@@TheDarrenguyuk did you not watch WrestleMania 36? That was one hell of a damn match, if he had to do one final match for mania it would probably have to be against The Fiend or Kane or something in his area
When Roman won royal rumble he should have challenged the undertaker instead of WWE champion Brock Lesnar as an heel bcoz ending the streak would have been more superior for him than becoming WWE champion. It would have been more cool if Roman won with heel tatics.
Post wrestling life has been very good to the Undertaker, he looks really well and healthy. After 30 years of giving his life to wwe, he's more than deserving the right to enjoy his retirement. He's earned every bit of it.
@christopher olivarez imagine braging about that, it is like braging about being stronger than a child while being 20+ years old dude. I mean that is true, you are stronger than a child, but is it think to brag about? I don't think so dude
You can hear his passion for the business, his smile is so genuine. Please write a book Mark, your excitement is what makes your persona not only in real life but also the world of professional wrestling. Thanks for the memories.
I wish he could wrestle forever. This guy is one of my idols. Using macabre imagery to connect with the fans on a deeper level, while maintaining a strong sense of humility in spite of making it to the top. Never will be another Undertaker, will never be another Mark Callaway.
@@DankSinatra619 He used to actually stay in character during interviews and appearances, he only started doing this kind of stuff as he's been working towards retiring from the buisness.
That’s great to read. I know some people don’t get to connect with their parents in wrestling. Taker career is also special considering all the other wrestlers that he is connected to....he wrestled in basically 6 different eras of wrestling.
Its great hearing from Mark Callaway, makes it even more amazing what he did as the undertaker because it underlines how much he put into the greatest wrestling character of All time.
Taker is genuinely humble despite all of his success. Extremely well spoken too. Listening to Mark as himself further cements him as my favorite wrestler of all time.
omg survivor series his fairwell was so emotional i was almost in tears ansd i'm a fully grown man i have been a fan of his work since the beginning mark calaway has been in the wwf/wwe for 30 YRS YES! worked his ass off to entertain us much love and respect for the man, the character and most of all he gave us memorable matches hogan {survivor series 91'}, kamala {survivor series 92'} mr wrestlemania, all of it much love and respect THANK YOU!! you go live your life now and just be you enjoy your retirement and again thank you so much you mean so much to me and the rest of the wwe universe their will never NEVER BE ANYBODY THAT CAN TOP YOU BROTHER!! rest in peace {enjoy your retirement #undertakerfanforever1990-2020 r.i.p
At the end of the day, I think Vince realized the Streak was more about Undertaker than anyone else, and it would've been unfair to him to sacrifice the streak as 'stepping stone' for some younger guy. In hindsight, I'm glad it was Brock, someone who was already well established, experienced, and physically fit. I would've _hated_ if they gave the Streak up to some newbie all for the sake of 'pushing younger talent.' I think Taker's done that enough in his career, and I think the Streak deserves better than to be used for something like that
@@jtdarelli1871 even though I respect your opinion and I actually see your point of view 100% I have to say I disagree with you. I get it should be someone the undertaker respects but I think it need to be a mid card talent to give them a push. Personally I believe Bray Wyatt should of been the one. Due to him being the closest thing to the undertaker. Both very different persona but I mean in the concept of the supernatural gimmick that actually work well. I didn’t feel P***ed about Brock winning I am a Brock fan but he really didn’t need it. The thing is WWE always struggle to push talent and this was one time they needed to do it. Just my opinion boss.
Or any of the members of The Shield would have been fine with me too tbh. Brock did not need to take the streak at that point in his career; he was headlining everything, never had to remind older fans how bad his promo work is by having Paul fucking Heyman as his promo, and had some storylines going. I also lowkey wish he would have retired undefeated, or at theeast after his match at Wrestlemania XVIII.
@@StoneColeCrazy I think everyone, including guys actually on the roster, would have preferred Taker retire undefeated. Still, I'm actually glad it was Brock who did it and not some younger guy. Taker deserves better than that. If not Brock, then someone else who was already well established, like Triple H or Kane. I would've hated if they gave up the Steak for some newbie just to give him a slight push.
JT D'Arelli each to their own opinion but disagree re: Brock, even Taker himself said Brock didn't need it, which he totally didn't need, Established box office name, known via his ncaa & ufc career. That notoriety did nothing for him, Bray/Roman needed it.
About a month or so after I started watching Raw, I saw my first pay-per-view event. In the second to last match, it was Undertaker vs. Mankind in Hell in a Cell. It was the one where Undertaker throws Mankind off the top and then he ends up coming back to finish. It was amazing to watch that and definitely hooked me for a while. It's amazing the career a guy like Mark has had. While I didn't appreciate it as much when I was younger, the things these guys put their bodies through is incredible.
