While I totally understand what Mark is sharing here, I believe Taker was talking about how old school wrestlers worked under tougher conditions, worked injured, didn’t go online and get their pantries in a bunch over a fan calling them a derogatory name. They had thicker skin.

[@joseph906]

Yeah. People like to pick your words apart. Not get the entirety of what you are trying to say. People think Taker is advocating to go back to the wild west. My parents used to say that they walked to school for miles barefoot through summer and winter. Now obviously they weren't advocating for us to do the same thing, they were advocating for us to toughen up. Now some people who don't like what you are will say "well, are you saying we shouldn't ride in transportation and walk barefoot to school?" taking your words out of context, just as they do with Undertaker.

[@theheavy2742]

They had to have thicker skin because it grew calloused from all the hard drugs.

[@TheLegendarySuperSaiyanBroly]

.............No, @@theheavy2742.

[@DoctorApotheosis]

The two go hand in hand. Those guys were arguably tougher. Because they tolerated or were forced to tolerate a bad, dangerous, and shitty working environment. That bullshit about going online and complaining? If the internet had existed back then, you can bet your ass there would have been guys complaining and lying. They all just did it in person and got away with more. Taker's an amazing preformer. Perhaps the best wrestler ever. But any guy that's friends with JBL, a dude that sexually assaulted other wrestlers as a form of hazing, is probably an asshole. At least passively. He didn't do that shit. But he was the leader of the locker room in a time when that, and numerous other horrible and illegal shit, was just considered an okay thing to do. And complaining about guys for protecting their own welfare in a corporate and digital age by calling them soft....it doesn't sit right. And if it's about the brass ring and standing up to Vince- we know that's bullshit too. Guys like Austin would be fired today and then there would be media rounds about how difficult he was to work with.

[@duatchol7710]

I think the thicker skin comment is also unfair to today’s talents. I mean if everyone one today was allowed to go crazy on roids and drugs like their biggest. Maybe it’d make recovery a lot easier. Not to mention, the only person who’s gotten soft is Vince McMahon, considering he’ll fire anybody that tries to pave their own way and make everybody walk on eggshells

@@HSMike2 Yeah, there's no denying that. The current era wrestlers will live longer, and that's good, but that still doesn't make them more entertaining or increase ratings. WrestleMania was pretty terrible imo. The only reason I'm not cancelling my subscription is because of the old content from 20+ years ago. They need to upload a lot more of it, too. There's a big gap where there's the WCW PPVs pre-Nitro but a lot of WCW TV from, say, Hogan's debut to Nitro's debut where we're missing stuff. Just one example. And don't get me started on the music... especially with the ECW content. Vince is too cheap to pay for the music rights and that part kills me. No RVD theme, no Dreamer theme, no Mike Awesome theme, not even Sandman's theme...are you friggin kidding me? Half of Sandman's appeal was his entrance with "Enter Sandman" playing. Vince can't even respect these guys enough to give them their old themes in the footage he bought. Anyhow, I'll shut up for now.

[@RealLaone]

Not better wrestlers, today's wrestlers got better moves and style, only problem is how they're marketed, boring scripts and not having creative control.

Mark Henry is not completely correct on that, thirty years ago there were athletes with college degrees in pro wrestling. He has forgotten that there were college athletes who graduated and were unable to either get into The NFL or if they did get in were unable to maintain staying there. Some of them made the switch from pro football over to pro wrestling when they fizzled out of The NFL. But that's okay because wrestling benefited from The WWF, The NWA, The UWF, The AWA, WCCW, Windy City Wrestling, etc. accepting them. As far as I'm concern it was a win win for us fans.

Guys like Buzz Sawyer, Dick Slater, and Stan Hansen for example as opposed to the flip, flop and fly guys who are great athletes but don't project an aura of legit toughness.

[@joseph906]

Its like HBK's critique of RVD. RVD is to flashy, so his big moves doesn't carry any weight anymore. For me HBK's moonsault was much more special than RVD's whole repertoire since its more rare. Taker's suicide dive at mania was also something special to watch.

This has happened nationwide over the last 20 years, not just the wrestling business. At this one job I worked at all the supervisors who slowly rose through the ranks over the years were being replaced with kids who have degrees who never worked a day in the field, in the trenches. All the roughneck blue collar bosses with HS diplomas named Johnny Joey Bobby Mikey were replaced with Eli, Noah, Tucker and Brent bc they had a business degree. The locker room used to have penthouse and playboy spreads hanging up on the walls. Cigarette butts on the floors. Guys would drink beers in the company parking lot on Fridays in the summer after work. If you do ANY of that now you're done. Fired. There were no drug policies. They had a "hiring dept" which was really workers who were relegated to the office bc their bodies were shot. Not anymore. Now they have a Human Resources and a place to complain with no retaliation or anything. It SUCKS. I liked the good ol days there.

[@bigdaddy2343]

Right before I left I got into it with this dude Alex. He was like " man you really miss all those uneducated cave men good ol boys? Cos I just described 95% of the workers and office." I said yeah they were tougher and funnier than the guys they're hiring today. " all those guys were racists including the biggest bully of them all. Paul "the Wall" Reinhardt. He was your mentor right ? Now I know you liked the old times I can just imagine what kind of conversations yous two had" Big Paul should have been a wrestler. 6'8 350lbs rock solid, hands like catchers mitts.

