the undertaker

The Undertaker has created quite the legacy for himself when it comes to WrestleMania matches, but over the last few years Taker’s WrestleMania matches have been a mixed bag at best.

At WrestleMania 33 he faced off against Roman Reigns in a match that he himself has said “disgusted” him, and at WrestleMania 34 he faced John Cena in a short squash match which saw him pick up the win.

The Undertaker recently revealed on the Bill Simmons podcast that he trained for a 45 minute match with Cena, and he was disappointed to find out they were only going to get 5 minutes.

“That’s why I was so disappointed, because I had all that time in the ring, sparing and going over stuff every other day, and I got to New Orleans and they said this match is going to go 5 minutes. I’m ready to go for 45 minutes, that’s how I trained and at a 45 minute pace I was so dead set. I was so disappointed from the prior year that I had the mindset of: I’m going to tear this up and go at a pace that people normally haven’t seen me at and do things people haven’t seen me do in a long time. I was so prepared and then it was just 5 minutes. We sell entertainment, not time. That was a selfish thing for me, what you saw last year is not where I’m at.”

The Undertaker last competed at WrestleMania 36 where he defeated AJ Styles in the first ever Boneyard Match.
