3 reasons why the Undertaker should retire after Wrestlemania 35

The Undertaker will easily go down as one of the most iconic Superstars in the history of WWE. In an unprecedented career spanning 3 decades, “The Deadman” has given WWE fans memories that will last a lifetime.

His run of 21 straight victories at Wrestlemania, famously referred to as “The Streak”, is widely considered as one of the greatest achievements in the history of Sports Entertainment. He has a staggering 26 appearances at Wrestlemania.

No Superstar in the history of WWE has matched the aura of the Undertaker when it came to “The Grandest Stage Of Them All”, and probably no one ever will.

In this article, let us look at 3 reasons why Wrestlemania 35 should be the last for the Undertaker.

3. Nothing left to prove

Is there anything left for the Undertaker to prove to anybody?

Is there anything left for the Undertaker to prove to anybody? He is a 7 time World Champion, a Royal Rumble winner, and of course, has had a stellar run at Wrestlemania.

He has had feuds with the biggest legends of WWE like Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Kane, Big Show, Ric Flair, Randy Orton, Brock Lesnar etc.

He is one of the most respected superstars in the WWE, and has been the face of the company for over a quarter of a century.

Now, having had such an illustrious career, Wrestlemania XXXV will be the right time for “The Phenom” to walk into the sunset.

2. He is well past his prime

The Tag Team match at Crown Jewel between ‘The Brothers Of Destruction’ and ‘D Generation X’ proved that age is indeed catching up with “The Deadman”

For the past 2 years now, The Undertaker has been struggling in the ring. The Tag Team match at Crown Jewel between ‘The Brothers Of Destruction’ and ‘D Generation X’ proved that age is indeed catching up with “The Deadman”.

Right from his match at Wrestlemania XXIII against Roman Reigns, The Undertaker has not been able to force the pace in the ring.

He is now clearly struggling to work in long matches, and has had his fair share of injuries as well.

At 54, ‘The Phenom’ is indeed well past his prime, and should retire from the ring.

1. Might be tarnishing his legacy if he carries on for too long

‘The Deadman’ should realize that he is now just a pale shadow of his former self, and should not overstay his welcome

The Pro Wrestling world has numerous examples to offer where legends have overstayed in the business and tarnished their legacies.

The Immortal Hulk Hogan, one of the greatest Superstars ever in the history of WWE, carried on well past his prime, and struggled to keep pace with other young Superstars in the ring.

The legendary Ric Flair too, wrestled well into his sixties, and labored on for more than three decades.

The Undertaker is one of the greatest Superstars that the WWE has ever seen. ‘The Deadman’ should realize that he is now just a pale shadow of his former self, and should not overstay his welcome.

For a man of the stature of The Undertaker, the best thing that the WWE can do is to induct him into the Hall of Fame Class of 2019, allow him to have one last retirement match, and have him walk into the sunset with his head held high.

So, there you have it. These are the 3 reasons why I feel that Wrestlemania 35 should be the last for the Undertaker.
