And he saw G Fuel, and Dr Disrespect, as the perfect partners.

He explained, “I quickly Identify G Fuel as that partner, why? Because gaming is a young 18 to 23 years old demographic. G Fuel is a leader in their industry. They had on the roster that point Dr Disrespect and they had him from the time he had 5000 followers to who he became at that point of time.”

 “And there is an opportunity when I pitched and spoke to some of the folks of at G Fuel to bring both of The Undertaker’s world and Dr. Disrespect’s world together. Which to your point different generations and everything is different. When you put it together, there is the storyline. And what is WWE all about? A storyline.”
