Steve Austin spoke about why The Undertaker had to be his first guest for his WWE Network series Broken Skull Sessions while doing an interview with Yahoo. Here is what he had to say:
“When we signed on, WWE wanted to come out with a bang, get a huge guest. Undertaker has been doing the Undertaker character for 30 years. In my estimate he’s the best character in the history of the business. To be able to ride that lightning bolt for as long as he did, to make the changes he needed to to stay relevant and fresh, he was our first guest to go after.”
