We kind of knew it was coming all along. Wrestlemania proved to be the last hurrah for one of the greatest wrestlers to even grace the ring in The Undertaker. While a sizable swatch of the fanbase was not pleased with his loss to Roman Reigns to cap off his career, the fitting finish of leaving his gear in the ring left hardly a dry eye in the house.
Now that the dust has settled and we know that this is it for Undertaker, the rest of the wrestling world is reacting to his swan song. With various responses from people in the industry, such as The Miz, Renee Young, Booker T, Jerry Lawler, as well as the many fans that inhabit the /r/SquaredCircle subreddit, it is truly a touching tribute to someone who has given his all to the industry over the last several decades.

Regardless of what your personal opinions are on the match on Sunday, you can’t let that shade your judgment on his career or the legacy he has left in wrestling. He will be a quick induction into the Hall of Fame as well as one of the greatest inspirations to everybody to come after him.
On behalf of all of us at Wrestling Rumors, #ThankYouTaker.
