Paul “Triple H” Levesque and Shawn Michaels are getting a ton of credit from fans and people in the business for the positive changes in WWE. While speaking on the “Six Feet Under” podcast, The Undertaker praised what they’ve been doing.
While WWE still hires wrestlers from the independent scene, in recent years there has been more emphasis put on athletes from other sports.
On the hiring process, Taker said, “I still think there is a quota of guys that they take from the independents but I’m pretty sure the objective now is the NFL combine, the Big 12 combines. To get those kind of athletes. They do have open workouts too. Like, they had one in Australia a month or so ago. It’s a lot different process. It’s another layer of the evolution of the product and the athletes.”
Taker said he saw defense linemen and linebackers at the Big 12 combine he went to.
Undertaker then went on to praise the talent depth in WWE. He had a lot of good things to say about The Judgment Day:
“The depth of talent now. You’ve got so many guys that have come up like The Judgment Day. Those guys — Damian Priest and Dominik, my goodness. We haven’t had that kind of heel in so long that just carries that kind of heat with him.”
Also on the podcast, Taker praised the depth of the women’s division and he talked about the lack of depth with the tag teams that he feels will be corrected soon.
