ONLY WORK ONCE A YEAR AND TO
TRY TO HAVE TIMING, CARDIO,
HAVE YOUR GIMMICK, YOU KNOW.
I MEAN, IT'S TOUGH.
IT IS.
BUT IT'S MY REALITY.
I MEAN, THAT'S WHERE I'M AT.

CAN'T WORK A FULL SCHEDULE.

I LOVE AND RESPECT THIS
BUSINESS SO MUCH.

WAS, YOU KNOW-- I WANTED TO
BE A WRESTLER.

THERE'S NO WAY.

I MEAN, IT TAKES ITS TOLL.
I HAD A FIVE YEAR STRETCH OR
SO THERE WHERE MY SCHEDULE
WOULD BE-- I WOULD PREPARE,
I WOULD HAVE MY MANIA MATCH,
THEN I WOULD HAVE SOME KIND
OF SURGERY TO REPAIR WHATEVER
HAD BEEN BOTHERING ME GOING
INTO THAT MATCH, AND THEN GO
STRAIGHT FROM REHAB RIGHT
INTO TRAINING TO BE READY TO
GO TO MANIA AGAIN.
> > WHEN TAKER TALKS ABOUT THE
THINGS THAT HE HAD TO DO TO
PERFORM, I COULD RELATE TO IT

I'M GOING TO DO THIS.
EVERYBODY'S EXPECTING YOU TO
BE AT THE LEVEL THAT I WAS AT
AND THE CERTAIN LEVEL AND
PERFORM LIKE THIS.
BUT I'M NOT IN THE GROOVE.
I HAVEN'T DONE IT.
CAN I STILL DO IT?
YOUR MIND PLAYS GAMES WITH
YOU.
BY FAR, PHYSICALLY AND
MENTALLY, THE HARDEST,
ABSOLUTE HARDEST THING I'VE
EVER DONE IN MY LIFE IS THAT
PERFORMING ONCE OR TWICE A
YEAR THING.

IS REAL.

THAT'S KIND OF THE, THAT'S
KIND OF THE BIG ISSUE IS
MAKING SURE THAT THERE'S
ALWAYS ENOUGH GAS IN THE
TANK.
AND THAT'S KIND OF A PRODUCT
OF, YOU KNOW, ONLY WORKING
THE FEW MATCHES THAT I DO
NOW.
EVERYTHING THAT I, YOU KNOW,
THAT I'M DEALING WITH NOW, SO
YEAH, IT'S A-- IT'S A KIND
OF A CRAZY WEB I WEAVE TRYING
TO, YOU KNOW, TRAIN
EFFECTIVELY AND GET, YOU
KNOW-- TO GET THE-- THE
MAXIMUM RESULTS I CAN WITH
WHAT I'M WORKING WITH.

