Booker T Talks Undertaker Possibly Never Wrestling Again, If He Was Surprised By What He Said
After The Undertaker said he may be done wrestling, Booker T was certainly surprised.
On the final episode of the Last Ride documentary, Undertaker did give the infamous “never say never” line but continued by saying, “I’m at a point, it’s time this cowboy really rides away. There’s nothing left for me to conquer or accomplish. The game has changed. It’s time for new guys to come up. The time just seems right. This documentary has helped me discover that and opened my eyes to the bigger picture and not judge myself as harshly these last few years.”
Speaking on his podcast, “The Hall Of Fame With Booker T & Brad Gilmore,” the former WCW champion said he was shocked to hear Undertaker say what he said, but also knows that at some point, every wrestler has limitations
“That right there is a shocking statement. Shocking, but every man got his limitations. I think that’s where we are right now with The Undertaker. Having the little girl and his wife and then also, being in this pandemic era, having a chance to sit back for a minute, open your eyes and think, ‘Wow. I think my priorities might need to re-shift for a second.’ It makes you think,” Booker T said. “I’m sure Mark, The Undertaker, has gotten to the point where he feels he’s done everything in wrestling, seen everything. He’s been all over the world many times over. But to watch her little girl grow up and maybe walk her down the aisle one day, that’s the ultimate championship for him. I know it is for me. I salute him. I definitely give him the salute and say, ‘Hey man, you did it. Nobody else did it better.’ The guy was a leader, the head general.”
Undertaker’s last match was at WrestleMania 36 when he defeated AJ Styles in a Boneyard Match. You can listen to Booker T’s comments in the video at the top of the page.
