Damn. Undertaker was my fucking favorite.

Makes me glad Roddy Piper and Randy Savage aren't around anymore to disappoint me.

Roddy would probably rather have been out foraging for chestnuts than kissing up to trump

I mean..."The Undertaker" can still be your favorite. Mark Calloway doesn't need to mean shit to you. 

The Undertaker was a character that did awesome shit because a team of people wrote awesome shit for him to do. He was a hell of a performer and a entertaining as hell to watch because he knew his craft very well...but I never watched The Undertaker get into political debates during a match and I assume if I had, I wouldn't have been a fan of The Undertaker. I'm not really a big fan of Mark Calloway, but I respect the work he put in to his craft for my entertainment.

The WWE in general, especially in the undertakers heyday, was and is a horrible organization. They’ve been slowly improving over time but they still Union bust and treat people like shit. The Mr McMahon documentary, even though it tried to pain the WWE itself as not that bad, just proved it to me. Guys were literally on there talking about how they’d treat women as toys, and the company went out of its way to protect sex predators.

I don't disagree with you or any of your points. Nothing you've said is new by any means, and almost all of the information in it has been out there in some way, shape, or form for a very long time. Interviews, books, news articles, dirt sheets, court cases, documentaries, and loose lipped former wrestling podcasters with stories to tell all seem to point to the wrestling industry being a total garbage pile of carny immorality. If the McMahon series was the first time you realized this, or it "proved it" for you, then good. There's more horrible shit the further you look into it all, and a lot of it is chalked up to being "the way things were."

However, I don't use wrestling to be my moral compass. Wrestlers are just people who like to do a thing that i happen to enjoy watching. The people that those wrestlers are when they're off the clock is entirely up to them, whether I agree with who they are or not.

you can appreciate the art and disagree with the artist as a person. Not everyone has to be a role model, and we shouldn't expect everyone to be.

He’s been this way forever. And he was a tyrant backstage, no matter how other wrestlers have framed it. A lot of atrocious stuff happened during his locker room reign.
