As noted, Big E. recently spoke with Sportskeeda for an interview, during which he talked about the ongoing “30 Days of The Deadman” celebration in honor of the 30th anniversary of The Undertaker in WWE.
The former New Day member explained why “The Phenom” is viewed as the godfather of wrestling, and shared his thoughts on the new WWE Untold: The Phenom & The Legend Killer documentary special that premiered on the WWE Network after the WWE Hell In A Cell 2020 pay-per-view this past Sunday.
“Man, I guess you can think about so many incredible things he’s done during his career,” said Big E. “I just watched…I think the WWE Untold with Randy [Orton] and ‘Taker and that was incredible. Just going back to their feud. But for me, what I think of is just the times backstage. I’ve been fortunate to call him a co-worker in many ways. Even though he’s still ‘that guy,’ he’s kinda thought about as the godfather of wrestling in many ways.
“I think back to backstage, talking to him, meeting his kids, hearing that his kids are New Day fans,” he said. “I remember a conversation where he told me, ‘Man, I watched you when you first came up and I had no idea you had as much personality as you showed.’ So just hearing that, that backstage conversation, I don’t remember where it was but just being backstage.”
Big E. added, “And just getting that…it just made my day. Really made more than just my day to be complimented by a guy like that, a man of his stature was incredible.”
