The Undertaker is one of the greatest wrestlers to ever step foot inside the squared circle. As such, he could pass on a lot of knowledge he gained during his three-decade career to the younger generation. Taker felt that although today’s Superstars have made way more money than they did during that time, they are missing one major factor.

During a Q&A, especially for the patreons, The Undertaker stated that the stars of this generation don’t need any advice. The company is doing great business right now, as last year was the most successful year in WWE’s history. However, The Phenom said that if a wrestler wants to go far in his career, he or she should learn the art of storytelling.

The 58-year-old legend further added that today’s Superstars should learn how to strike a balance between storytelling and in-ring wrestling. Taker claimed that if a wrestler only focuses on fancy and dangerous moves, their careers are not going to last long. The Deadman expressed his desire to go out there and be a part of the growing business, but admitted that his age has caught up to him.

I mean, I wish they would storytell more and do a little less Cirque du Soleil, but I mean, evidently they tolerate it. You might want to learn how to tell a story because your career is not going to last very long during the stuff that you're doing.

The Undertaker last appeared on WWE NXT when he chokeslammed Bron Breakker. Although fans realize that they can’t witness The Phenom in his prime anymore, they always wish for a special appearance. Therefore, it will be interesting to see whether the Hall of Famer appears at WrestleMania 40 or not.

The Undertaker might have considered to return only under one condition

The Undertaker has wrestled many legendary stars in his illustrious career. However, if there was any wrestler he didn’t get a chance to perform with, it was The Icon, Sting. Recently, after the latter’s retirement, Taker teased changing his plans to make a return to pro wrestling.

During the Q&A, The Deadman admitted that he might have returned if Sting hadn’t announced his retirement. Taker hilariously mocked the 64-year-old for ruining their plans to deliver the dream match fans were waiting for.

Well, I mean, if Sting hadn't retired, maybe. He ruined the whole thing. I got new knees and he went and had to go and retire… Oh my gosh, we're going to get so much heat for that.

Taker had his last match in WWE against AJ Styles at WrestleMania 36 and ended his career on a positive note. Meanwhile, Sting experienced a similar kind of ending as he retained the AEW tag titles by defeating the Young Bucks. Although fans will never witness a dream match between the two legends, they certainly enjoyed their individual careers with their own eyes.
