The Undertaker believes a popular faction's run was cut short by WWE

WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker recently shared his take on The Ministry of Darkness, a faction he led during the Attitude Era. The Phenom claimed that the stable could have had a longer run.

In October 1998, Paul Bearer turned on Kane to rejoin The Undertaker, which resulted in the latter announcing the formation of The Ministry of Darkness. Several major superstars, including Bradshaw, Faarooq, Viscera, Edge, Christian, and more, joined The Deadman later. Unfortunately, the heel faction was disbanded within a year of its formation.

During the most recent edition of his Six Feet Under with Mark Calaway podcast, The Undertaker opened up about The Ministry of Darkness. The 59-year-old mentioned that the faction got watered down despite having the potential to have a run of at least two or three years. However, he stated that he was proud of the run it had.

"It definitely had the legs to go on if it hadn't gotten watered down the way it did. Probably a 2, maybe 3-year run out of that. I think there was so much that we still had left that we could have done to push the envelope and people to work with. But it had its place in my run, and I'm pretty proud of it because it came at a time where I really felt like I needed an evolution, and I think it resonated," he said. [H/T: WrestlingNews.co]

The Undertaker opens up about his appearance at WWE WrestleMania XL

The Undertaker's most recent appearance was at WrestleMania XL, as he helped Cody Rhodes finish his story. He sneaked into the squared circle after the lights went out to hit The Rock with a Chokeslam.

During a previous edition of his podcast, the former WWE Champion stated that his appearance at this year's Show of Shows gave him closure, which was missing after his final match. The WWE legend's last match was the Boneyard match against AJ Styles at WrestleMania 36:

"Something happened this weekend, and I’ve been struggling with it since I retired. But this weekend gave me closure. It really did. It was fun, obviously, it was fun. I mean, doing this for as long as I have and being involved in that, and how important that storyline was and is, but when it was over, and I’m running out of the building, I’m like, I’m good now... My last match was in the Boneyard, there’s nobody there, cinematic. It was like a moment of clarity, like, I’m okay now," he said. [From 1:11:50 to 1:12:55]

Later on in the podcast, The WWE Hall of Famer mentioned he is open to similar appearances in the future.