NERVE-RACKING WORKOUT BECAUSE

THE MUSCLES ELONGATED.
STAY FOCUSED AND GET WHAT YOU
HAVE TO GET DONE DONE AND GET
OUT.
> > SO THE TWO MATCHES I DID
WITH SHAWN, I WAS EXCESSIVELY
SORE THE FIRST MATCH WE HAD
WITH TRIPLE H, I THINK IT WAS
IN ATLANTA.
THAT WAS PRETTY BRUTAL.
> > THAT'S WHERE I GOT CARTED
OUT.
ACTUALLY HAD TO SPEND TWO
FULL DAYS IN THE HOTEL AFTER
MANIA.
GOT THE HIP REPAIRED.
THE NEXT YEAR WAS PRETTY
GOOD.
AND THE NEXT YEAR WAS PRETTY
GOOD.
YOU KNOW, THE MATCH WITH
BROCK HAPPENED, WHICH TO THIS
DAY-- I STILL DON'T
REMEMBER.
> > THIS MATCH IS SIMPLY ABOUT
ONE THING, THE 21 AND 0,
UNDEFEATED STREAK OF THE
UNDERTAKER.
> > I'M NOT SURE WHEN I GOT
CONCUSSED.
I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT MATCH
HAPPENED.
I HAVE NO RECOLLECTION OF ANY
OF THAT.
MY LAST MEMORY OF THAT DAY
WAS AT ABOUT-- I'D SAY 3:30
IN THE AFTERNOON.
> > A THIRD F-5 TO THE
UNDERTAKER.
THE STREAK IS OVER.
> > I NEED SOME HELP HERE.
> > VINCE COMES THROUGH THE
CURTAIN AND SAYS, MEDICAL GET
IN HERE.
SOMEBODY-- AND THIS WAS THE
FIRST TIME WE HAD ANY
INDICATION THAT THERE WAS
SOMETHING WRONG.
AND HE WAS SITTING IN THE
WALKWAY OUTSIDE OF GORILLA.
AND HE HAD THE HAPPY DAZED
LOOK ON HIS FACE THAT HE HAD
NO IDEA WHERE HE WAS AT.
AND HE LOOKED AT ME AND HE
KIND OF SMILED, AND HE'S
LIKE, HEY.
AND I'M LIKE OH BOY.
SOMETHING WENT WRONG HERE.
> > I MEAN, I WAS GONE, MAN.
> > WE DECIDE THAT PROBABLY
THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION IS
TO TAKE HIM TO THE EMERGENCY
ROOM.
AS WE PULL INTO THE HOSPITAL,
THE CAR THAT'S BEHIND US WAS
AN SUV.
> > DOORS OPEN, FIRST PERSON
WHO'S THERE?
WRESTLEMANIA'S STILL GOING
ON.
WHO'S OUTSIDE THE AMBULANCE?
VINCE.
VINCE AND BROCK.
AND OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, MARK
CUSSES VINCE, DON'T YOU HAVE
A SHOW THAT'S STILL GOING ON?
BUT VINCE WOULDN'T HAVE IT.
> > AND WE'RE SITTING THERE IN
A ROOM AND HE KIND OF LOOKS
UP AT US AND HE GOES, I'M NOT
DEAD, GUYS.
COME ON.
AND SO IT KIND OF MADE THE
ROOM LAUGH A LITTLE BIT.
SO WE WERE ABLE TO START
JOKING AROUND.
> > YOU KNOW, NOT TO MAKE
LIGHT OF IT, BUT WE JOKE--
HE WAS TRYING TO CHEAT IN THE
HOSPITAL.
THE NURSES WOULD COME AND
SAY, YOU KNOW, DO YOU KNOW
YOUR NAME?
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
HEY BABE, COME HERE, WHAT'S
MY NAME AGAIN?
HE WAS SO SEVERELY CONCUSSED
THAT HE HAD NO IDEA HIS NAME.
HE DIDN'T KNOW WHERE WE WERE.
HE DIDN'T KNOW WHY WE WERE IN
NEW ORLEANS.
HE DIDN'T KNOW HIS NAME UNTIL
4:00 A.M.
> > SO WHAT I THINK HAPPENED
IS BETWEEN GETTING OLDER AND
THEN NOT HAVING, YOU KNOW,
ALL THE REPS AND TAKING ALL
THE BUMPS THROUGH THE COURSE
OF THE YEAR, I MEAN, IT
EVENTUALLY IT CAUGHT UP WITH
ME.
AND SO I THINK THAT EXPLAINS
WHAT HAPPENS IN NEW ORLEANS.
I THINK THAT'S WHY THE
CONCUSSION.
IT'S ONE CONCUSSION AND ONE
