The Undertaker has taken his "Last Ride" at the WWE WrestleMania 33, retiring after almost 27-years in the WWE franchise, after suffering his second defeat in the pay-per-view at the hands of Roman Reigns. Current and former WWE stars reacted on Twitter about "The Deadman's" retirement.
According to a report from Fansided, the match with Reigns was brutal and long for the Undertaker, whose real name is Mark William Calaway, as the duo exchanged blows. There were chair-shots some "Chokeslams" and "Last Rides."
The report adds that there were also some "Tombstone Piledrivers," Taker's signature move, as "The Deadman" tried to defeat Reigns. But Reigns was able to kick out after that, and in the end came out with the 1-2-3, but not before delivering multiple "Spears" and "Superman Punches" to keep The Undertaker from kicking out.
The loss marks the second time "The Deadman" tasted defeat at WrestleMania after Brock Lesnar defeated him at WrestleMania 30. But it was what came after the match with Reigns that had people buzzing.
Taker sat-up after the match, put on his hat and his trench coat and stood in the ring. He walked around the ring while looking at the crowd and was seemingly on his way out of the ring when he stopped and returned to the center to take off his gloves and placed them on the ring.
Then he took his trench coat off, folded it and placed it on top of the gloves, and finally, his hat is placed above the pile. He took a deep breath, went down the ring, went to his wife, gave her a kiss, and then walked back, signifying his retirement from wrestling. The crowd chanting "Thank you, Taker," disappearing as the lights went out.
Cageside Seats reports that former wrestlers like "The Nature Boy" Rick Flair and Mick Foley reacted on Twitter, with Flair saying that Taker is "the biggest Star in the History of WWE." Foley said that his life "has been so much better" for knowing The Undertaker.
Other WWE stars like The Miz, Renee Young, Stu Bennet, Drew Galloway, and Titus O'Neil also tweeted their reactions and thank you to The Undertaker. The report said that there are more tweets that simply tweeted "#ThankYouTaker." Check out the video of some of the best moments of The Undertaker in WWE.
