The Undertaker talks about Roman Reigns and Jey Uso
The Undertaker comes from the traditional school of thought when it comes to pro wrestling, where storytelling is at the crux of everything the talents do. In the interview. he highlighted the importance of good storytelling. (H/t Sportskeeda)
“Storytelling at the root is what we do, and that’s what I try to tell the young talent. Right now, if you watch our product, as gifted as our athletes are, and they are physically unbelievably gifted, more so than eve at any other point. But what we do is storytelling, and you know that’s the most important part, in my opinion. It’s not about the wrestling moves, we use wrestling moves to help tell our stories, but it’s all about – that’s where, that’s what captivates and keeps people interested in what we do.”
He referred to the ongoing storyline involving Roman Reigns and Jey Uso on SmackDown as a perfect example of powerful storytelling. He said it was an immensely important angle to explore, especially for those who come down from Samoan heritage.
“It’s just the mental and heartfelt issues like one of the best things that I’ve seen done on WWE TV recently is the feud between Jey Uso and Roman Reigns. That, to me, has been great storytelling, and people that understand, people that understand the Samoan heritage and legacy, know how important all that stuff is to them. So, to me, it starts and finishes with its story.”
