What did Roman Reigns and the others say about these statements by The Undertaker?

During an interview on the Sports Illustrated Media Podcast, Roman Reigns gave out his reaction to this controversy.

He said, “We do the same job. It’s not like the bumps got any worse or any better. You’re always hearing ‘a drop kick was a finish back in my time.’ A dropkick is like the second move you see in a wrestling match nowadays.”

Further, Roman Reigns claimed he feels The Undertaker misspoke. Reigns added, “It’s strange. I really feel like he misspoke. Because Mark is a really good guy. He’s very knowledgeable. Obviously, he has a ton of respect for the business.” (H/T: Sports Illustrated)

Xavier Woods, Cedric Alexander, and former WWE superstar Aiden English took to Twitter to reveal their hostile reactions.

I wouldn’t be the person that I am without the guidance and lessons of a few key people from the previous generation of wrestling. They taught me about the business, to save my money, & that having video games in the locker room is healthier than having [redacted]. Thank you guys

I understand where someone from his era and time thinks this. Nothing but the utmost respect.

However – in the 2020’s I think it’s amazing! It’s a lot of fun and camaraderie for the locker room!
