I would give anything. This man helped me deal with life on a regular basis. I don't think anyone would understand what he means to me.

A man that found God by the advice of his wife, a good woman and mother. A person that has scars, outside and in for a needed reason. All this I say just watching this from the outside.

    It's a sore spot for him. He wanted it to be his own thing, do more creatively with his character. But then they joined the Corporation and it went downhill. Too many guys involved, in the ring. It was just another road stop for the Austin vs Vince story. To him it almost felt like this cool idea he had and was looking forward to was high-jacked to put over a story that wasn't his and quite frankly, Austin vs Vince didn't need the Ministry to become intertwined in the first place. Also 1999 Taker was working hurt for most of it, which lead to him taking time off to heal up and then debuting the American Badass gimmick at Judgement Day 2000

    It's been 41 years i have been watching Undertaker, i am from India, and back then it was really difficult to see such wrestling events as i did not have access to cable or internet, but i used to manage by saving my weekly money and see or read the news on internet twice a month.. very hard times those were. Now, i feel so great full to have these amenities to express myself as a fan of the Undertaker. ❤ What a man you are Mr. Mark.. love you by all my heart.

    Hats off Mr Calaway for reducing the amount of "You know"'s so drastically. There were some interviews a while ago where you said it more than twice a minute, to the point it was overshadowing the great stories you had to tell. Much respect. Not an easy habit to break.

    You gotta understand. Taker was NEVER in front of a camera as Mark Calloway. Always as The Undertaker. Playing a character, you can speak flawlessly. Being yourself after all those years of playing a character, speaking in front of a camera, it’s hard. Especially to be unapologetically yourself after all that time. As he gets more comfortable being himself in front of a camera, it’ll go away completely.

    Their will NEVER be another Mark Calaway in this business. He truly is one of a kind. Which is why i personally feel he was made into the locker room leader he was and to some extent still is. I've been following his career since his first match with Bruiser Brody down in Texas. And as a fan of 40+yrs in this business and also doing some marketing for a local indy fed on the side. I can truly say i knew then that this guy was "extra special" seeing him at his size move in the ring. I think his basketball background heightened that greatly in terms of his agility. Anytime your playing an athletic sport that just sets the bar higher for you in this business. Whether your coming from basketball or football. I think he's looking great for someone close to 60. And i'm glad he's enjoying his retirement he truly deserves every single bit of it. I wouldn't want to see him back in the ring at this stage of his life. I think as Kevin Nash put it he's done everything there is to do in this business. And so it's time to spend the remaining years with his wife and family in terms of giving back to them. And i'm glad he's doing that now. He's left a huge impact and mark on this business and set a bar so very high. It will be difficult for someone else to ever come close to what he's accomplished. But being a bit selfish here i hope know one ever does because that should be reserved for Mark alone.

    +@YankeeRedneck437, I love it, I am 50% of the way through, we finally understood why Taker takes the flag off the Mic, not because his hands are too big, but because Taker feels that it's not a good luck for the character (which makes sense). But the ending of the match in Taker v Hunter II, I thought Taker being exhausted and being carried out was a shoot, I had no idea it was a work, I remember watching that moment and thinking "is Taker dead" as his eyes literally stopped blinking.

    I love this interview. I’ve been a loyal fan since late 1999- the Undertaker has always been my favorite wrestlers of all since becoming a fan. Undertaker was interviewed so many times since the past several years after retiring. But, CVV asks the questions from a long term hardcore fan’s perspective on items that we always wondered about that others don’t normally ask. Major kudos to CVV for taking one for the long term fans, including the smaller details that nobody else would bring up to Mark.

    Mark Calaway (The Undertaker) has from day 1, been my favorite wrestler of all time. In my eyes he is The GOAT. I will be 50 years old in August, the 12th to be exact. I would give anything on this earth to get the chance to meet him just one time. To sit and talk about the old days, would be a dream come true. Can't count how many WWE shows I been to, saw him wrestle but never got that chance to meet him. Like I said, I would give anything. Being the emotional person I am, I would probably cry like a big baby. There is 4 people that I would give anything to meet and Mark is number 1 on that list, then followed by WSM Eddie Hall, and two arm wrestlers Devon Larrat and Monster Michael Todd. Oops, it should be 5, I forgot one, WSM Brian Shaw. These 5 gentlemen saved my life, literally. I will not rest until I can shake all of these hands but especially Mark Calaway.
