Undertaker feels blessed to have two families
A Superstar’s journey in the wrestling business is a lonely one. Due to the schedules and the number of events and shows WWE does, the superstars are away from home for almost 365 days.
The wrestlers are away from their families for days and months on end. Their children grow up seeing them on television but cannot spend time with them in real.

Here is what Undertaker said.
“I’ve been very blessed to have two families: my wife and my children and then my family on the road. Guys like Brian Adams, Yokozuna, Godfather, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Bret Hart, Mick Foley, obviously, The Mayor, Kane, Edge.
“Obviously, I can’t name everybody without leaving somebody out, but it’s important to know how much you guys meant to me, not only on a professional level but on a personal level.