Undertaker naming Roman Reigns and Bray Wyatt as the ones to end the streak is an honour in itself 🔥 But, The streak should've never ever ended. 27-0 or 28-0 ❤️
Never ever Roman Reigns, and my reason being is that his status would not have elevated him, rather than just sinking the Undertaker. Brock Lesnar made more sense for all people. Bray Wyatt, maybe, but does not feel right. If JBL would have been active, then yes. That would most certainly elevated him. Roman is just what WWE want to shove down our throat, Wyatt would have had too much negative heat. Lesnar made, again, sense from an athletics point of view. This is just my view and opinion though
Depends which Reigns. At the time when the streak has been broken Roman wasn't ready in my opinion and if done there the defeat would've damaged taker more than elevating Roman, as you said. However, the current heel version of Reigns would've been perfect to end the streak.
So awesome! There are hours that I would like to talk to this guy. Thank him for 30 years of always being there. When the business dropped, when the business soared.... there was always “The Undertaker”. Thank you!
So strange to see him smiling, animated and well......ALIVE. He is quite a personable guy and nice to see how much respect he had for the fans. All those years where he stayed in character even on the street; nice to see what the real Mark can be like now.
I was at supershowdown, the entire card was amazing and seeing wrestlers live was a huge thing, especially when their people like Buddy Murphy, HHH and the Undertaker
I love how open the undertaker has been about his career lately, surprised even. I was always took him for a guy who's really private about it, kept to him self outside the ring or maybe just didn't have the time of day to talk about it, cuz u hardly seen him in interviews or being anywhere to represent the wwe sharing as much stories as he is now, but I'm sure that had more to do with adding Mystique to The Undertaker, so that you only ever saw him in character. But Just listening to him talk about it you can tell he's satisfied with the conclusion of his career, and is excited to share the passion of his craft with the fans & media who appreciate it. It's no wonder he kept going even after the wear and tear was clearly showing. that being said, I don't think there is a wrestler in the business who has a better connection with the fans than he does. I hope he enjoys his retirement continues to get mad love and respect, he deserve it
I could and would watch this non stop for 24 hours straight. What an amazing human being behind the extraordinary character. The entire industry was an end of an era the day The Undertaker retired. Ain't nobody else can ever say that and his legacy has truly walked immortality home. I took The Undertaker for granted because I could never imagine a time without him on our WWE screens. I never wanted to.
The First match I saw that the Undertaker was in was at WrestleMania 22 in Chicago when he faced Mark Henry in a Casket Match I will never forget his entrance It was nothing short of perfection I was in amazement when the fire started to show and I was frozen in time I just wish I could have witnessed it in person which is one of my dreams Just to see man who is WrestleMania Shawn Michaels can say he's Mr. Wrestlemania but the Undertaker is WrestleMania
I love listening to undertaker. He is one the very best of all time of wwe .I hoping he does a podcast and a book. I remember him coming to WWE well back then it was WWF . Thank you undertaker. 😁
There are few people as passionate about the wrestling business as Undertaker. Stone Cold and Ric Flair are probably the only two guys I can think of who love the business as much as Taker.
He is the biggest legend in wrestling ever because even people who don't watch wrestling know who he is and gonna miss him but happy to be part of the generation that grow up with the undertaker and wish him and the fiend had a match and him and thankyou undertaker/mark
I went 1 on 1 with taker for about 2 min when I was 12 for an autograph and it was one of the best moments ever! He was American bad ass at the time equally as terrifying
He did something for a show that used to be on MTV in the 90s as The Undertaker. The show was called "Downtown" th-cam.com/video/oT8YcD4ZXw8/w-d-xo.html
Don't know much about him after his introduction to the WWF. He was a "new force" for sure. A dominate character!!! A new favorite of mine way back in the day! I'm happy for the man who played the character, and hope nothing but the best for the man, the the myth and a legend!
Wow, what a great guy. Haven't seen a lot of interviews of his over the years but that's the main thing I noticed listening to that. He's had a great career, earned a lot of money and has impacted so many lives but still very down to earth and a top guy by the sounds of it. "Treat people the way you want to be treated", very well said Taker 🙏. For me the greatest WWE superstar of all time.
Seeing this in 2021. Undertaker talks about Bray Wyatt and his character "The Feind". While we knew, in this very moment, that WWE released him. We all know "Super Natural" -characterwise. The Feind was as close to an Undertaker as you could get, these days. Specially if you think that pretty much everyone would have said that Super Natural Gimmick would not work anymore. In the end it didn't! Not because Bray was not able to showcase that character properly, but because Vince and WWE had no idea what to do, how to capitalize on that run of Bray and dropped the ball.
