The Undertaker Addresses His Career During The Last Ride

During Chapter 5 of The Last Ride, The Undertaker addressed his career moving forward:

"Never say never, but at this point in my life and my career, I have no desire to get back in the ring. I have a pit in my stomach right now. I'm at a point, this time the cowboy really rides away. There's nothing left for me to conquer, there's nothing left for me to accomplish. The game has changed. It's time for new guys to come up and the time just seems right.

I think this documentary has helped me discover that. It's really opened my eyes to the bigger picture and it's allowed me to not judge myself as hard especially over these last few years and to see things on a broader scale. My peers giving their insight, I really got a genuine sense that they care for me and want the best for me. It's been very humbling, allowing this part of me to come out and have people accept it. I've only given them The Undertaker. They hadn't gotten Mark Calaway. I can do more good outside the ring now than I can do inside and I'm finally at a place where I'm able to accept that. I'm okay with it."

These comments were made upon reflecting on his sense of pride for the Boneyard Match, the sudden death of his brother Tim the day prior to the match along with the passing of Michelle McCool’s nephew and Kobe Bryant. More than anything, his comments speak to the fact that time is the greatest thief of all and he needs to focus on his family.

The Undertaker also gave high praise to his family on the road such as Brian Adams, Yokozuna, The Godfather, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Bret Hart and a few others he named along with highlighting his special relationship with Vince McMahon.

This was undoubtedly a spectacular series that was well produced, extremely revealing and particularly timely. I cannot recommend it enough.
