even argue or debate it undertaker is the tom brady of wrestling

It's great to hear from him he has been such a icon. In my book the Undertaker was the best that ever stepped in the ring. So many great matches 30 years of 100% bad a ass. I still get chills and so much emotion when he comes into the ring .the lights go out u know that your going to watch a true great bad ass

I love how every single legend who tells their story or stories, always mention how the undertaker was the big boss of the locker room 🫡 every legend in their prime! Has said this!!

Oh man...when I saw this interview no let's call it like it is, a conversation pop up in my feed, I said "This is the one I have been wanting forever." Great conversation, I just wish it could have at least an hour longer. Can't wait until you do this in person next time. Thank you Chris and Taker.

its so so so so good to see undertaker happy after he gave his LIFE to entertain us really the greatest performer in the HISTORY of pro wrestling

I really really enjoyed this interview!!! Great job Chris!! It's so nice to see Undertaker behind the curtain!! I really love it!! Again great job man!!!

Undertaker is the GOAT.. period

Undertaker cracking a tear broooo He a is living legend we must cherish him forever ⚱️🦇🪦👿

Fantastic work Chris. The legends just keep getting bigger and bigger!

I’ve said this so many times but it still remains true, how you don’t have a million subs is beyond me! Cheers to a fantastic career, and to my favorite wrestler of all time! Thank you Taker!

Congratulations on this interview Chris! I’ve always loved your interviews, I bet this one was a bucket list level interview. I hope you get to do another with Taker sometime.

CVV with The Undertaker. What more makes me want to click faster! I live vicariously through these interviews. The candid reactions and dialogue.

Chris!!!! So happy for you scoring this interview. Keep up the great work. We love you!

Awesome interview! Huge compliment fromthe deadman at the end there. Dont think Taker has told anyone he'd love to do part 2 of an interview!! Cool stuff
