[@madmanga64]

It makes me happy every time is see how healthy Taker looks now, toward the end of his career as Undertaker you could REALLY see it had taken its toll on him

[@Name-jw4sj]

It's like night and day. Dude looks much better now.

[@xer05tar]

His pump card expired back in 2005

[@JGGuitarCovers]

He was at his peak in 2009.

[@Anthonys_S]

💯, I thought this myself . Not only that but probably in a big part due to that he just looks so chilled and happy, none of this maybe I will have another match , he just seems at comfort with it all which is great to see. Of course he may still appear in the odd story , the occasional run in as no matter what when those bells roll there’s still awe in the whole stadium but I 💯 love how at peace and happy he seems . He must be the coolest dad ❤

[@watersandblue6001]

​@@JGGuitarCovers he wasn't really at his peak in 2009. he had less matches around then and put on banger on every mania no doubt. but real full-time peak taker has to be 2002-2008. the time he returned at mania 20 and was the men on smackdown for years is his peak.

[@Mrs.Polizzi-Maloney]

When WWE finally opens the Hall of Fame Museum (their collecting stuff for a reason), I want to see Mark Henry’s ugly pink jacket on display, with a quote that says “I GOT PLENTY LEFT IN THE TANK”.

[@FryngeMinority]

That jacket was epic!

[@MrBigshow234]

Also with the words THATS WHAT I DO

[@qhoffa9568]

“You think it’s that easy!…I got a lot left in the tank!” 😂😂

[@gonzojones8422]

Salmon pink 😂

[@R3troZone]

The museum already exists. It's a traveling museum and they set it up at major events like Wrestlemania. I doubt it'll ever be brick and mortar standalone location because fewer people will see it that way. But at live events its an attraction.

[@AnthonyJohnson-jp3ht]

Easily one of the greatest promos in history... Especially when he say " baby I'm coming home " that shit ate me up I almost Shed a tear As a grown man grown up watching wrestlers like him.

[@sparks2spare782]

I got swerved by it 100%. I really dug his Hall of Pain gimmick. He was a ruthless heel. I remember him beating up a sound guy on RAW.

[@thelexanator7092]

that might have been on sd

[@WWE2KUNIVERSEELITE]

One of the entrance themes too

[@rajakghosh6602]

Mark Henry's retirement segment was much more believable. He wasn't going anywhere career wise. He was on his last fumes. So the retirement speech looked so credible and authentic. I think everyone brought in which makes his heel turn all the better. With AJ Styles hardly anyone believed him. He returned at all buffed up working great matches only to announce his retirement out of the blue. No way that was believable. But I'm glad it happened, Cody really needed a great story and credible opponent.

[@jefinlukose1737]

And AJ just got a new theme song two months ago. It wasn’t believable at all

[@theredshadow401]

@@jefinlukose1737 See, I think they blew an opportunity not having AJ come out to his original WWE theme when he came out for his "retirement" speech. Would have been effective, in my opinion.

[@mr5timewcwchamp]

If he had announced his retirement after the Backlash event, and that he’d be doing his ceremony in a few weeks it really would’ve sold this

[@waynelove6249]

At the start you could tell the live crowd wasn't buying it. but the longer it went on he the more he got the crowd into it and by the end some were buying it. But anyone who remembers Mark Henry's knew where the segment was going haha. Mark's will never be topped though

[@nicksparta9580]

I feel like they could've hyped up AJs more on social media to get more interest

[@dragonberrymead9525]

5:06 you ruined my childhood Undertaker. This whole time I really thought you were a zombie wizard mortician who rides motorcycles. This is worse than when I found out Santa Claus wasn't real when I was 25.

[@coreyyoung6052]

Not giving him the belt was criminal.

[@BruceMichaelFilms]

They made it seem real with Henry. With Styles, once he mentioned Nick Aldis sending him to the back of the line, you knew it was a work.

[@chainshishd9127]

My guy Taker enjoying his retirement and his wife and kids. I'm so freaking happy for him, he will always be my favorite wrestler and he gave us his blood, sweat, and soul for the purpose of entering us. Undertaker G.O.A.T!!!

[@BenDPB]

Honestly my favourite promo of all time. NO ONE knew it was fake.

