Mark Calaway is the nicest guy if he isn't dressed up as The Undertaker. I still remember the first time he was introduced in the 1990 Survivor Series. I was in 4th grade and so obsessed with WWF, TMNT, and The Simpsons.

The guy is probably the greatest imo and he's still so humble never forgets where he came from love listening to the guy . HOF is well deserved and will be an emotional night for Mark and the fans 👏👊

He doesn't have to share everything just know that we love him and congratulations on an amazing career
What makes Taker so great is the fact he knew he had to keep evolving his character so he didn’t go stale. Shawn Michaels, despite being the more talented in ring performer, didn’t grasp that concept. He grew so stale he got booed out of MSG while fans marked out when Sid won the title. John Cena got massively booed despite being the supposed face and working with mega heel Triple H. No one has ever had Taker’s wrestling mind

Truly one of the wrestlers of all time
The Undertaker has raised the Bar so high that I do not think anybody can reach that level. He is the greatest of all time, no questions asked.
The only true King Of The Ring ever in WWE history. The GOAT. Long overdue. More than well deserved. More work done to earn this than he should’ve had to do. Quite frankly he should have this Hall Of Fame class all to himself. The Undertaker will never……… Rest. In. Peace.
Growing up my mom was such a fan she told me the under taker was my dad !n I'm black ! Congratulations! One of the best !
There's no one more fitting to induct Undertaker than Vince McMahon. I'm glad to see him do it.

Just a genuine guy The Undertaker will always be an Icon
It's amazing what the Undertaker was able to accomplish in his career. Little did I know he would last 30 years. I assumed he would be like the other wrestlers and fade away after a couple of years. He was smart in that he developed his character more and took care of his body. He was never afraid to put wrestlers over if he thought it would help their careers. Just a class act all the way. 30 years from now people will still be watching your matches. Congrats Mark Calaway.
Just watched his induction. Like his career, hands down the best induction speech of all time.

This man, this man is the GOAT. My favourite wrestler of all time. I absolutely love and admire Flair, Jericho, Angle, Shawn, Macho, Bret, Eddie, Edge, HHH, Sting, Cena, Austin, Rock, Benoit, Punk, Lesnar, Hall, Orton, Mysterio, Liger, Backlund etc etc etc..... But this guy is THE top of the lot. Just magical and to top it off, what a dude. Could listen to him for hours ❣️⚰️🪦😎
Austin, undertaker, the rock and triple H all carried the business on their shoulders during the attitude era. Omg it was the best era in wrestling, you always had something to talk about on Tuesdays and Fridays in school.
He's top 3 of all time when it comes to wrestlers without a doubt his dedication to the craft was undeniable he captivated me as a child and kept me in awe he always was a team player and rose to the occasion he's a once a generation talent and will always be remembered as a cornerstone and one of the greatest pioneers to face off in the squared circle congratulations and job well done Dead man

I always looked at the Undertaker like the Tim Duncan of the WWF/E you knew what you were getting and you were going to love it.
Out of respect for the undertaker there should be no other Wrestling promotions running shows tonight. It should all be about the deadman

I am 100% sure that he will wrestle or at least chokeslams some guys in the next couple years... give him a bandana, deadman inc hoodie and a chopper.... people go crazy 100%. Like Stone Cold delivering a couple stunners after retiring... just for the show.
The best to ever do it.

The goat in my opinion
My most favorite wrestler, mentor, and human being. TRUE GOAT. He wants to HELP the younger talents and generation. Wow. He is amazing. He made me believe in this sport so much, that I knew I had to do it. 4 years later; LIVING MY DREAM.
Can't wait to see The Goat get in the Hall of fame
The best wrestler ever❤
I am from Nepal .. the only superhero or wrestler that I knew from my childhood is the undertaker what a man … true legend .. he is loved all over the world
I've been a fan of this incredible man since before he was Undertaker. The memories will never Rest In Peace...
Well deserved and what a guy both in and out of the ring. He came at the right time without the internet ect because if say he came now would he have maintained character with all the opportunities for fans to take videos and photos. He imo is the best and for 30 years he kept it going so totally well deserved.
The first time i saw The undertaker , back in the days , i instantly knew that was the character that i was going to follow . After all those years , i still have that same feeling . So , thank you , Mr .Mark .
There will never be another Undertaker he will always be the greatest. Enjoy your retirement.
legend!
This should have a lot more comments.
