The Undertaker was involved in the first match Tom ever watched as a wrestling fan and has been one of his favorites ever since. He believes the perfect retirement story for The Deadman was already told at WrestleMania 33, but that another great story can be told.

The culmination of the New Face of Fear

"For me, The Undertaker told a perfect story with Roman Reigns. Not just with the hat and coat being put down, the kiss to his wife and the stride off into the sunset but for me, the fact that he couldn't get up for the Tombstone was part of it. The sit up that he couldn't manage. That iconic Taker moment being missed. He didn't look like The Undertaker. He looked human.

Now I get that that's not what they were going for but for me that's the right way to do it. To go out not because it's time but because you are physically incapable of continuing. I find it a shame that they weren't able to stick with it but if the man can wrestle then that's his choice.

There aren't many now who could retire Taker but if that's what we get it should be someone with equal commitment to the character, equally infallible drive. For me, it has to be Bray Wyatt.

Nobody else has the charisma, the determination and the ability. If we are looking for someone who will carry on for decades being a character that is absolutely unforgettable, Bray is the man. No Firefly Fun House. No Boneyard. Two men in a ring. One of whom just can't go any more."
