The Undertaker: I Work More Now Than In The Last 10 Years, Retirement Is Not Quite How I Envisioned It

The Undertaker talks about his retired life.

He wrestled his final WWE match as The American Badass at WrestleMania 35, where he defeated AJ Styles in a Boneyard match. Since then, Undertaker has become a podcaster and joined AAA as a creative member of the team.

Speaking with Chris Van Vliet at Fanatics Fest, The Undertaker was asked about his retired life.

“I can’t tell. I work more now than in the last 10 years I was on the road wrestling. I’m always gone. I’m always at places like this now. Retirement is not quite how I envisioned it.”

The Deadman says he started thinking about retirement way too late in his career. Originally, he had planned to do a lot of things, but then more opportunities came up that filled his calendar once again.

“Unfortunately way too late (when he started thinking about retiring). I think it was November 22nd, 2020 when it dawned on me like, ‘You might need to find something else to do here.’ … I was thinking about wrapping it up but I envisioned myself like, ‘Alright, I’m going hunting and doing all those things that I wasn’t really able to do while I was on the road.’ That’s what I started out doing. Then things started popping up, [I] started doing a podcast and then this thing came up and that thing came up. It’s just like all of a sudden my calendar’s full again and I hadn’t been out on a mountain or on a lake in a while so it’s really cutting into my outdoor life.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Undertaker provided an update on the ‘Six Feet Under’ podcast. Fans can read his full comments here.
