Below are some highlights from the interview:
On listening to your fan base, adapting with the times, changing characters:
“That’s the secret of the product,” Levesque said in a phone interview. “It’s always fresh. It forces you to change. It forces you to morph, to think outside the box and do new things and create new characters and constantly do things. That’s the secret sauce of all this.”
On The Undertaker being at “Raw 25:”
“I understand why people can’t let go of it,” he said of the character. “It’s a hard thing to say that that would be the end. What he has left? I don’t know. We’ll have to ask him. That’s the beauty of WWE. Wait and see.”
“You talk about longevity and the ability to change and morph all those things, he is a measuring stick of all of that,” Levesque said. “That’s why 25 years later they want to see him maybe more now than ever. As a performer he is the measuring stick in a lot of ways, and as a human being as a performer in what we do, as a locker room leader. I respect him more than anybody.”
On Mike Tyson and “Stone Cold” Steve Austin together on “Raw:”
“Austin was on this rocket ship of stardom that he was such a badass, I think people thought, ‘He might beat up Mike Tyson,’” Levesque said. “It just was a whole different level of anything. It wasn’t like Tyson was a Hollywood actor or an NBA player. He was a legit baddest man on the planet.”