MATCH DESTROYED MY
CONFIDENCE.
I DON'T EVEN THINK ANYBODY
EVEN KNEW REALLY.
> > I DIDN'T KNOW.
I WAS NERVOUS.
HE SEEMED LIKE THIS IS
ANOTHER DAY AT WORK FOR HIM.
DIDN'T SHAKE HIM AT ALL.
> > IT WAS TRIPLE H THAT
REALLY SPOTTED IT.
AND I'M WAITING TO GO OUT
JUST RIDDLED WITH SELF-DOUBT.
TRIPLE H CAME TO ME, YOU
KNOW, HE WAS JUST LIKE, HEY,
REMEMBER WHO THE
YOU ARE.
> > SHOW THEM WHO THE
YOU ARE.
LAST YEAR.
KILL THIS THING.
> > AND I REMEMBER THAT BEING
MIND BLOWING TO ME.
LIKE, THIS IS THE
UNDERTAKER.
IT WAS HARD FOR ME TO
CONTEMPLATE THAT HE HAD THOSE
DOUBTS.
> > IT WAS ENOUGH TO GET ME
THROUGH THAT MATCH.
> > RESTORED A LITTLE BIT OF
MY CONFIDENCE.
> > MARK CALLOWAY, ALSO KNOWN
AS THE UNDERTAKER.
I GOT THOSE ANSWERS A LOT
QUICKER THIS YEAR.
> > YES, YOU DID.
> > FOR HIM, THE UNDERTAKER
WAS BACK.
> > WHAT YOU'RE WATCHING IS
THE GUNSLINGER BACK IN
ACTION.
> > EVERYTHING THAT HE WAS
FEELING WAS GONE AND THAT IT
WASN'T THERE ANYMORE FROM
FANS ALL WENT AWAY AND IT WAS
BACK.
> > GOING TO TAKE BROCK FOR A
LAST RIDE.
> > WHAT?
> > CHOKE SLAM.
CHOKE SLAM.
> > WHAT'S GOING ON IS I'M
GETTING MY CONFIDENCE BACK.
OKAY, YOU CAN STILL DO THIS.
WHAT'S ALSO HAPPENING IS MORE
WEAR AND TEAR.
> > HE'S NOT BY ANY STRETCH OF
THE IMAGINATION SOMEBODY THAT
WAS GOING TO MAKE EXCUSES.
HE'S NOT GOING TO SAY, OH, I
DIDN'T LIKE THAT MATCH, BUT
YOU KNOW, MY HIP WAS HURTING.
NO, HIS HIP ALWAYS HURTS.
BOTH HIPS ALWAYS HURT.
> > WHEN I GOT IN THE RUMBLE,
I KNEW.
I WAS LIKE, WHAT HAVE I DONE?
> > AND ROMAN REIGNS WITH HIS
EYES SET ON THE MAN STANDING
IN THE RING, THE UNDERTAKER.
> > YOU'RE ABOUT TO PUT YOUR
WHOLE LEGACY ON THE LINE AND
YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE NO
BUSINESS BEING IN THAT MATCH.
THAT MATCH SHOULD BE SOMEBODY
ELSES.
> > REGARDLESS OF MY INJURIES,
REGARDLESS OF MY AGE,
REGARDLESS OF EVERYTHING
THAT'S HAPPENED, IF I'M ON
THE CARD, THERE'S SOME YOUNG
GUY THAT'S MAKING A LOT OF,
YOU KNOW, THE SHOWS THROUGH
THE YEAR, YOU KNOW, THAT MAY
NOT BE ON THAT CARD.
SO IT'S MY DUTY TO MAKE SURE
THAT IT IS-- IT'S WORTH
PUTTING ME ON THE CARD.
NO ONE WOULD PROBABLY SAY
ANYTHING TO MY FACE IF I
STUNK IT UP, BUT I WOULD
KNOW.
AND, YOU KNOW, THAT'S ONE OF
MY BIGGEST FEARS.
IS KIND OF BECOMING A PARODY
OF MYSELF.
> > ALWAYS THINK THIS WAY.
IT WOULD KILL ME TO KNOW,
LIKE, SOME DAD WHO WATCHED ME
WHEN HE WAS YOUNG HAS TO TURN
TO HIS SON AND GO, MAN, YEAH,
I MEAN HE'S MOVING KIND OF
SLOW NOW, BUT YOU SHOULD HAVE
SEEN HIM TEN, 15 YEARS AGO,
YOU KNOW?
THAT'S JUST LIKE-- YOU KNOW,
I KNOW REALITY IS THAT YEAH,
I'VE SLOWED DOWN, BUT STILL,
I TRY TO BRING THE-- I TRY
TO BRING THE BEST PACKAGE
THAT I CAN ON THAT NIGHT.
SO JUST BECAUSE LIKE I SAID,
IT WOULD JUST KILL ME IF I
WAS, LIKE-- YEAH, YOU SHOULD
HAVE SEEN HIM WHEN, YOU KNOW,
AND NOT, YOU KNOW-- NOT WHAT
HE IS NOW.

