The WWE Says Goodbye To The Undertaker.

Like most kids who growing up, I was a fan of professional wrestling. I’m sure everyone bonded with their parents differently; with my mom it was cooking and comedy. With my dad it was definitely entertainment. From movies to reality (sometimes trashy) tv, we would watch it all together. I remember I called in to the Jerry Springer show in Connecticut to get tickets for us! It was a holiday weekend and it was the final season. It didn’t work with our schedules, but it was cool to get a voicemail from the show saying they had complimentary seats for us!

He would tell me about the Machoman and Hulk Hogan days and we would watch The Rock and Stone Cold since it was current at the time. The Undertaker was a captivating figure in the wresting world, I got familiar with him during his “biker” persona. My dad would tell me about his history and transition as well.

After 30 years in the ring, The Undertaker bid farewell to the WWE to close out Survivor Series this past Sunday night. He boldly declared, "My time has come to let the Undertaker rest in peace."
