Liv Morgan Recalls Taking Her First Bodyslam, The Undertaker Didn’t Like HBK As A Human Being

During a recent appearance on the “No-Contest Wrestling” podcast, Liv Morgan commented on training for WWE and taking her first bodyslam from Nia Jax.

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On taking her first bodyslam: “We were training in the same class when I had started. We were learning body slams and Nia Jax gave me a body slam, my first ever body slam. I just remember being like ‘Wow, are they all gonna feel that way?’ I just was like ‘Holy s***, if that’s what this feels like every single time…’ So yeah, I just remember that just being like a ‘oof’ moment.”

On how it feels to work in a ring: “It’s held up by steel posts, layered with planks of wood, and then there is a thin, kind of like styrofoam, thin padding then wrapped with a canvas super tightly to compress it all. It’s not bouncy; it’s not soft. If you jump, you’re not going to get any additional height. It’s a hard floor. There’s no give.”

The Undertaker wasn’t a big fan of Shawn Michaels as a human being back in the early days of their careers, but he enjoyed working with him in the ring.

While appearing on a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, The Undertaker commented working with The Heartbreak Kid. He said,

“I didn’t care for him as a human being, but there’s nobody that I would rather be in the ring with. Now that right there is a huge statement. I’ve been in the ring with greats. I’ve been in there with the Mount Rushmore greats. Shawn had the ability. He could have a five-star match with a broomstick.”

He continued, “We just had this magic chemistry that I knew anytime that I was in a match with Shawn, all I had to do was be Undertaker, and he was going to be Shawn Michaels. It was just going to go [smoothly].”