Today's thanksgiving.I'm 33. I've been watching wrestling since before I can remember.so being born in 87, I saw the taker debut.and I've never heard him talk until today. Not anything I wouldn't expect, but I couldn't imagine it.the duo of him n kane. N they were brothers than they weren't then they were enemies so on n so forth.
GOAT without a shadow of a doubt. The titles, the athleticism of a man his size, the best character, the person, the longevity and relevance across eras. He's just the fucking best!
I could listen to taker tell stories and talk about the business all day long!! It's just so nice to finally hear his side of the story and his take on things!! In my opinion he is the goat of professional wrestling!! The tom brady the Micheal Jordan the babe Ruth of wrestling is the undertaker
I agree with him perfectly when he said Brock didn't need that win, Roman did now the man himself said it out his own mouth, how can you not agree with this legend.
The legend I can't believe he is gone.... I grew up with watching him. I got pictures with him n kane and Paul bearer from the attitude era. And I got pics with the rock from knoxville tn that's when I got pics with em that was long ago
Despite being years and years completely off the grid regarding fans, he seems like a guy who can really take his fans and transfer the feeling of appreciation.
I'm actually curious as to why he never won the Intercontinental championship. My only guess is that he was always being wasted by Vince by being put up against all those lame giants who had zero wrestling ability( the Great Khalis and the Giant Gonzalez' of the world). He will always be the greatest of all time, I don't care how many titles Flair or Cena or anyone else has won, Taker didn't NEED the title to be relevant and I think I can vouch for most fans when I say that every Wrestlemania that went by, people wanted to see Undertaker's match more than the WWE title match.
@Bugsy boy I kinda feel like he should have at least had one run instead of being fed to the monsters he had to try and put over. I suppose he was always considered main event talent and the IC title might have been kinda watered down since people know he was always elite.
@@35jigganator he was always above the intercontinental title. He came in and was a main event level guy pretty much right away. I mean he was wrestling Ultimate Warrior and Hulk Hogan in his first year in WWF and was a top guy ever since then.
Taker retiring without a live crowd is something I will never forgive Vince & WWE for. Could’ve postponed it or made it more connected to the fans watching. He loves his fans and they love him, imagine the energy of a live crowd Farewell... Taker deserves a lot more than the improvised Survivor Series this year.
Wow the undertaker seems like a really cool easy-going approachable man that you can talk to with no problem way too different from his character in the ring
I'm so happy for the undertaker and the man behind him Mark Calaway. It would've been really selfish for me wishing to watch him wrestle for more time. He earned every single moment of his retirement.
I can understand catapulting younger talent, but I still say Kane had the only right to end the streak. Their characters and on screen story are the literal best in WWE. Nothing compares.
@Bryan Mack That's the other thing....although from what I hear now, he and Page are actually pretty decent friends now and he likes what he's done with his DDP Yoga program, even reached out and told him so about it when he began it I believe.
i always dreaded the fact that Taker would retire and we wouldn't hear much from him. I love the fact that he's doing so many interviews now, though. Even if it is an old school guy "opening the curtain".
HBK should've broken the streak when they fought the second time...Nobody would've seen it coming, being that it was a retirement match for Shawn. And nobody can argue that Shawn wasn't deserving of that honor.
I agree that HBK should have ended the streak at Wrestlemania 26. However, Taker won at 25 and if shawn went on to win at 26, a 3rd match would had to have gone down to get a decisive winner. I dont think the 3rd match would have been able to live up to the hype after the streak had ended.
@Arsenal 4 Life Created a compelling enough character that has mystical powers on lore and is talented enough to carry the torch forward and me a draw and main eventer for decades to come. Also it would've been nice to see such a character beat Taker using his own magic vs Taker. Hell have you seen how much draw the fiend has and how much merch he sells?
Kane was the only one in the company at the time that could POSSIBLY lay claim to "deserving it". No one REALLY deserved to break the streak, but if it HAD to be broken, it should have been Kane. Not that lazy part-time dipshit Slop Loser.
I have followed take since he started as mean mark(yes I'm old lol) as long as his career has been,all the things he has done behind the scenes for the buisness,all the guys his advice has helped through the years he has nothing left to prove. In a way I wish he would not come back for survivor series. I get why it is when he debut in WWF and I know he will bring it and being survivor series with I'm guessing a team of wrestlers with him so he dont have to do a match one on one I hope he is happy with his performance after so he can rest. He has earned it time and time again
If u do this again with Taker, will u please ask him if he was disappointed that Sting came to WWE as late in their careers as he did, knowing Taker vs Sting was a HUGE dream match in fans' minds? Was he disappointed they never got a match against each other? Also, is he disappointing when he left his gear in the ring after Roman leading fans to believe they were a HUGE part of history?