I think that is more WWE fault than the wrestlers fault.

First of all I grew up on wrestling since the mid 1970's. I watched wrestling all the way through to the late 90's early 2000's after Vince bought out everything. I did watch some of TNA/Impact for a bit until I couldn't take anymore of Dixie Carter. To me Wrestling was dead. The good old days of real raw bone in your face tough guy bloody action was over. All of a sudden wrestling changed into something I just couldn't recognize anymore. All but a handful of real men who I loved watching raise hell and beat the shit out of each other for my entertainment were gone. We were left with a bunch of soy boy wanna bees who tried acting tough but couldn't and were more girly than anything else. The storylines we're stupid and it was like watching one of your mom's soap operas. Stupid and non entertaining.

These new guys are small, but I understand because of the new wellness policy. They want to keep the wrestlers living longer. Also they did cut the blood out for a while, which is good because they literally had to blade for real. Eddie Guerrero could have died the first time, when he bladed too deep.

Far too many wrestlers of today lack the longevity of generations past and far too many are in it for the wrong reasons. The old school ways were far better and made the overall product more appealing. What happens on the road should stay on the road too. We have a generation of video game playing man-children filling out these rosters now and it's pathetic. Take me back to the day when men were men and wrestlers were larger than life rebels.

I don't get the bashing of some of today's talent

[@nadirsanchez1675]

They suck that's it look am 17 but I don't even watch current wrestling at all I only watch attitude era and ruthless aggression era cus I don't care any wrestler from today there's no star power anymore

[@Foxo-Matti12]

@@nadirsanchez1675 they dont make them important

[@nadirsanchez1675]

@@Foxo-Matti12 in my opinion I think you can't make stars while the product is pg and family friendly just go and watch any raw and smackdown episode from 1999 to 2005 just look at how wrestling back then was much much better than now I can't stand today's product at all

[@nadirsanchez1675]

@Austin Edwards everything taker said is true but you already know the world we living now people getting offended by opinions and so sensitive these dorks really tried to cancel him what a pathetic people I agree man I just find today's wrestling is just very boring the product is clearly for kids and the Mark's

[@jpbart1390]

@@nadirsanchez1675 ever thought of going further back in time with wrestling matches? many of the old ones from the '70s & '80s are fun to watch.

"The wrestlers of 30 years ago were way more entertaining than the the "college graduates" of today." Fact. And let's be honest Mark Henry was never entertaining.

[@graythaprince]

Idk man. The Hall of Pain run was entertaining

[@Trollbane96]

That talking point on Mark's part (and everyone else really who pushes it) is really dumb. Who cares if more of the guys now are college graduates lmfao? That means nothing. It ESPECIALLY means nothing when the business is getting record low ratings and attendance. Meanwhile back in the day, the "uneducated" older wrestlers were drawing millions of viewers and selling out arenas every night. I've ALWAYS hated the "Muh College Degree" argument, even outside of wrestling. It's such an elitist thing people throw at you. Like if you didn't go to college then you're lesser.

[@dwadeisthegoat2020]

Are u serious his 2006, and 2011-2013 hall of pain were awesome

[@Mr-HBK]

Taker shouldn’t say that

[@tsayadyamar7785]

That's why wrestle was so good back then ,bunch of ruff necks who were highly entertaining.... This new shit is horrible!!!!

[@marcroth2844]

WWE just doesn't know how to handle the new stars. Look at Roman Reigns, the dude was miss casted as a character for over half a decade until WWE finally pulled the trigger on him not being a heel, but being HIMSELF!! Becky Lynch is another example with WWE miscasting her as the black sheep of the horse women and not thinking she could be a credible main eventer and yet when she got her face broken and started taking things seriously she became another modern mega star

[@RavenTheLabrador]

I don't agree with Mark Henry at all i don't believe that the undertaker saying that today's wrestler's are soft was for the reason Mark Henry said that was the undertaker said that today's wrestler's are soft for very specific reasons and they were not at all the was Mark Henry is saying.🤷‍♂️👍✌

[@jameslarryaaaaaaaaaaaqasaa1233]

Undertaker said wht he said, And won't be canceled. He can speak his opinion

[@DJYC21215]

If he was nearly cancelled for refusing to put over a fat guy (Bray Wyatt) then he most certainly can be cancelled if he says the wrong thing. You forget how sensitive the soy boys are today.

[@siennabaez282]

Roman Reigns is the goat for this era of wrestling then the WWE had to ram him down our throats... Now roman on 717 days as champion.. Taker has beatin the best and is right Today roster is a bit weak!! Mcmahon scandle is making it worse!!

[@walloptime6898]

I mean, undertaker isn’t wrong.

[@JDwJC11]

Lack of kayfabe ruined wrestling. Everybody knows every about the business. There is no mystique now.

[@TimeLord675]

You can thank Vince and Cornette for that.

MARK HENRY RIGHT ON WRESTLERS ARE SOFT TODAY ?

[@Peatingtune]

The non-PhD/Degree guys from 20-30 years ago were definitely more entertaining. Most of today's characters are just angry guys who hate one another for no reason. The writing is too simple and formulaic and the ratings show it.

[@OtherBarry4908]

I hate how toned down wwe is nowadays

[@debeatz1012]

so in other words back in the day the wrestlers lived the characters and now the wrestlers are just bad actors....... i dont watch that garbage and aint watched in 20 plus years
