The Undertaker after his match with Brock Lesnar a WrestleMania 30

The Undertaker is a remarkable human being.

Not only did The Deadman have a streak of 21 straight victories at WrestleMania before succumbing to an F-5 from Brock Lesnar and losing in New Orleans, he was also an important part of WWE programming for almost 30 years as well. In fact, he is one of two Superstars left on the active WWE roster that has been with the company since The 90's.

With that being said, he has also amassed countless injuries during the course of his career and while some fans probably believe he is invincible, his injury record over the past few years proves otherwise. Not only does his record prove that he is almost incapable of having the matches he used to have, it also proves that trying to do so would be bad for his health.

For example, The Undertaker suffered a massive concussion at the hands of Brock Lesnar during their match at WrestleMania 30 and had to be rushed to a nearby hospital after the match. In fact, the injury was reportedly so bad and everyone was so worried that Vince McMahon, Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar all left the show to visit him.

He was also reportedly injured at The 2017 Royal Rumble after being eliminated by Roman Reigns to set up their match at WrestleMania 33. This is significant due to the fact that The Undertaker wasn't in the ring for a very long time during this match and he was seemingly protected throughout the whole thing. If Undertaker can't wrestle in a Royal Rumble match while being protected, there is no hope of him wrestling one on one again.

In all, Undertaker has suffered, burns, facial injuries, a shoulder injury, a hip injury and multiple concussions throughout his career as a WWE Superstar. If nothing else, one more match could be tempting fate and could leave everyone's favourite Phenom with even more irreparable damage that he will have to deal with for the rest of his life.

It's just not worth it!