IS THAT YOU DON'T KNOW
SOMETIMES.
YOU KNOW, YOU SEE BRET FAVRE,
AND HE'S PLAYING FOR THE
VIKINGS.
AND HE STILL SHOWS THAT THROW
INTO THE END ZONE LAST
SECOND, STILL THERE.
IT JUST MIGHT NOT BE THERE AS
MUCH.
SO WHEN IS THE TIME?
YOU KNOW, AND IS IT FAIR FOR
ANYONE TO TELL THAT PERSON
WHEN IT'S TIME WITH THAT KIND
OF CAREER BEHIND THEM?
THEY HAVE CARTE BLANCHE TO
SAY WHEN IT'S TIME.
THEREIN LIES THE DIFFICULTY.
> > THAT'S ALL RIGHT, MAN,
SMOKE AND MIRRORS.

AND EASY TO TALK TO HIM.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
AS MUCH AS I COULD PICK HIS
BRAIN FOR WORK STUFF, IT'S
NICE TO HEAR REAL LIFE STUFF
AND EXPERIENCES AND HOW HE
CARRIES HIMSELF.
EVERYTHING THAT I'VE DONE--
HE'S ALREADY DONE IT TEN
TIMES AND SEEN ALL THE PLACES
I'M GOING TO GO OR ALREADY
BEEN.

TO TALK TO HIM AND STUFF.

TOO MUCH ABOUT IT TOO SOON,
THEN I THINK ABOUT IT TOO
MUCH.

BIGGEST BUSINESS OF MY
CAREER.
THIS IS THE PART WHERE IT'S
WEIRD, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
THIS IS THE HINDSIGHT, LIKE
PINCH ME, DOESN'T FEEL REAL.
AM I STILL SLEEPING?
> > THIS IS MY YARD NOW.
> > I'M GOING TO BE ABLE TO
SHARE THE RING WITH THE
UNDERTAKER.
I'M GOING TO LIVE WITH THIS
FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.
BEST WAY TO SUM IT UP, IT'S
JUST A GREAT HONOR.
IT WAS A RESPONSIBILITY TOO,
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
I HAD FAITH IN MYSELF, BUT
LIKE AT THE SAME TIME, YOU
JUST WANT TO DO RIGHT BY
TAKER.
FOR THE PAST 25 YEARS,
REGARDLESS IF IT WAS 20
PEOPLE WATCHING OR 20,000
PEOPLE WATCHING, THE TINIEST
OF TOWNS ON A FRIDAY OR
SUNDAY OR ON THE BIGGEST
STAGE OF THEM ALL, HE HAD TO
BE THE UNDERTAKER.
HE'S GOT THAT RESPONSIBILITY
TO BE THIS PERSON.
THIS CHARACTER, THIS ROLE
MODEL.
IT ONLY TAKES THAT ONE
PERSON, IT'S THE UNDERTAKER.
IN ORDER TO BE AS SUCCESSFUL
AS HIM AND TO GET TO THAT
POINT IN YOUR CAREER, YOU
HAVE TO TAKE EVERY SINGLE DAY
LIKE IT'S A WRESTLEMANIA.
AND THAT'S THE HARDEST PART.
HE IS THAT GUY.
AND IT'S JUST ULTIMATE
RESPECT.
> > WE'RE GOOD.
WE'RE GOING TO TEAR IT UP.
> > I APPRECIATE IT.
> > THANK YOU SO MUCH.
> > YEP.
> > THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF
PRESSURE.
THAT'S WHAT SEPARATES BEING
GOOD AND GREAT AND BEING A
LEGEND.

DO THIS SLOW?
I THINK YOU DID THIS IN 29.
> > YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK I'M
GOING TO DO?

