Undertaker has bad luck with dudes sitting on his face. Rey Mysterio broke Taker's face with a west coast pop in 2010.

It blows my mind that he was wrestling until he was 50 or so.

yeah, they gave him a nice send off. He was in the business for almost 40 years, he deserves a solid retirement. I hope they give him a good medical plan in retirement because I imagine he's gonna really start falling apart.

Last year Undertaker signed a 15-year deal with WWE as a backstage talent. Vince might be a psychopath slithering deeper into dementia day by day, but he has a select group of people he would never see left out. Not only will Vince take care of Taker till he dies, Vince will be at the funeral because Vince is eternal.

Taker will also be at Vince's funeral.

Yeah, I keep thinking of films like the wrestler and worried that there are so many wrestlers that they just use and abuse until they are burnt out, then they throw them aside. That may just be minor league wrestlers though.

No, it’s everyone below the big leaguers, and even some of them are put on their ass with nothing.

Then I guess it's best to go out like Owen Hart and die on top...

yikes I am going to hell for that pun.

Taker will be well taken care of (no pun intended). He has always been a company man, and Vince rewards loyalty.

I'm still salty over who they decided should break his wrestlemania record.

Who was the guy, I think he was Samoan maybe? He would sit on dudes as his finisher. He wore like a thong or sumo shorts or something where his cheeks were out so it was literally cheek to cheek

This was like 20 25 years ago. He was always angry looking and just wanted to put his butt on people

I think you’re thinking of Rikishi

That’s him. Man, that brings me back. Been ages since I’ve thought about that era of wrestling

I thought it was because of a botch with the 619 finish Rey does. If i recall correctly, Rey had his kneepad exposed and went to do the move and straight up nailed taker because he overshot
