The Undertaker will forever be regarded as a legend in the world of professional wrestling. His contributions to the business will never be forgotten as he has given 30 years of his life and sacrificed his body. It seems he also revealed his reason for retiring from pro wrestling.

The Undertaker had his final match against AJ Styles at WrestleMania 36 in a Boneyard match. The match was a resounding success and received a lot of critical praise from fans and Superstars alike.

The Deadman ended his career after that, as he officially announced his retirement from pro wrestling at the WWE Survivor Series pay-per-view last year, bringing an end to an incredible career.

While speaking to Kevin Hart on Cold As Balls, The Undertaker talked about hanging up his pro wrestling boots for good. He stated that while both his heart and mind still want to wrestle, his body simply couldn’t keep up anymore.
