Undertaker is simply everyone's childhood, his gimmick and theme song were one of the best ever and the matches with HBK arguably the best of WWE. Happy retirement Taker❤️

It was so good it feels unreal to see him like this doesn’t even seem like a gimmick

when I was a kid, I always tried to be like him man 😂 what a legend he's always be my favourite wrestler of all time

[@blancosfamilyfarm1798]

When you see a guy like Mr. Calloway talk about how hard it is on the human body to do what they do, you gotta give respect to Roman (Joe) to get out there an face the boos he faced for a few years straight an turn it around to be the new biggest guy in the company an to be at like 90 95% of the house shows doing it day in day out with a disease like leukemia is simply amazing!!! Much much respect after seeing him live a few weeks ago!!! Hell much respect to them all for being able to do what they do!!

Most unexpected cross over. Can’t wait to give it a listen

[@LondonPredatorAngler]

you know what I love about this interview, I could tell Mark wanted to be there, sometimes when you watch ex - wrestlers or sports ppl, you kinda get the feeling they keep answers short etc... in this interveiw you can see Mark was engrossed and enjoying this convo! it was very natural

[@s4xtt]

He gave 3 decades of his life playing a dark brooding menacing character in dedication to his craft, now he has no filter and is being invited all over the place to share all those experiences

[@leejohnston7121]

Fantastic interview, I wonder if Mark knows just how much of an impact he had on so many people worldwide. He was and still is my favourite wrestler.

This by far is one of the better interviews I've seen anyone do with Taker who is allowed to open up more about Mark Callaway, the man. You really allowed him to be himself in this interview and I really appreciate getting to hear more about what I didn't know for all those years about Taker. I'm not surprised at all to hear him talk about how hard it was to be real Mark versus Undertaker and having to sacrifice his personal life to make sure we always got the best character we could.

[@GZU]

Didn't expect this cross over but this is sickk fair play

[@bjsing247]

True American icon, everybody knows The Undertaker, so cool to hear Mark. Awesome when someone like him is a class act in real life

[@hafizalfarzan]

I am a huge pro wrestling fan. The undertaker is my favourite WWE SUPERSTAR of all time. He is one of the reasons of why I am following my dream to one day become a WWE Superstar. The man is the epitome of a legend. His character is the greatest creation in WWE history, an undefeated streak that became the focal point of WRESTLEMANIA every year, countless of amazing matches, an entrance that will give you goosebumps, whenever that gong hit. A career that transcended the wresting business. Taker has earned that HOF induction, and when Vince inducts him, it’s going to be emotional.

[@conorsmith8551]

Is bret hart in the hall of fame ?

[@WalkingTalkingMeme]

It's truly incredible how you've went from telling Newcastle to fk off on fifa to now doing a POD CAST with one of the most loved and know people in sports! Glad to see how far you've come !!

[@barryryan14]

I love the Undertaker. My 80 year old father if Wrestling is ever mentioned talks about the Undertaker. Dont think he know's anyone who debuted since 1995 but Taker crosses generations and is loved and respected by all. Would have been good to talk about the locker room court where Taker was judge.

As a kid, the "Dead Man" Undertaker genuinely scared me and much like Geordie, the American Badass was the coolest thing I've ever seen. I live in the Philippines, seeing Mark on a big bike and getting to learn more about the character got me more interested with American culture. Anyways, this was damn good podcast!

Great big props to you for just plain being quiet and listening, which is a talent that too many hosts haven't mastered. Then viewers like myself get frustrated wondering what The Undertaker would have said. One guy interviewed him absolutely terrible and everyone was pissed waiting for Undertaker to Tombstone him.
