The Undertaker is featured in a new documentary series from Onnit called ‘True Wrestling’. The Deadman sat down with Ricky Starks and Aaron Solow to discuss a wide variety of topics.
During the interview, the Undertaker was asked if he ever considered quitting the wrestling business at any point of his career.
Here is what he said (h/t to Wrestling INC for the quotes below):
“You know, at the tail-end now, I really have to put everything into perspective, and what damage I’m doing at this point, to myself, and my life after wrestling.
But when I was going full-time, no. Even when the business took a real nose-dive, you’re thinking, ‘OK, how are we gonna get out of this? What we gonna do? We can work harder.’ The one thing I was really good at, and in my mind anyway, if anybody else feels that way is another story, but in my mind, I felt like it was always where I belonged, and what I should be doing.
Obviously, there were times where money was… but instead of, ‘Man, I need to get me a job at the Jiffy Lube and figure out something else later on…’, It was, ‘What can we do to make this product where we want to see it?'”
On a related note, the Undertaker recently shared his thoughts on what is a ‘huge problem’ with pro-wrestling today. You can read his comments here.
