The Undertaker, one of the most unique and iconic characters in professional wrestling history, recently provided fans with fascinating insights during a Q&A session on his Patreon page. The Dead Man touched on various topics, including his Hall of Fame speech, the anticipated Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk boxing match, and his favorite ring gear.
The Undertaker revealed his post-American badass attire as his top choice when asked about his preferred ring gear due to its comfort and functionality.
“My favorite gear was the singlet with the kind of leather-ish-looking pants. I guess it was the modified Undertaker that I came back after the American badass run where I kept the pants but went back… you know, had the singlet, the MMA gloves. It was just the most comfortable to move around. I never really liked the tights but I say that and I see a lot of people what they wear and it’s like… a little decorum please, as far as ring gear. But the leather pants, the singlet, the duster, the hat, MMA gloves, that was probably my favorite.”
The Undertaker also mentioned some of his less favored outfits, including the python pants from his Survivor Series 2000 match against Kurt Angle and the bat wings he wore for his match against Mankind at Madison Square Garden in Survivor Series ’96.
“I didn’t like the Python pants and I didn’t like the Undertaker pirate kind of look where I took the bat wings and I descended into the garden. That was so much cooler in my brain. The application wasn’t quite as cool as it was in my brain. In my brain, I was like ‘This is scary. This is gonna be so scary people are gonna freak out’ and then I just kind of looked like a jacked-up Gene Simmons.”
In addition to gear preferences, The Undertaker shared a humorous anecdote about Triple H teasing him for his worn-out boots, highlighting his reluctance to change his gloves, knee pads, and boots frequently.
The Q&A session provided fans with an intimate look at The Undertaker’s career, showcasing the evolution of his character and the thought process behind some of his most memorable appearances. The Dead Man’s reflections continue to captivate wrestling enthusiasts, offering a deeper understanding of the legend behind the persona.