LITTLE TWEAKS HERE AND THERE.
I FEEL LIKE SUITING MORE
CHARACTER.
THIS IS WHERE I START PUTTING
IN THE LASER FOCUS.
THE MENTAL IMAGERY REALLY
STARTS TO KICK IN.
WHAT YOU WANT TO DO TO GET
ACCOMPLISHED.
HOW YOU WANT TO GET IT
ACCOMPLISHED.
YOU KNOW, FOR ME, MOVE ENOUGH
THAT I'M NOT STIFF.
> > DO YOU WANT TO GO OUT THIS
WAY AND GO UP?
> > I'LL GO UP.
> > OKAY.
COOL.
> > I DON'T GET MUCH COOLER
THAN THAT, DOES IT?
THIS IS THE QUIET BEFORE THE
STORM.
> > THIS MORNING ALWAYS SEEMS
TO START EXCESSIVELY EARLY.
I DON'T NEED TO BE AWAKE YET,
BUT I'M ALREADY LAYING THERE
STARING UP AT THE CEILING,
YOU KNOW?
RUNNING THINGS THROUGH MY
MIND.
KIND OF GET YOUR CONFIDENCE
FLOWING.
YOUR SWAGGER.
OBVIOUSLY AT THE END OF THE
NIGHT, I WANT PEOPLE TO LEAVE
THAT STADIUM TALKING ABOUT
THE ROMAN REIGNS, UNDERTAKER
MATCH.
I GUESS PROBABLY WHAT I WORRY
MOST ABOUT, MAKING SURE THAT
THE PEOPLE ARE GETTING WHAT
THEY PAY TO SEE.
THEY SAY FIGHTERS CAN GROW
OLD AND ONE FIGHT, SO YOU
KNOW, HOPEFULLY THIS ISN'T
THAT FIGHT.
> > HELLO, SIR.
> > HOW ARE YOU?
> > GOOD TO SEE YOU.
> > WHAT'S UP, BROTHER?
I'M HANGING IN THERE.
> > WHEN HE WALKS IN, HE HAS
THIS PRESENCE AND EVERYONE
KNOWS THAT HE'S THERE.
EVEN IF YOU DON'T SEE HIM
SOMEHOW YOU JUST KNOW.
A LOT OF US YOUNGER GUYS, WE
GET EXCITED.
HE HAS THIS ULTIMATE CALMNESS
ABOUT HIMSELF.
AND YOU JUST SIT SILENTLY,
YOU KNOW, LIKE WAITING FOR
WHAT HE'S GOING TO SAY.
> > CHICKS LOVE SCARS, IT'S
GREAT.
> > HAVE FUN OUT THERE.
BE SAFE.
I'LL SEE YOU ON THE OTHER
SIDE.
> > ALL RIGHT MAN.
> > FIND THE TRAINERS.
I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHERE THEY
ARE.
> > YEAH, THAT'S DEFINITELY
GOOD WITH THAT.
HEY BROTHER.
> > YOU OKAY?
> > YEAH, I'M GOOD.
> > KNOCK THEM DEAD TONIGHT.
> > THANK YOU, BROTHER.
> > I THINK SO.
> > MIDNIGHT OR SOMETHING?
> > YEAH.
> > THE UNDERTAKER'S NEVER ON
CAMERA.
HE DOESN'T DO PODCASTS.
WHEN I SAW HIM BEING FOLLOWED
AROUND BY A CAMERA CREW, I
WAS LIKE, OH, IS THIS
DOCUMENTING THE LAST WEEKEND
OF THE UNDERTAKER'S CAREER?
YOU BEEN OUT THERE YET?
> > RIGHT NOW.
> > THERE'S A LOT.
> > HAVE YOU NOT SEEN IT?
> > NO.
> > LONGER THAN EVER.
> > YEAH.
80 YARDS.
> > 80 YARDS?
> > YEAH.
> > I THINK THE LAST THING
ANYONE WANTS TO DO IS BECOME
A CARICATURE OF HIMSELF.
WHATEVER PAINS HE WAS
FEELING, HE SAID SCREW IT, IF
IF IT'S THE LAST TIME, I HAVE
TO LEAVE THEM WANTING MORE.
> > HE IS THE TOUGHEST GUY
EVER.
HE'S BATTLED TESTED.
THAT GUY HAS GONE THROUGH
EVERYTHING.
AS WE GET OLDER, EVEN THOUGH
OUR BRAIN SAYS GO, OUR BODY
SAYS NO, BUT RED LIGHT HITS,
ALL THE SUDDEN YOU CAN'T HELP
IT.
> > PEOPLE SAY, ALL YOU'VE GOT
TO DO IS CHOKE SLAM SOMEBODY,
EVERYBODY'S GOING TO BE
HAPPY, MAKE YOUR ENTRANCE.
NO, I'M NOT GOING TO BE
HAPPY.
LIKE, WHEN I SAY, YOU KNOW--
