The Undertaker’s WWE Contract Has Changed

The Undertaker recently appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience. The Undertaker talks a variety of topics such as his current WWE contract situation, as well as, the use of steroids back in that era.

The Undertaker spoke about stars using marijuana, pain killers, and alcohol to cope with the schedule they had to endure:

“You got to cope with the pain somehow. Everything’s kind of led up to this drug protocol now. We didn’t have doctors or trainers back then. Now we travel with trainers, doctors, there’s all kinds of protocols. Our industry has come a long way, they really take good care of our athletes nowadays. There was a time where everybody had to be jacked. There was a stigma that you have to be 300 pounds, in our heads [the wrestlers], I got to be 330 pounds. Now, we test for everything.”

During the interview, The Undertaker stated that he is no longer under a talent contract but now a legends contract. Taker had the following to say about the guideline change that comes with the contract:

“I can only say what I’ve had to go through. Before I switched my contracts and now I’m not a talent, I’m a legend, I’d only work 2-3 times a year but I was still under a regular contract. Under a regular contract you have to have 4 mandatory piss tests and two blood tests every year. They’d get to the end of the year and I’d get a call [to do a piss test]. I hadn’t been in the ring for 6-7 months but they’d look in their book and say s–t, we forgot about him. They’re totally random, they just show up, you never know when they’re going to show up. I was home, that’s why I didn’t get tested until the very end. I know what the protocol is and if anybody would’ve got out of it, it would’ve been me and I didn’t get out of it.”
