THANK YOU 'TAKER


THE UNDERTAKER

This past Sunday, at Wrestlemania 33 the Undertaker retired after over two decades in the WWE. He left his hat, gloves, and coat in the ring after he was defeated by Roman Reigns in the main event. The Undertaker made one final salute while he walked up the ramp. This was truly the end of an era.

When the Undertaker debuted in WWE in 1990, he was in the age of larger than life characters like Hulk Hogan and "Macho Man" Randy Savage. He came in as a bad guy and beat many guys on his way to challenge Hogan for the World title at Survivor Series in 1991. That would be his breakout moment and he would remain one of the biggest attractions in WWE for the next two decades. 

The Undertaker has had great feuds with superstars like Sid, Shawn Michaels, Mankind (Mick Foley), Kane, Kurt Angle, Ric Flair, Big Show, and Brock Lesnar. He's held multiple World championships in WWE and in my opinion, he is the best big man in the modern era of professional wrestling. I am glad that he gets to leave wrestling on his own terms. 

All I can say is Thank you to the Undertaker for all of the great memories that he's given me as a fan. I hope he's inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame at Wrestlemania 34 in 2018. 

Class Dismissed, 
THE PROFESSOR