AND THIS IS NOT JUST STUPID
MAN PRIDE OR, YOU KNOW, CLAY
CHEZ STUFF, I'M EITHER GOING
TO GO OUT WITH A MATCH THAT'S
FIEND, THE UNDERTAKER AT
WRESTLEMANIA, OR I'M GOING
OUT ON MY SHIELD ONE WAY OR
ANOTHER.
> > TONIGHT, WIN, LOSE, OR
DRAW IT'S GOING TO BE TOUGH
NOT TO BE EMOTIONAL.
WE DON'T KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING
TO BE THE LAST TIME.
I DON'T CARE WHAT ROMAN
REIGNS DOES OVER THE NEXT
YEARS, THIS WILL BE THE
BIGGEST MATCH ROMAN REIGNS
WILL EVER HAVE.
> > THERE'S A REAL PRESSURE.
THIS IS THE LAST ONE YOU KNOW
WHAT I MEAN AND I'M HIS LAST
OPPONENT, IT'S A LITTLE WEIRD
TO THINK ABOUT IT, YOU KNOW
WHAT I MEAN?
FOR HIM TO CRESCENDO PROBABLY
THE GREATEST CAREER OF ALL
TIME, ESPECIALLY AT
WRESTLEMANIA AND FOR ME TO BE
HIS OPPONENT AND GIVE HIM THE
LAST RIDE THAT HE DESERVES,
IT'S SURREAL.
> > LET US IN.
LET US IN.
> > THERE'S NOT MANY
SITUATIONS THAT I CAN'T
FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE IT
WORK WITHIN THE WRESTLING
INDUSTRY.
AND INSTEAD OF BEING ABLE TO
BE CREATIVE AND FOCUS ON THE
MATCH, I'M HAVING TO FIGURE
OUT, OKAY, HOW AM I GOING TO
SELL THIS AND HOW AM I GOING
TO GET UP AND DO THIS, AND
HOW AM I GOING TO DO THAT
WHEN ALL THAT STARTS FEEDING
IN, IT BREAKS DOWN THE WHOLE
PROCESS.
> > I THINK THERE WERE A LOT
OF EMOTIONS GOING ON THAT
DAY.
MARK ALWAYS PUTS THE PRESSURE
ON HIMSELF.
HE KNOWS THAT HE WANTS TO GO
OUT THERE AND DELIVER FOR THE
FANS.
HE KNOWS HE WANTS TO DELIVER
FOR VINCE, AND HE KNOWS HE
WANTS TO GO OUT THERE AND
DELIVER FOR HIMSELF.
> > WITH ME, IT'S BUSINESS.
THE BUSINESS COMES FIRST.
FIRST AND FOREMOST.
THAT'S WHERE WE'RE HERE.
OUR JOB IS TO GO OUT AND BE
FIRST CLASS PROFESSIONAL
ENTERTAINERS AND TO GIVE OUR
FANS WHAT THEY PAID THEIR
HARD EARNED MONEY TO SEE.
> > I COME FROM AN ERA OF IF
YOU CAN WALK TO THE RING, YOU
CAN GO TO THE RING AND WORK.
> > LOOK AT THIS.
OH MY.
> > TAKER WOULD GO OUT THERE
AND DELIVER EVERY NIGHT.
I'VE SEEN HIM GO OUT THERE
WITH 103-DEGREE FEVER, NEED
AN IV DRIP AS SOON AS HE GOT
TO GORILLA BECAUSE IT WAS
COMING OUT OF BOTH ENDS.
HE STILL WENT OUT THERE FOR
20 MINUTES AND WORKED
NONSTOP.
YOU SET THE BAR FOR WHAT
BEING A WWE SUPERSTAR IS
ABOUT.
> > HE'S LITERALLY BEEN CAUGHT
ON FIRE ON THE WAY TO A
CHAMBER MATCH, STOOD IN THE
POD POURING WATER ON HIMSELF
FOR 20 MINUTES BEFORE HE WENT
OUT AND WRESTLED FOR 30 MORE
MINUTES WITH SECOND DEGREE
BURN.
HE LITERALLY DOES NOT MAKE
EXCUSES.
> > WE NEVER HAD A GUY THAT
WAS MORE RELIABLE THAN TAKER.
HE'S A TOUGH PISTOL SON OF A
HE REALLY TRULY IS.
> > I KNEW HE WAS HURTING WHEN
WE WERE TOURING THE COUNTRY
AND THE WORLD AND HAVING EPIC
MATCHES.
I LEFT THE CELL MATCH IN MUCH
WORSE SHAPE.
HE HAD ACTUALLY ENTERED THAT
MATCH WITH A BROKEN FOOT.
