The Undertaker was recently interviewed by Variety. This was in order to promote his new documentary series, “The Last Ride”
During the interview, The Undertaker was asked his thoughts on the ‘Boneyard match’ against AJ Styles. He ended up having some big praise for the ‘Phenomenal One’.
Here is what he said:
“We got really lucky in that. I think the world of AJ not only professionally but personally. I just didn’t know if I had enough gas in the tank to give him what he was expecting…With all the negative aspects of what happened, we got to do something so unique and so innovative. It was like a mini-movie. I think there will probably be more matches in the future shot like that. Not on every card, but with those specialty matches I think they’re really on to something. It’s so different from what you normally see and so different from the regular product. I was very fortunate to be able to do that with someone of AJ Styles’ caliber. And then all the talent that was there production-wise, I was very happy with how that turned out.”
“It showcased what I do best. I’m a storyteller. That’s what I believe wrestling matches are. They’re stories. When it’s done right, you tell a great story, and I think we told a great story. To me, that’s a good night’s work.”
