4. The Undertaker (Again)

God forbid The Undertaker's words get taken out of context, and nor should they. It's important to note that 'The Deadman' thought all of this, or at very least said it all knowing that people would know he thought it.

On how locker rooms have changed, he said;

“In that era of guys, too, those were men. You go into a dressing room nowadays and it’s a lot different. I remember walking into my first real dressing room, and all I saw were some crusty f*cking men. Half of them had guns and knives in their bags. Sh*t got handled back then.
Now you walk in, there’s guys playing video games and f*cking making sure they look pretty. It’s evolution, I guess. I don’t know what it is, but I just like those eras, man"

The comments were made to Joe Rogan in a 2021 podcast, decades removed from anybody caring about this stuff anymore. Wrestlers old and new spoke out against the sheer silliness of the take, while different wrestling company's pushed a more progressive performer as their World Heavyweight Champion.
