What does The Undertaker, someone who used to be criticized for having long ring entrances in WWE, think of the “YEET-tastic” ring entrances of “Main Event” Jey Uso these days?
“The Deadman,” along with his wife, Michelle McCool, spoke about this and more during a recent sit down interview with SHAK Wrestling to promote season two of WWE LFG, which returns tonight at 10/9c on A&E.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview.
On Jey Uso’s long WWE ring entrances: “You look at the reactions that he gets, how long those entrances are. I used to get accused of having a long entrance. My goodness! I’m a sprint to the ring now. The audience is so engaged. He’ll make his entrance, come out of break, still be — ready, going for round two.”
On the short WWE World Heavyweight Championship reign that Jey Uso had and his post-title run thus far: “I don’t think just because he lost, it has to necessarily hurt his place. I don’t think the title is gonna define Jey Uso. He was already well on his way, long before he beat GUNTHER. Yeah, was it a short run? Yeah. It was a little short. But, again, I don’t think that’s gonna define Jey as an attraction, as a draw. He is a bona fide, top-tier guy now and if you worry too much about not being the champion, I think it hinders your creativity. It’s a bump in the road. I don’t think that it’s gonna be a detriment. I think the people who follow things and are always looking for drama on the internet and looking for some reason to be up in arms… It’s overblown. I think Jey is gonna be a main event guy for years to come.”
