WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker appeared at San Diego Comic Con (SDCC) on Thursday.

The Phenom, who was part of the very first episode of WWE’s Monday Night RAW back in 1993, made a surprise appearance at the Mattel panel for WWE, and YouTuber “Live In The Moment” posted some video of the panel discussion. In the video, ‘Taker talks about the inaugural episode of RAW from January 11, 1993 and how it “revolutionized the wrestling business.”

You can check that out below:

Discussing the first RAW show: “We were excited that we were going to be live and all that, but we had no idea that this was about to revolutionize the wrestling business. At that point, we would do three weeks of TV, three days in a row, then we’d be out touring. At that point, let me see if I can be politically correct, all we worked was extras. They used to be called jobbers. If you’re an ex-jobber, don’t be woke and cancel me. You can’t, but go ahead [laughs]. That’s how we did business.

On a live show ushering in the ‘modern era’ of wrestling TV: “Then, Monday Night Raw comes along and we’re going to be live every Monday night and it really did change the scope of the wrestling business. You would have Undertaker vs. somebody else in an enhancement match. Now, you have top guys going against top guys every Monday night because you have to have ratings. If you were to keep a live show, you had to put the best out there that you could. Probably one of the greatest things to happen to wrestling in the modern era was going live with Monday Night Raw.”

The Undertaker officially retired at Survivor Series 2021 and was inducted into WWE’s Hall of Fame earlier this year at WrestleMania 38 in Dallas, Texas.
