“I’m Fighting this Urge to Calm Up” – The Undertaker Details his Experience of Breaking The Deadman Character

The Undertaker retired at the recently concluded Survivor Series, and finally rested his iconic ‘Deadman’ character. Several ex-Superstars such as Ric Flair and Triple H were involved in this segment.

His fans, the WWE Universe, and the wrestling industry were left in tears when he was giving his speech.

The Undertaker did not want to reveal his true self

In an interview, he explained how he felt once he pulled back the curtains on ‘The Deadman’ character. WWE conducted a documentary with various glimpses and clips of the man behind the mask.

“I’ve been in the wrestling business for over thirty years, thirty years with WWE. But I’m a notoriously old school guy. And you know, talking about business so openly and even to this day I’m fighting this urge to calm up and not talk about it.”

Considering he had held the character for thirty years without breaking it once, it’s understandable why he did not want to open up.

“The old school wrestler is like ‘you should go back and pull the curtains shut and tell everyone you’re not home’. It’s been a mix of both.”

‘The Deadman’ has been a phenomenal change for WWE

All of his fans have been in awe of him since the time he debuted at Survivor Series thirty years ago. Whether it was the way he conducted himself in the ring or the way he walked up to it, everything was splendid.

The Undertaker retiring has taken everyone involved in the professional wrestling industry on an emotional roller coaster. There are some who do not want him to leave the ring. Others refuse to accept that he has already retired.

‘The Phenom’ has been an inspirational character for generations of fans. Everyone who has followed WWE from the beginning to the ones who are just starting, know his name.

The Undertaker might never return to the ring but his legacy will always live on.

However, if he returns to the ring, fans will always expect to witness the dream match between Sting and him.
