The latest Undertaker: The Last Ride documentary has divided the opinion of fans. Many have been wondering if it’s the right thing for the Dead Man to break his character so publicly now after keeping the kayfabe alive for decades and former Universal Champion Seth Rollins has some interesting comments on it.

Seth recently appeared on the After The Bell podcast of Corey Graves to talk about a number of different things. During the interview, he also discussed the latest documentary series on the Dead Man and Rollins interestingly claimed that it was the right time for Taker to produce the series because his character doesn’t work today:

“The smart thing about this with Taker is, he did it at the right time in his career… 12-year-old you, if you had seen The Last Ride, it would have ruined everything. But we didn’t have that. His character doesn’t work today. There are some weird exceptions, Bray Wyatt comes to mind from an ultra-character perspective who sort of slides by a little bit or gets a pass.

“The Undertaker character is so supernatural, so now that he’s at this point in his life where he is comfortable transitioning out of the character and into Mark Calaway,” said Seth Rollins ”It makes it okay for me to watch it and see him being a human being.”

The Monday Night Messiah also responded to the controversial comments from Jim Cornette about the pregnancy of Becky Lynch during the same episode. Rollins said that Cornette’s comments caught him off guard and they hurt his feelings on a personal level.
