Being repackaged as Shorty G was the lowest point of Chad Gable’s WWE career. The former Olympian has managed to pull himself up from that position and become a fan favorite with his storyline as El Grande Americano over the last couple of years.
During a recent appearance on Busted Open Radio, Gable revealed a hidden component behind his revival. He revealed that it was WWE veteran The Undertaker, who helped him get out of that mindset:
“I’ll take some of the onus on myself for that because, like, maybe I let all these years of being Shorty G or being a comedy character, which I dove into like I would with anything else, right? And I thought maybe that’s just me. That’s just who I am in this business.
“And it took a while for, it took Undertaker to pull me out of that and say, ‘No, that’s not you. That’s not who you have to be. There’s someone else in there,’ and we found him, man. Thank God. I’m so happy because now I feel more comfortable performing and just existing, living as myself in this business than I ever have,”
