The Undertaker disclosed his personal Mount Rushmore of big men in wrestling history.
In a YouTube video on the channel for his podcast, Six Feet Under with Mark Calaway, The Undertaker ranked Big Van Vader at number four, Yokozuna at number three, Kane at number two, and Andre the Giant at number one.
Describing Big Van Vader, The Undertaker emphasised his agility and believability in the ring, particularly highlighting his success in Japan. He praised Vader’s ability to move and perform as a big man, acknowledging his remarkable athleticism and impact on the wrestling scene.
Just I think a classic big man. A big man that could move and I just thought that was the most impressive thing was the big guys that could actually move and be athletes and he was all of that.
Speaking about Yokozuna, The Undertaker lauded his exceptional skills, emphasising his awe-inspiring agility despite his substantial size. He described Yokozuna as a classic big man who carried himself with remarkable presence, portraying him as an incredible force in the wrestling world.
The things that he could do would defy your own sense of logic and reasoning because your mind would tell you there’s no possible way that a man that size can move and do the things that Yokozuna, could do.
The Undertaker expressed his admiration for Kane, acknowledging his versatility and range as a wrestler. He emphasised Kane’s ability to work with any opponent and evolve beyond being just a monster, portraying him as a formidable and athletic competitor with a significant impact on the wrestling industry.
If you were going to start a company, if you were going to start your own wrestling company, you want to start out with a Kane on your roster because Kane could work with anybody. He had so much range and learned how to become more than just a monster.
Undoubtedly, The Undertaker reserved the top spot for Andre the Giant, praising his mythical stature and significant influence as the face of wrestling. He highlighted Andre’s unparalleled abilities and his status as the biggest attraction in wrestling history, acknowledging his remarkable versatility in the ring.
Andre was just a mythical person who travelled around the country. And man, a lot of you didn’t see Andre until the end when his health was in decline. But when Andre was a young man, the things that he could do at the size that he was, he was the biggest attraction in wrestling history.
