WWE legend The Undertaker recently had a conversation with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated on a number of topics, most especially on WrestleMania 37 and how he was fine all the way until that first ballyhoo of fireworks and how he kept thinking to himself that he should have been on the show. Taker also said so much of his history revolves around WrestleMania and there was a bit of an emotional tug of the heartstrings watching this year's event, but it’s time for him to step aside and let this next generation have the reins and go where they are going to go.
Undertaker said, “I was fine all the way until that first ballyhoo of fireworks.” “Fortunately, I was home, which made it a little easier, but going through the show and watching, I kept thinking to myself, ‘You should be there.’"
“I had to work through that. It’s a little difficult once WrestleMania starts. I started second-guessing myself. So much of my history revolves around WrestleMania. There was a bit of an emotional tug of the heartstrings watching this year, but it’s time for me to step aside and let this next generation have the reins and go where they’re going to go.”
Undertaker then said about halfway through his match against AJ Styles at WrestleMania 36 did he know that his career was winding down for good.
Undertaker said, “About halfway through that night with AJ, I knew that was it for me.” “It became really obvious throughout the course of that night that I could no longer physically do things the way I want to do them, and I refuse to ever shortcut our fans.”
Undertaker then said usually around October, he starts getting his body ready for WrestleMania, so he is now at peace with everything.
Undertaker said, “Usually around October, I start getting my body ready for WrestleMania. I didn’t train a lot this year, purposely building in a safety net that way. So I was at peace with everything.”
