The Undertaker may be retired from in-ring competition, but for many years his matches at WrestleMania were some of the most talked about performances coming out of the Show of Shows.
At WrestleMania 33 The Undertaker was defeated by Roman Reigns in the main event, but it was clear to anyone who watched the match that Taker’s days in the ring were coming to an end.
During a recent appearance on the Victory Over Injury podcast The Undertaker discussed his match with Roman Reigns and why it was so disappointing to him.
“It was disappointing to me, and I knew in January when I was in the (Royal) Rumble. You could tell I was overweight, I was out of shape, but I knew what they wanted to do. It was important for me to pass the baton on or do what I could for Roman, who’s the next generation. It was just a bad, bad deal. That was probably as honest a moment as you’ll ever see in wrestling. Me taking that hat and coat and putting it in the ring, because I knew at that point I was done. I was so disappointed. Anything else I’d ever accomplished, I couldn’t think of that. I couldn’t think of WrestleMania 25, Houston with Shawn Michaels, all those thoughts were gone. It was, “You just stunk the joint out and you let a lot of people down.”
