Shane stated that The Undertaker cares a lot about his performance in the ring. He added that when The Undertaker picked Hulk Hogan up during their WWE title match and delivered a Tombstone Piledriver, it was clear that The Phenom had protected Hulk's neck during the move. The Immortal One didn't think so, and claimed that his neck was hurting following the Tombstone and the move left him stunned for a second.

When The Undertaker walked through the curtain, he was incredibly upset and distraught and was thinking that he had let WWE down.
A look at the first chapter of The Undertaker's latest special:
The Undertaker's victory over Hogan was the first of his seven World title wins in WWE
The match in question took place at Survivor Series 1991. With Ric Flair's help, The Deadman managed to pin Hogan and win his first WWE title. Over the next two decades, The Undertaker would go on to win 6 more World titles.
The Undertaker's passion for the business and the utmost care he put towards giving the fans their money's worth turned him into one of the greatest Superstars in the history of WWE.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