AND THEY DON'T COME ANY
TOUGHER THAN THE UNDERTAKER.
> > THE UNDERTAKER THROUGH THE
TABLE.
> > DON'T EMBARRASS YOURSELF,
DON'T EMBARRASS THE COMPANY,
DON'T EMBARRASS VINCE.
IT'S JUST THE WAY THAT I
THOUGHT THAT THINGS NEEDED TO
BE DONE FOR THE SAKE OF THE
BUSINESS.
THE PROCESS HAS BECOME BIGGER
AND BIGGER EACH YEAR TO GET
ME TO A PLACE WHERE I CAN GO
OUT AND DELIVER THAT
PERFORMANCE.
JUST KEEP MOVING IT.
> > TRY TO DO THAT.
> > IF YOU STAY AROUND AS LONG
AS I HAVE, YOUR BODY'S GOING
TO BREAK DOWN AT SOME POINT.
AND MY BODY WAS AT THE LIMIT
OF WHAT IT COULD TAKE.
> > AND UP AND DOWN A BUNCH.
OKAY, STOP.
> > THAT FEELS PRETTY GOOD.
> > TELL THE DIFFERENCE?
> > YEAH.
TAKEN THE HINGE OFF OF IT.
> > AND THE HIT TOO.
> > YEAH.
> > GOOD TO SEE YOU.
> > I CAN TELL YOU FOR CERTAIN
AFTER ALL THESE YEARS AND ALL
THESE WRESTLEMANIAS, THERE'S
NOT ONE TIME THAT I HAD NOT
BEEN EXTREMELY NERVOUS OR HAD
THAT FEELING IN MY STOMACH
BEFORE I GO OUT.
> > THE GREATEST PERFORMER IN
WRESTLEMANIA HISTORY, 23-1,
THE PHENOM, THE UNDERTAKER
VERSUS THE ROMAN EMPIRE OF
ROMAN REIGNS.
> > IT IS HARD TO EVEN
DESCRIBE ALL THE EMOTIONS
THAT YOU GO THROUGH, ALL THE
JITTERS, THE CONCERNS.
AM I READY?
I MEAN, IT'S JUST-- I MEAN,
IT'S BIG TIME.
> > ONE OF THE MOST
CONTROVERSIAL FIGURES PERHAPS
IN WWE HISTORY, ROMAN REIGNS.
> > THIS IS A MAGNIFICENT
ATHLETE.
AND HE'S GOT SO MUCH TO GAIN
HERE TONIGHT WITH A VICTORY
OVER THE DEAD MAN AT
WRESTLEMANIA.
> > YOU MAY HAVE NEVER SEEN
BRUCE WALK IN THE YANKEE
STADIUM OR JOE MONTANA WALK
INTO CANDLESTICK, BUT YOU'RE
SEEING THE UNDERTAKER AT
WRESTLEMANIA.
BELIEVE ME, THAT IS A BUCKET
LIST RIGHT THERE.
HE'S THE GREATEST PERFORMER
IN WRESTLEMANIA HISTORY.
> > THE BELL SOUNDS, WE'RE
READY TO GO.
REMEMBER, NO HOLDS BARRED.
THIS ONE WILL NOT BE FOR THE
WEAK AT ART.
WHOSE BODY WILL FAIL THEM
FIRST?
> > MY YARD.
> > YOU HEARD IT RIGHT THERE.
> > HERE WE GO.
GOT A LITTLE SNAKE EYES,
WATCH OUT.
> > OH NO.
> > DOG, WHAT A RIGHT HAND.
> > UH-OH, THIS IS NOT GOOD.
GET OUT OF THE WAY, GUYS.
> > WHEN THERE'S BLOOD IN THE
WATER, IT'S A GREAT WHITE
RIGHT THERE.
> > UNDERTAKER SENDING THE END
IS NEAR.
OH MY GOD.
A SPEAR RIGHT THROUGH THE
HEART OF THE UNDERTAKER.
> > WHOSE YARD IS IT NOW,
TAKER?
> > YOU WANT TO FIND OUT,
ROMAN?
> > UNDERTAKER HAS GOT SOME
DEVILISH IMAGINATION.
> > GOOD NIGHT.
> > WHOSE YARD IS IT NOW?
> > ONE, TWO--
> > REIGNS HAS TAKEN A TOMB
STONE PILE DRIVER AND HAS
SURVIVED-- OH, LOOK OUT.
OH REIGNS.
TRYING TO OVERPOWER THE
UNDERTAKER.
AND UNDERTAKER TRYING TO GET
HIS LEGS UP.
TRYING TO GO SOMETHING LIKE
HIS OWN TOMBSTONE PILE DRIVER
OR SOMETHING.
OH.
> > WHAT A SUPERMAN PUNCH THAT
CONNECTED.
> > STAY DOWN.
STAY DOWN.
> > THE UNDERTAKER KEEPS
GETTING UP.
> > THE UNDERTAKER'S ALIVE.
