Why The Undertaker shouldn't come back for WrestleMania 34

#4 He would be flouting his own words

2018 Undertaker should listen carefully to 2003 Undertaker.

There, he made the very wise statement that he didn't want to be seen as "past his prime" or be an object of pity. Unfortunately, that's been the case for several years. There's no way that fathers of today can tell their sons that Undertaker now is as good as he was before the little ones were born.

It's become more a pity party every year he returns for "one more match." As a fan, it's sad to see.

No one has bad memories of Shawn Michaels, for example, because he went out near the top of his game. It's much the same with athletes in other sports because they decided to go out when they still had some gas in the tank. Undertaker has been running on fumes and the result has been bad memories, which is exactly what he said he didn't want to see. The time to retire was years ago.

For his own sake, I hope he doesn't return. He's done everything there is to do. Staying longer, wearing out his welcome a little more each year, has already damaged his legacy and will do so as long as he keeps coming back.

Let's hope the rumours are wrong, as they often are.
