Be it Austin, or Triple H, or John Cena; one thing they all have in common is the intensity that they bring to the ring along with them. The way they carry themselves creates an aura around them. The Undertaker is the Holy-Grail on this one. He doesn’t even need to say a single word, his presence says it all.

That’s the level of “soaked up” one has to be in his character. Only then will the fans connect to them. In other words, you have to believe in your own character first, the fans will follow. Believe that.

The events that transpired at TLC 2015 come to mind. After Rusev and Del Rio cost Reigns the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in his match against Sheamus, Reigns snapped and took down Triple H along with the other three wrestlers. When he won the championship back from Sheamus, it was the one of the first times he got vociferously cheered, in a long time.

Moments like this gets inked in the memory, not because of the sheer brutality, but because of the emotions that pour out.
