Being a WWE superstar isn’t just about having matches but also being on the road for 300+ days a year. The Undertaker is one of the WWE superstars who were on the road for most of the days as an active wrestler. As a matter of fact, he has wrestled on almost every show WWE ever had, except for NXT. 

Having matches four-five times a week can be seriously stressful on the body of the wrestlers. WWE superstars get very little sleep, have no fixed time for having meals and all this makes it difficult to keep up the excellent performance in the ring.

It’s just dawned on me here in the last as I have started talking and opening up more. You have to realise in any wrestling match and it just happen the other day, you are two inches away from something catastrophic happening.”
