WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker recently took to an episode of his Six Feet Under podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including how he couldn’t have stretched out his American Badass character similar to what he was able to do with his Deadman character.

Undertaker said, โ€œI donโ€™t think so. I donโ€™t think it has 30 years of legs. It excels pretty fast, but I donโ€™t see 30 years without some kind ofโ€ฆit doesnโ€™t matter what the character is, you have to evolve. With something like the American Badass, thereโ€™s not a whole lot of places to evolve to. Iโ€™m a big badass biker who gets in fights and talks shit. Thereโ€™s just not a lot of places to go with that. Where, The Undertaker, the original character, there are all kind of different things you can do with that. I donโ€™t think it has 30-year legs. I took more bumps as American Badass than I did as Undertaker. I actually took more bumps at the end of my career than the beginning. It all worked out the way it was supposed to.โ€