[@fr3akvankuchen825]

Man i hate those comments being like "Man this ruined my childhood" Like this guy made our childhoods great playing a character who i loved. like honestl i am living in the best timeline nowadays watching him talk about stuff he enjoys Im still waiting on a special on elk hunting or something

[@waynelove6249]

I mean anyone who says that I think is just trolling or joking. There's no way you can grow up and still believe he was "The deadman" 24/7. And who else went 30 years protecting their character and refusing to do interviews to keep kayfabe? I agree with you. I love hearing him open up and getting to see what a genuine nice guy he is and hearing his perspective on the business and his career now.

[@fr3akvankuchen825]

@@waynelove6249 Nah people are loosing it claiming "Oh mark calaway is an asshole" for some reason. I think its bc his shirt in "the last ride" but then again im not american so i dunno. He seems like a great guy irl

i have been a wrestling fan for decades now. since the WWE's beginnings when they had saturday nights main event commentated by vince and gorilla monsoon... Undertakes was my favorite wrestler and I just wanna personally say I really enjoy the way it is now where we get to hear all the stories we couldn't know when they were keeping kayfabe.... I also love the elk hunting stories and stuff. its way better the way it is now

[@NewYork975]

Mark Henry’s retirement promo was special, he cried and everything. Made me feel like I was a kid again, he made you believe. Top 5.

[@MichaelTaylor-qp2xf]

Too Cold Scorpio peaked in the 90's in WCW, ECW and then as Flash Funk in WWF. He's still working in independent companies now in the 2020's winding it down and he's still pretty good in the ring.

[@Wolfnstone]

I'm 42. You haven't "ruined" The Undertaker I apriciate being able to see the real person I idolised when i was younger

[@3Rayfire]

I gotta say seeing Mark and how chill and professional he is, makes me appreciate just how intense and complete the performance was. Like he inhabited that role so well and so convincingly that seeing the guy under the hat is actually really different.

[@adamrivera2499]

Takers sweater is 😎

[@ALKININA]

You are the best and favorite of all time and I am your biggest fan And I want to meet you, I hope to the Lord May He protect you and protect you. Thank you for those unforgettable days. Thank you for everything. We love you Mark 💜🤘

That retirement swerve was AWESOME. I remember being at my buddy's place and we were quiet, glued to the TV. When he WSS'd Cena, we lost our minds. One of the best, if not THE best promos ever

[@SeethingSimp]

Now we're only reminiscing about stuff from 10 years ago instead of 25!

[@jojotwice8918]

10 yrs is still a long time ago. just 2014 feels like it was yesterday

[@user-ul3tv9ty5q]

There's nothing wrong with Mark talking about things he enjoys. I find it entertaining but I also enjoy those things too. He's not going to stay in character till he dies, let him enjoy his life.

[@Turo602]

Undertaker deserves to be himself now. He played his role better than anyone ever has for decades and gave us so much. He is forever a wrestling icon and should be allowed to say and do whatever he wants to at this stage. The Undertaker is gone now. Mark is the man who sacrificed everything for us, and people should appreciate that more. You don't have to agree with everyone you like.

[@inhumanjoey310]

The Taker is the man. Glad he still lookin good.

[@Silverhawk1776]

First time I saw Undertaker back in the day I thought, "...That's Mean Mark!...This is gonna be GOOD!"

[@Scrotum_69420]

Dude, Ive always been a fan of the "Undertaker"... But seeing this side of MARK ( as a dad, as a normal dude, as a regular human ) is fucking fantastic. This has got to be one of the best new podcasts shows out right now.

[@richtull2110]

I was in So. Cal in 78 and had a frind working at a gym and he called me losing it. Three wrestlers came in to workout, they had matches the following night in town. they came in all buddy, buddy and then asked if they could use the phone. My friend said sure lets use the office phone and they said great and asked him to be really quiet so they could be on speaker. They were doing a promo for a radio station, he said all of a sudden these three guys went into character and were at each others throats. Then after the interview they went back to buddy, buddy and thanked him and signed pics for him lol.

[@Cratossama]

Ashamed they gave him only 1 title reign it’s great Vince is gone nobody can use the he had bad promo excuses to hide Vince’s racism

That might be an exaggeration, I saw through that retirement act. He was in the middle of a feud with Cena so why would he retire

[@christianrapper5]

I did, too. However, it was still freaking great.

[@3Rayfire]

I gotta say, if I met Christopher Walken, I would want one of his Batman Returns scenes, _"Who woulda thought Selina Kyle had a brain to damage? Bottom Line, she tries to blackmail me, I'll throw her out a higher window, for now I got badder fish to fry!"_ I loved Peck, great villain.
