Happy Corbin On The Important Lesson He Learned From The Undertaker
The Undertaker‘s unparalleled career is a tremendous inspiration for not only the wrestling world but the entirety of the sports industry. Moreover, his attention to detail is a distinctive quality that made him stand out.
In a recent episode of WWE After The Bell, with Corey Graves, Baron Corbin recalled the conversation he had with the Hall of Famer, that really influenced him.
“That man is an icon. We know that. We’ve had these conversations,” said Corbin. “How [Undertaker] carries himself as a star. He demands attention. He’s another details guy, he thinks about every little thing he is doing. It’s not the match, it’s not the moves.”
“He’s piecing together like these ten thousand piece puzzles and worrying about every detail. [Undertaker thinks like] how long do I wanna walk to the ring, how long do I wanna stand on the third step before I get in the ring. Those are things that 99% of people don’t think about. They don’t take the time to appreciate those details.”

Further, the SmackDown star spoke about the time he was talking to Taker at the Royal Rumble for 40 minutes. The Deadman advised him “how to poise himself after doing something“.
Corbin said that the thing that makes The Undertaker different from everybody else, is the picking up of details. ” [He’s one of the] best big guys ever. I gravitated to him. I watched guys like Bam [Bam Bigelow] and [Big] Boss Man, and ‘Taker and Kane and those guys that were big and athletic,” added Happy Corbin.