"Treat people the way you want to be treated", very well said Taker 🙏. For me the greatest WWE superstar of all time.
There will never be another Undertaker truly one of a kind
He seems to be a very humble and good guy. What a great run he had.
Undertaker is the greatest wrestler all time i like the ministry undertaker ministry undertakeris my favorite undertaker all time
Hell yeah
Seeing this in 2021. Undertaker talks about Bray Wyatt and his character "The Feind". While we knew, in this very moment, that WWE released him.
We all know "Super Natural" -characterwise. The Feind was as close to an Undertaker as you could get, these days. Specially if you think that pretty much everyone would have said that Super Natural Gimmick would not work anymore.
In the end it didn't! Not because Bray was not able to showcase that character properly, but because Vince and WWE had no idea what to do, how to capitalize on that run of Bray and dropped the ball.
Today's thanksgiving.I'm 33. I've been watching wrestling since before I can remember.so being born in 87, I saw the taker debut.and I've never heard him talk until today. Not anything I wouldn't expect, but I couldn't imagine it.the duo of him n kane. N they were brothers than they weren't then they were enemies so on n so forth.
GOAT without a shadow of a doubt. The titles, the athleticism of a man his size, the best character, the person, the longevity and relevance across eras. He's just the fucking best!
I started a drinking game. Everytime taker says "you know" you take a drink. It's a fun little game untl u git 3 ninites n
😂😂🔥🔥🔥
This is an amazingly structured joke, ily
Do Vince Russo & "Bro" ud have to get her stomach pumped!!
This is what happens when you don't do a lot of press and interviews during 34 years of wrestling. You don't work out bad public speaking habits. :P

I can only say one thing. Thank You Mr Calaway.
His entrance at Melbourne gave me chills such a good wrestler even for his age
Mark needs to have live Q&A session with fans, every weekend.
No you cannot do it every weekend. It loses its value. It needs to happen between extended periods of time. Less is more
@@youtubeistryingtocensorme I fully agree with you.
I could listen to taker tell stories and talk about the business all day long!! It's just so nice to finally hear his side of the story and his take on things!! In my opinion he is the goat of professional wrestling!! The tom brady the Micheal Jordan the babe Ruth of wrestling is the undertaker
I agree with him perfectly when he said Brock didn't need that win, Roman did now the man himself said it out his own mouth, how can you not agree with this legend.
Especially when they were trying to get roman as the face n head at the time whoever's they were grooming to b top guy
The legend I can't believe he is gone.... I grew up with watching him. I got pictures with him n kane and Paul bearer from the attitude era. And I got pics with the rock from knoxville tn that's when I got pics with em that was long ago
Thank u deadman. U have had that effect in my life.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 u. I met u in the late 90s , & I hope I get the pleasure again.
I wish I got to see undertaker
Despite being years and years completely off the grid regarding fans, he seems like a guy who can really take his fans and transfer the feeling of appreciation.
I'm actually curious as to why he never won the Intercontinental championship. My only guess is that he was always being wasted by Vince by being put up against all those lame giants who had zero wrestling ability( the Great Khalis and the Giant Gonzalez' of the world). He will always be the greatest of all time, I don't care how many titles Flair or Cena or anyone else has won, Taker didn't NEED the title to be relevant and I think I can vouch for most fans when I say that every Wrestlemania that went by, people wanted to see Undertaker's match more than the WWE title match.
@Bugsy boy I kinda feel like he should have at least had one run instead of being fed to the monsters he had to try and put over. I suppose he was always considered main event talent and the IC title might have been kinda watered down since people know he was always elite.
He did. But he and Kane were holding all the other titles too. Remember the matches he and Kane had against Triple H and Steve Austin?
@@35jigganator he was always above the intercontinental title. He came in and was a main event level guy pretty much right away. I mean he was wrestling Ultimate Warrior and Hulk Hogan in his first year in WWF and was a top guy ever since then.
Just like Michaels he was relevant without a championship
Imagine the fiend with a us or intercontinental title. Does that make sense ?
Taker retiring without a live crowd is something I will never forgive Vince & WWE for. Could’ve postponed it or made it more connected to the fans watching. He loves his fans and they love him, imagine the energy of a live crowd Farewell... Taker deserves a lot more than the improvised Survivor Series this year.
He was old bro I hated it too.
