Dennis Anderson (Ain't No Grave Can Hold His Body Down) Retirement Tribute 1982-2017

Competing: 1982-2017
This video originally was uploaded as a comeback video, but now is a tribute to Dennis Anderson's bravery and willingness to driving as long as he did in today's tough and competitive Monster Truck Sport.
This year is Dennis Anderson's 35th anniversary in Grave Digger. He has been injured from his first show this year in Tampa.
This video was upload July 2017, assuming Dennis would be back as he has said during his recovery in 2017.
However,on September 18th 2017, Dennis Anderson Announced his retirement after Creating and Competing in Grave Digger for 35 years. (1982 - 2017)
Without a doubt Dennis will always be the most famous driver in the monster truck world, and no one will ever top him.
Dennis didn't have to win every event. He just made sure that win or lose he was going to entertain his fans.
Even though he is retired, Dennis will always be my idol and hero and hope for him to continue on his next journey in life on the side lines supporting his children and hopefully finding a new passion that is still involving the monster truck sport.
I do not own the majority of these clips. They are from monster jam or other sources.

[@ZEPEH-46N2]

TF_Lopakf He isn’t dead.

[@dynamics1833]

reminds of how the wwe wrestler the undertaker is so similar to grave digger both legends

[@powerbachrules]

Grave Digger's been in Monster Jam all along... Undertaker's been in WWE all along... No grave can keep their bodies down...

[@silverthenascarfan9378]

Grave Digger since 1984, Undertaker since 1990.

Tha nos 1982

I think I’m crying right now;:(

[@chasechildress2720]

Also remember he said in that video it was his last world finals but he could possibley be back for normal racing

[@hamsponhype4077]

Looking forward for Dennis to come back

[@greenjobuff]

i hope he comes to ST Louis

[@LuisReyes-bn7wo]

[@hamsponhype4077]

Well we will miss denis really much #THANKYOUDENNIS

[@Kezzex]

Luis Reyes. Don't worry. He'll be back next season. He just won't be in the world finals anymore.

[@mdctv6210]

Made this video since Dennis was confident he can last a few more seasons. But about 2 weeks ago Dennis Announced his retirement.

[@Rammstein45]

LEGEND!

Tight song

In my monster truck distraction i pretend that Dennis Anderson is back from retirement

[@jerryr7641]

That’s so scary 😦

[@dsmithjr25]

At the first I thought he died

[@juangomez7408]

Hey dennis anderson I have your pitcher of the year

[@furioussherman7265]

One of my only regrets as a Monster Jam fan is that I never got to see Dennis Anderson perform live. He was the absolute baddest of the bad and no one will ever take that away from him.

[@elleryparsons2433]

I Saw Him Perform a Couple Times And Yes He Deserves To Be Called The Icon 🤘🤘🤘🤘.

[@chaos2themaxbackup]

This video still touches my heart 5 years later. We miss ya Dennis

[@noiisserpmii]

Den was a big part of childhood. Watching the first couple world finals before i stopped watching. Him & Tom would be 1A & 1B for a long time. Sucks to hear he retired bcuz of an injury but the dude is a legend!

[@evanmatlack33]

Luckily, his children Ryan, Adam and Kristen are going to own Monster Jam for years, and Ments is still going too

[@chripasta]

Happy retirement to Dennis. Sure is a legend and worked his ass off to get where digger and monster trucks are today.

[@LUNITICWILL]

only a few old guys left before they retire. and only a few good young drivers that carry this sport forward right.

[@silverthenascarfan9378]

Like Tom Meents and Neil Eilliot...

[@furioussherman7265]

@@silverthenascarfan9378 Neil Elliott's gone too. The only real members of what I consider the first generation of Monster Jam left are Tom Meents, Charlie Pauken, Jim Koehler, Randy Brown, and Mark Hall.

[@DylanTheHaunter]

No Tom anymore most likely.. ​@furioussherman7265

[@byknmikerc7153]

been a fan for 30 years, watching the sport go from modified trucks to the evo chassis's they use today. Dennis has always been my favorite, probably because he loves tearing those trucks up in freestyle. what ever the case, much love goes out to Dennis Anderson for bringing me so many years of entertainment and fun! God bless you man

[@hbkbunny8530]

King Sling still exist, thank god man

[@Demonrevenge]

Eh RIP 😨😨? 😕 O no RIP 😰

[@Eric-lq6yk]

His last freestyle of where he injured himself made him retire. Dennis was suppose to retire after the world finals and before the 2018 season. Sucks from that backflip he tried to attempt if only he made it and I would have been able to see him one more time before he.. retired.

[@Cobra_427]

I feel like he'll still be at pit parties and in the back beating on the trucks if they have problems in racing

[@purebrand1694]

Dont leave dennis please 😭😭

Amazing video!

[@77DAdams]

Is Dennis Anderson coming back?

[@mdctv6210]

Graydon Adams no, Dennis announced his retirement on September 18th. I made this video in July assuming he would be back as he announced in Vegas that he will keep driving. But I'm the end he ended up retiring. This went from a comeback video to now a retirement video. I didn't want to take this down and re-edit the ending, because I think this video has gone viral enough. Changing the ending isn't necessary.

[@Jayskiallthewayski]

I take of my Grave Digger hat. Thank you, Dennis.

[@linkinparkresetsgaming3965]

Does he still driving King Sling?
