WWE has launched a YouTube channel focused on one of the biggest stars in company history, The Undertaker.
As reported by Joe Otterson of Variety on November 19, the specialised channel dedicated to The Phenom has gone live on the streaming platform, and will also serve as the new home of the popular Six Feet Under podcast, which is hosted by Undertaker and his wife Michelle McCool, who was also inducted into the Hall of Fame earlier this year. Although the channel currently has just 329 subscribers at the time of writing, this is expected to grow exponentially over the next few days as the company promotes its latest addition in the digital world. The most popular channel on the platform is the main channel that showcases highlights from current TV and Premium Live Events, and has more than 110 million subscribers, the 11th biggest on all of YouTube.
The most recent episode sees the couple react to some of Undertaker’s biggest moments from Survivor Series, the PPV where he made his debut back in 1990.
WWE’s head of digital, Steve Braband, said the following about the channel in the Variety exclusive:
“It comes very naturally to him, just sitting and talking about wrestling especially, and telling stories. There’s nobody better than ‘Taker. It’s been super fun. We’ve had really good success over the course of the relaunch of [the podcast].”
“We’re going to treat it like how we’ve expanded our YouTube presence, with this one being unique having ‘Taker’s podcast as the centerpiece of the channel and surrounding archive content. We’re really, really excited about it and think it’ll do well.”
The Undertaker channel is now the 15th under the company umbrella, which also includes WWE Vault that showcases classic and unseen footage, along with another channel dedicated to the biggest matches, moments and shows from WCW. An ECW channel is still in the works.
Acclaimed Docuseries On WWE Hall Of Famer The Undertaker Coming To YouTube
As part of the release, it is also noted that The Last Ride docuseries will also be coming soon to the channel dedicated to the Hall of Famer. Premiering on the WWE Network in 2020, the critically acclaimed series saw The Deadman break character like never before to tell the story of his life and career ahead of his final match at WrestleMania 36, which saw him defeat AJ Styles in the cinematic boneyard match. Although the Hall of Famer was previously known for being much more reclusive and seldom giving interviews, The Phenom has since conducted numerous out-of-character media appearances.