Wow the undertaker seems like a really cool easy-going approachable man that you can talk to with no problem way too different from his character in the ring
I'm so happy for the undertaker and the man behind him
Mark Calaway.
It would've been really selfish for me wishing to watch him wrestle for more time.
He earned every single moment of his retirement.
Tomorrow: The Deadman theme plays for 30 seconds then switches up to Metallica= Now that were dead. Then outcomes the wrestlemania 36 unholy trinity💯
I wouldn't be mad at that, nice one man.
WRONG
I can understand catapulting younger talent, but I still say Kane had the only right to end the streak. Their characters and on screen story are the literal best in WWE. Nothing compares.
Never my favourite wrestler but total respect for his understanding the buisness and his mindset.
Love hearing him talk he's total class
Take a shot every time he says "Ya know?"
LOVE HIM 💕
The greatest
Watching Taker talk about grinding it our for however many days in a row or a year with actual lightning in the background? #ThankYouTaker
I grew up watching Mark Calloway as the Undertaker I'm happy but also sad that this is the end.
We love you mark you make our world better place
all these interviews and nobody's asking about the infamous muhammad hassan incident! i'd love taker's side of it
Maybe it's a banned topic.
For real!
@Bryan Mack That's the other thing....although from what I hear now, he and Page are actually pretty decent friends now and he likes what he's done with his DDP Yoga program, even reached out and told him so about it when he began it I believe.
5:51 Furio is on the run from Tony Soprano but can't resist talking to The Undertaker
Childhood hero!!!! :)
i always dreaded the fact that Taker would retire and we wouldn't hear much from him. I love the fact that he's doing so many interviews now, though. Even if it is an old school guy "opening the curtain".
I know he can't talk about chris benoit but what did he think of him before what he did like how was he backstage
We need a book written Taker!
I'd love to see an undertaker feature for cribs or a tour I bet he has some dope stuff
UNDERTAKER THE GOAT
Nobody:
Taker: ya know
HBK should've broken the streak when they fought the second time...Nobody would've seen it coming, being that it was a retirement match for Shawn. And nobody can argue that Shawn wasn't deserving of that honor.
I agree that HBK should have ended the streak at Wrestlemania 26.
However, Taker won at 25 and if shawn went on to win at 26, a 3rd match would had to have gone down to get a decisive winner. I dont think the 3rd match would have been able to live up to the hype after the streak had ended.
@@TheWWEfanatic93 End it on a draw. Nobody gets the upper hand. I feel like that would've been the ultimate WrestleMania moment .
I honestly think Bray Wyatt should've beaten the streak
@Arsenal 4 Life Created a compelling enough character that has mystical powers on lore and is talented enough to carry the torch forward and me a draw and main eventer for decades to come. Also it would've been nice to see such a character beat Taker using his own magic vs Taker. Hell have you seen how much draw the fiend has and how much merch he sells?
Kane was the only one in the company at the time that could POSSIBLY lay claim to "deserving it". No one REALLY deserved to break the streak, but if it HAD to be broken, it should have been Kane. Not that lazy part-time dipshit Slop Loser.
The one who should’ve ended the streak should’ve been Kane back in 97 would’ve been more fitting
When taker talked about being ric flair, I imagined him be like the " casket using, soul burying, eye rolling, bike riding son of a gun"
Zero questions about Sting, how?
Didn't ever think that Undertaker watched the product ever week just like a normal wwe fan. That fascinates me honestly😂
coach calaway just sounds awesome the new talent is going to be lucky
Undertaker is such a badass
He wanted ROMAN To end the streak but considered bray wayatt as well
Just imagine what it would have done for him.. Too bad Vince spoils all these talented guys.. It hurts my soul
Street Magic yes I agree
Taker spouting Vanilla Ice "If you had a problem, you know I'd solve it.
You know?
Is that the Phenoms trench coat i see in the back??
I have followed take since he started as mean mark(yes I'm old lol) as long as his career has been,all the things he has done behind the scenes for the buisness,all the guys his advice has helped through the years he has nothing left to prove. In a way I wish he would not come back for survivor series. I get why it is when he debut in WWF and I know he will bring it and being survivor series with I'm guessing a team of wrestlers with him so he dont have to do a match one on one I hope he is happy with his performance after so he can rest. He has earned it time and time again
If u do this again with Taker, will u please ask him if he was disappointed that Sting came to WWE as late in their careers as he did, knowing Taker vs Sting was a HUGE dream match in fans' minds? Was he disappointed they never got a match against each other?
Also, is he disappointing when he left his gear in the ring after Roman leading fans to believe they were a HUGE part of history?
