In a passionate speech laced with humour, Taker recalled his wrestling journey and the relationships he forged along the way, thanking his family, friends, and fans.

But at the end of his speech, The Undertaker – real name, Mark Calaway, took a look at the various outfits throughout his career, wore his iconic coat and hat, and said, “Never say never,” seemingly teasing a return to the ring.

In an extraordinary career that spanned three decades, The Undertaker loomed over the WWE landscape like a menacing shadow, spelling out doom for those who dared cross him. Imbued with seemingly mystical abilities and preternatural in-ring skill, the legendary Phenom operated on his own level.

Taker just gave one of the all-time great speeches here. Seemed like all off the dome, too. What a legend.

First introduced at the 1990’s Survivor Series, The Demon of Death Valley was soon battling with Hulk Hogan, then at the top of the food chain in WWE. This clash set the tone for Undertaker’s dominant career. No one was too big, and no one was safe from his gloved grip.
