During a recent edition of his “Six Feet Under” podcast, The Undertaker discussed the worst part of wrestling training and other topics.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the worst part about wrestling training: “[Those] are the suckiest part of learning at work, is hitting the ropes and taking flatbacks. Those are the worst part… People have no idea [the pain]. That was the worst, always coming back from injuries or whatnot, was the first time you have to hit ropes.”
On Bret Hart’s front chest turnbuckle spot: “I mean, he would launch me, because it helped him generate the speed and the power. And I don’t know how man, he took that thing right in the chest. But he was always good with it. So those are like the little things. And when I try to teach people, or I’m working with somebody, it’s those little things like that, though — how hard you hit a turnbuckle, how hard you hit the ropes — that capture people’s attention. Or will turn somebody off from you. Because if you hit real gingerly, it’s like, ‘Ah’.”
