AEW star Matt Hardy covered a wide range of subjects in the most recent episode of his podcast “Extreme Life of Matt Hardy.”
During it, he revealed which interpretation of The Undertaker — the original deadman, biker Taker, or Big Evil — was his favorite. explained why the original Taker persona was his favorite version of the character.
“The original I think [is my favorite Undertaker gimmick]. I mean, even later on whenever he brought that version back, and the way he did it there. I mean, that’s just the essence of The Undertaker. He was great when he did the biker ‘Taker and ‘Big Evil’ [and] whatnot. And I know he enjoyed it because it gave him a chance to really be him and express his personality, which was very similar to how he was, you know, a lot of the true Mark Callaway shined in that character.
But I love the original version with the long chilling entrance where he takes his time. I mean, that’s like, it would give you chills. I loved being in the ring, whether I was teaming with him or working against him whenever he would come out with that entrance. I mean, it was amazing. I mean, just to sit there and be in the ring and watch him come down the aisle was just, it would give you goosebumps every single time.”
