#1 The Undertaker had a memorable final run in WWE
The Undertaker is by far WWE's ever greatest creation when it comes to iconic characters. The Undertaker performed for nearly three decades and gave us many memories with his Deadman persona.
The Undertaker had 'almost-retired' many times before his final farewell in 2020. After numerous WrestleMania matches over the years, there was always speculation that it was going to be The Deadman's final hoorah.
In 2020, every member of WWE Universe's worst fear happened. The Undertaker announced he would be saying his goodbyes at the Survivor Series pay-per-view. It was an iconic ending with numerous rivals and friends from The Undertaker's career and life coming to the ring to honor his career. Sadly, there were no fans in attendance because of the ongoing Covid-19 Pandemic.
The Undertaker appeared on the Victory Over Injury podcast to discuss his farewell:
"I’d already come to peace with my decision, but it was really real once I put the hat and coat on. Knowing I was putting the hat and coat on for the last time and walking to the ring in that capacity, it was tough. It was probably best that I didn’t say much more than I did or I would have killed 30 years of work and turned into a blubbering idiot. It was a tough moment. I had already come to grips with the fact that I had gotten everything out of this sponge that you’re going to get, but when I put the hat and the coat on, things feel different. ‘I might have one more in me.’ No, that was it." The Undertaker said (h/t Inside The Ropes)
The Undertaker has yet to be seen on WWE television since his farewell, but we are sure that one day he will take his rightful place in the WWE Hall of Fame. This will also mean he will receive a farewell in front of a sold-out crowd at WrestleMania the following night.
