Seth Rollins reveals why The Undertaker's character won’t work for today’s audience

Since his debut, The Undertaker has been presented as a supernatural being who has various powers. Mark Calaway’s iconic gimmick worked so well because it was always shrouded in mystery and intrigue. In his 30-year-long WWE career, Mark Calaway never did an interview, which upheld the facade in the eyes of the audience. However, WWE star Seth Rollins has claimed that Mark Calaway broke his iconic character after the release of The Last Ride documentary.

While speaking on Corey Graves' After the Bell podcast, Seth Rollins revealed that he and all the people his age believed in The Undertaker’s supernatural gimmick. However, "if a 12-year-old sees The Last Ride today, it would ruin everything,” said Rollins. Seth Rollins stated that the Undertaker’s gimmick is so supernatural that people would just stop trusting in his character after watching The Last Ride. 

"His character doesn’t work today. There are some weird exceptions, Bray Wyatt comes to mind from an ultra-character perspective who sort of slides by a little bit or gets a pass,” said Seth Rollins.
