Current WWE champion reacts to praise from The Undertaker
A current WWE champion has reacted to praise from The Undertaker ahead of tonight's episode of SmackDown.
The Undertaker has started his own show titled Six Feet Under now that he has hung up his wrestling boots for good. He recently revealed his Mt. Rushmore of smaller wrestlers and received praise from fans for mentioning Chris Benoit on his list.
Speaking on Six Feet Under, The Undertaker spoke about Logan Paul and stated that the United States Champion was an incredible athlete. He noted that Paul could use some improvement in the storytelling aspect of his performance but added that the 28-year-old could be special as a superstar if he wanted to be.
“Dude, I tell you what, it’s amazing guys like him, obviously incredibly athletic. I met him once at WrestleMania last year in LA briefly. Man, if he wanted to, I think he could be really, really special. Not that he isn’t. I mean, athletically he can do everything, but I mean, if he would kind of invest some of his time too, I mean, what he’s done already with, I mean, is pretty astounding, really. It’s not easy to get in and have matches of that caliber that quickly. I think a little more work in the storytelling department," he said. [H/T: PWMania]
