James also mentioned that during his time in the company, The Undertaker shared his experience and knowledge with him. Learning things from the one and only Undertaker is beyond incredible.

“He did that to like, so much respect for the business, man and taught me a lot, like to this day, I make sure to say hi and bye to everybody that I come across in a locker room, because of that moment,” Ellsworth added.
