Here's What Venkatesh Iyer Said During 'Knights Dugout' Show
"I like it for the storyline. Of course I know, but I hate it when someone says it's fake. I really hate it. I started watching it when there was no social media. So I used to think that the characters shown on the screen were true. For the longest time, I believed Undertaker saat bar mar ke zinda hua hai (Undertaker died 7 times, and resurrected the same number of times)," said Venky Iyer, when asked about his craze and love for WWE and its wrestlers.
"But by the timeI realised that it was not true, I was already too deep into this fandom. I could not come out of it. Yes I carry the belt. Yes it is WWE Championship. No, I like it, I see the moves and try on my teammates. It feels nice. I feel like I am dominating them," he added, when asked about why he carries his WWE Championship belt everywhere and his desire of performing their finishers (the wrestling moves).