THE FANS MUST BE THINKING,
WHAT THE HELL DO I HAVE TO DO
TO BEAT THIS LEGEND?
WILL THIS DO IT?
NO, IT WON'T DO IT.
> > THAT IS THE HEART OF THE
UNDERTAKER.
ROMAN REIGNS IS GOING TO HAVE
TO PUT THE PHENOM DOWN.
> > ONE, TWO, THREE.
> > LEGENDS GO OUT ON THEIR
OWN SHIELD AND THEY GO OUT ON
THEIR OWN TERMS.
HE ALMOST GOT THE IMPRESSION
THAT ROMAN REIGNS DIDN'T WANT
TO PUT THE UNDERTAKER AWAY.
> > THE UNDERTAKER EMPTIED
EVERYTHING IN HIS ARSENAL,
MAYBE EVERYTHING IN HIS SOUL.
> > ARE YOU OKAY?
> > YEAH.
> > I DON'T KNOW IF I COULD
EVEN FATHOM WHAT IT TRULY
MEANT TO HIM.
IT DIDN'T MATTER IF HE
STOPPED TONIGHT OR TEN YEARS
AGO, HE'S LEFT HIS MARK IN
THE RING.
HE'S BEEN A LEGEND FOR QUITE
SOME TIME.
I THINK LEAVING EVERYTHING
OUT THERE IS KIND OF LIKE
TURNING INTO MY HUSBAND.
HE'S TURNING INTO MARK
CALLOWAY, YEAH, HE WASN'T
AFRAID TO BE VULNERABLE.
COME AND GIVE ME A KISS AND
CHECK ON THE KIDS, OWE KNOW,
AND THAT TOLD US, I'VE HEARD
IT BEFORE THAT I'M DONE, BUT
THAT REALLY SAID THIS IS IT.
> > IT'S KIND OF SURREAL I
GUESS RIGHT NOW.
IT'S 30-PLUS YEARS OF MY LIFE
JUST, YOU KNOW-- IT'S WHAT
I'VE DONE.
HOW DO I FEEL?
LIKE I HAD THE HELL BEAT OF
ME.
THAT'S HOW I FEEL.
> > OBVIOUSLY THIS IS GOING TO
TAKE SOME GETTING USED TO.
I'M NOT GOING TO LIE, THERE'S
GOING TO BE TIMES WHERE I'M
WATCHING THE SHOW AND
THINKING LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT,
I THINK I STILL GOT ENOUGH
LEFT IN THE TANK TO DO
SOMETHING, BUT I DON'T KNOW.
> > WHY DIDN'T YOU COME TO ME?
I WAS WAITING FOR YOU IN MY
LIFE.
EVERYBODY GOT OUT THERE HAVE.
> > I TRIED AS CLOSE AS I
COULD GET.
THAT'S AS CLOSE AS I COULD
GET.
RIGHT NOW I'M PRETTY CONTENT
RIDING OFF INTO THE SUNSET
AND SEEING-- WE'LL SEE WHAT
TOMORROW BRINGS.
> > I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU
> > ALL RIGHT.
YOU HAPPY?
> > I'M VERY HAPPY.
> > OKAY.
THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS.
THANK YOU.
> > THANK YOU.
> > ALWAYS RIDDEN, RIGHT?
GOING TO SLAP ME IN THE BACK?
> > MARK HAD SO MANY
OPERATIONS AND THINGS OF THAT
NATURE, BUT ALWAYS CAME BACK
TO WHAT HE LOVED AND ALWAYS
HAD THAT SENSE OF
RESPONSIBILITY.
THANK YOU.
MARK ONCE TOLD ME, IF WE EVER
GET TO A SITUATION WHERE I
JUST, I'M GOING OUT THERE AND
I CAN'T DO WHAT I'M SUPPOSED
TO DO, TELL ME.
I THINK THAT MOST EVERYONE
COULD SENSE THAT HE WAS
TRYING, BUT HE WASN'T THERE.
AND HE KNEW IN HIS HEART THAT
IT WASN'T THERE.
> > > I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED IN
MY PERFORMANCE.
AND THE FACT THAT I LET
MYSELF DO THAT.
THE PROBLEM WAS, MY BODY WAS
AT THE LIMIT.
> > THE PLAN IS TO RESURFACE
YOUR HIP.
> > IF HE THINKS VINCE NEEDS
HIM, HE'S IN.
> > I NEED REDEMPTION.
THAT'S THE DRIVING FORCE TO
PROVE TO THE WORLD WHO I AM
AND WHAT I DO.
