Shiloh Hill speaks on the most significant takeaways he gained from sitting under the learning tree of The Undertaker and all the legends on WWE LFG.
Shiloh Hill was the runner-up to Jasper Troy in the inaugural season of WWE LFG: Legends & Future Greats on A&E. During the show, he was part of Team Undertaker. This meant he had the opportunity to learn from one of the names most closely associated with WWE in the company's history.
During a recent interview with MuscleManMalcolm, Hill states that the Undertaker emphasized to him the importance of seizing opportunities after he failed to deliver a promo during an episode featuring CM Punk. Additionally, he notes that the show's other legends taught him that it's okay to remain humble, regardless of the level of success attained.
"So it's funny in terms of the wrestling, in terms of, like the technical or like the in and outs of the wrestling business, the biggest thing was taking every opportunity. I think you probably saw that that day with CM Punk, where I didn't cut a promo, and then he was upset with me. I was upset with me. Everyone was upset with me," he said. "He very much stressed the importance of taking those opportunities. But I actually think that the the most important thing that he taught me, and that all the legends taught me as well, not through them telling me, but just by example, was: Just because you do all these things and accomplish all these things doesn't mean you have to be like a miserable person to be around. Honestly, all the legends are super cool, super helpful.
"They care so much about us as young wrestlers getting into the business that they were so passionate about. They're just nice guys and girls that want to get to know us and want to help us. So, that is probably the thing that I'll take with me the most further down the line, when any of us do start to have some success or whatnot, just trying to maintain that humble perspective and looking out for the younger people that are coming after you."
