While speaking with The Dallas Morning News recently, when asked about his thoughts on the The Undertaker, Ziggler said:
“I’m notoriously like bitter and over it and nothing really gets me excited. Except for a couple random things – being in NXT now, a couple moments here and there, or Shawn Michaels vs. Undertaker a couple years back at WrestleMania, one of the greatest things I’ve ever witnessed in person. But more importantly, when it’s a RAW or a SmackDown and things are going OK and there’s a couple matches, and you hear that sound – that gong – and you know Undertaker is there … there’s something that makes you stop."
Ziggler went on to describe the powerful and enthralling aura that surrounded The Undertaker.
"You get chills. You just want to see the entrance. You want to know what the hell is he doing here? What’s this about? That, for me, is one of those few special moments you can still get. For someone like me who’s seen it all and done it all, and you just see the aura around him – you realize this is such a special superstar. I wonder how long you can talk about it at the Hall of Fame. You might need two days to rack up all his accomplishments, rack up everything he’s done, everything he’s meant to WWE and the fans that it’s really going to be a special moment.”
