At the end of the day, I think Vince realized the Streak was more about Undertaker than anyone else, and it would've been unfair to him to sacrifice the streak as 'stepping stone' for some younger guy. In hindsight, I'm glad it was Brock, someone who was already well established, experienced, and physically fit. I would've _hated_ if they gave the Streak up to some newbie all for the sake of 'pushing younger talent.' I think Taker's done that enough in his career, and I think the Streak deserves better than to be used for something like that

Due to him being the closest thing to the undertaker. Both very different persona but I mean in the concept of the supernatural gimmick that actually work well. I didn’t feel P***ed about Brock winning I am a Brock fan but he really didn’t need it. The thing is WWE always struggle to push talent and this was one time they needed to do it.

Or any of the members of The Shield would have been fine with me too tbh. Brock did not need to take the streak at that point in his career; he was headlining everything, never had to remind older fans how bad his promo work is by having Paul fucking Heyman as his promo, and had some storylines going. I also lowkey wish he would have retired undefeated, or at theeast after his match at Wrestlemania XVIII.

Never ever Roman Reigns, and my reason being is that his status would not have elevated him, rather than just sinking the Undertaker. Brock Lesnar made more sense for all people. Bray Wyatt, maybe, but does not feel right. If JBL would have been active, then yes. That would most certainly elevated him. Roman is just what WWE want to shove down our throat, Wyatt would have had too much negative heat. Lesnar made, again, sense from an athletics point of view. This is just my view and opinion though

So awesome! There are hours that I would like to talk to this guy. Thank him for 30 years of always being there. When the business dropped, when the business soared.... there was always “The Undertaker”. Thank you!

I love how down to earth and friendly Mr. Callaway speaks. Nothing but respect

So strange to see him smiling, animated and well......ALIVE. He is quite a personable guy and nice to see how much respect he had for the fans. All those years where he stayed in character even on the street; nice to see what the real Mark can be like now.

About a month or so after I started watching Raw, I saw my first pay-per-view event. In the second to last match, it was Undertaker vs. Mankind in Hell in a Cell. It was the one where Undertaker throws Mankind off the top and then he ends up coming back to finish. It was amazing to watch that and definitely hooked me for a while. It's amazing the career a guy like Mark has had. While I didn't appreciate it as much when I was younger, the things these guys put their bodies through is incredible.

We will forever remember you in years to come ,But the phenom lives forever.

I was at supershowdown, the entire card was amazing and seeing wrestlers live was a huge thing, especially when their people like Buddy Murphy, HHH and the Undertaker

I love how open the undertaker has been about his career lately, surprised even. I was always took him for a guy who's really private about it, kept to him self outside the ring or maybe just didn't have the time of day to talk about it, cuz u hardly seen him in interviews or being anywhere to represent the wwe sharing as much stories as he is now, but I'm sure that had more to do with adding Mystique to The Undertaker, so that you only ever saw him in character. But Just listening to him talk about it you can tell he's satisfied with the conclusion of his career, and is excited to share the passion of his craft with the fans & media who appreciate it. It's no wonder he kept going even after the wear and tear was clearly showing. that being said, I don't think there is a wrestler in the business who has a better connection with the fans than he does. I hope he enjoys his retirement continues to get mad love and respect, he deserve it

Wow, what a great guy. Haven't seen a lot of interviews of his over the years but that's the main thing I noticed listening to that. He's had a great career, earned a lot of money and has impacted so many lives but still very down to earth and a top guy by the sounds of it. "Treat people the way you want to be treated", very well said Taker 🙏. For me the greatest WWE superstar of all time.

Nice hearing him so down to earth, I became a wwf fan the same year he joined in 1990 & he'll always be my number one wrestler of all time.

Its nice to see hes got every drop of enjoyment out of his career and he really doesnt want it anymore and is satisfied

Amen to that.. "TREAT OTHERS IN THE WAY YOU WOULD WANT TO BE TREATED!"

man we will definitely miss you. My #1 wrestler for 20 years

I could and would watch this non stop for 24 hours straight. What an amazing human being behind the extraordinary character. The entire industry was an end of an era the day The Undertaker retired. Ain't nobody else can ever say that and his legacy has truly walked immortality home. I took The Undertaker for granted because I could never imagine a time without him on our WWE screens. I never wanted to.

The First match I saw that the Undertaker was in was at WrestleMania 22 in Chicago when he faced Mark Henry in a Casket Match I will never forget his entrance It was nothing short of perfection I was in amazement when the fire started to show and I was frozen in time I just wish I could have witnessed it in person which is one of my dreams Just to see man who is WrestleMania Shawn Michaels can say he's Mr. Wrestlemania but the Undertaker is WrestleMania

I could listen to taker tell stories and talk about the business all day long!! It's just so nice to finally hear his side of the story and his take on things!! In my opinion he is the goat of professional wrestling!! The tom brady the Micheal Jordan the babe Ruth of wrestling is the undertaker

Legendary

GOAT without a shadow of a doubt. The titles, the athleticism of a man his size, the best character, the person, the longevity and relevance across eras. He's just the fucking best!

Today's thanksgiving.I'm 33. I've been watching wrestling since before I can remember.so being born in 87, I saw the taker debut.and I've never heard him talk until today. Not anything I wouldn't expect, but I couldn't imagine it.the duo of him n kane. N they were brothers than they weren't then they were enemies so on n so forth.

Seeing this in 2021. Undertaker talks about Bray Wyatt and his character "The Feind". While we knew, in this very moment, that WWE released him. We all know "Super Natural" -characterwise. The Feind was as close to an Undertaker as you could get, these days. Specially if you think that pretty much everyone would have said that Super Natural Gimmick would not work anymore. In the end it didn't! Not because Bray was not able to showcase that character properly, but because Vince and WWE had no idea what to do, how to capitalize on that run of Bray and dropped the ball.

Watching Taker talk about grinding it our for however many days in a row or a year with actual lightning in the background? #ThankYouTaker

What a fucking great guy Taker is. No wonder he lasted so long

I'm so happy for the undertaker and the man behind him Mark Calaway. It would've been really selfish for me wishing to watch him wrestle for more time. He earned every single moment of his retirement.

We need a book written Taker!

The legend I can't believe he is gone.... I grew up with watching him. I got pictures with him n kane and Paul bearer from the attitude era. And I got pics with the rock from knoxville tn that's when I got pics with em that was long ago

I'm actually curious as to why he never won the Intercontinental championship. My only guess is that he was always being wasted by Vince by being put up against all those lame giants who had zero wrestling ability( the Great Khalis and the Giant Gonzalez' of the world). He will always be the greatest of all time, I don't care how many titles Flair or Cena or anyone else has won, Taker didn't NEED the title to be relevant and I think I can vouch for most fans when I say that every Wrestlemania that went by, people wanted to see Undertaker's match more than the WWE title match.
