The Undertaker Calls Out Whiny Wrestlers for Complaining About Booking Online

The Deadman isn’t here for your social media whining.

On a recent episode of his Six Feet Under podcast, The Undertaker sounded off on younger wrestlers who complain about their booking online—but ignore valuable advice when it’s given to them.

For The Undertaker, it’s not just about respect. It’s about learning from those who’ve already made it to the top. And he’s clearly frustrated by what he’s seeing.

“It’s a head-scratcher. It’s not even a thing like, ‘Oh, you’re an old-school guy, it’s always about respect.’ I mean, part of that, yeah—but it’s more about learning.”

Taker explained that if you’re not getting the top spot, the smartest thing to do is study those who are—and figure out what you’re missing.

“If you’re not on top, that’s what you should be striving to do. So I wanna watch who’s on top, I wanna watch what they’re doing and figure out what I’m not doing. It’s simple. Where else are you going to learn?”

And yet, instead of doing that, some talent choose to hit up social media with complaints about creative, which The Undertaker finds completely backwards.

“You can watch it on the monitor and see it perfectly. That’s just genius. You can’t get that kind of feedback and learn things and then have to hear people get online and start bi****** about, ‘Ahh, I’m not getting booked the right way. I’m not doing this.’”

But what really grinds his gears is the wasted mentorship—young wrestlers asking for advice only to ignore it completely.

“What really pi**** me off is when I go and people will come up and be like, ‘Hey, you got anything for me?’ And then I take the time out of my—you know, because I obviously watch. So you ask me for feedback, I give you my time, and then you don’t even apply it.”

The Phenom made it clear: don’t ask for help if you’re not going to take it seriously.

“There’s a few people… it’s almost like they just wanna be seen. It’s just lip service. They never apply it. Why ask me if you’re not gonna apply it?”

“I hate telling people over and over again and you don’t apply it. Like, don’t waste my time!”

“I’m telling you what worked for me. It may not work for you. But what you’re doing—maybe it ain’t working anyway. So why not try?”

Despite the tough love, The Undertaker still wants to help—but only if it’s real.

“So don’t bother me. I don’t want it to look like ‘don’t bother me,’ but I do want to help.”

With decades in the business, multiple WrestleMania main events, and the respect of generations of talent, The Undertaker’s words carry serious weight. But he’s made it clear—if you’re not willing to listen and learn, don’t waste his time.
