• “You could tell I was out of shape, but I knew what they wanted to do” – The Undertaker
During a recent appearance on Victory Over Injury podcast, WWF Legend The Undertaker recalled being out of shape heading into 2017 due to his major hip issues.
Taker said he knew it was important to pass the torch to Roman Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania 33, and that’s why he went ahead with the match despite not being anywhere near 100% physically.
Here’s what The Phenom said:
“It was disappointing to me, and I knew in January when I was in the Rumble. You could tell I was overweight, I was out of shape, but I knew what they wanted to do.
It was important for me to pass the baton on or do what I could for Roman, who’s the next generation. It was just a bad, bad deal.
That was probably as honest a moment as you’ll ever see in wrestling. Me taking that hat and coat and putting it in the ring, because I knew at that point I was done.
I was so disappointed. Anything else I’d ever accomplished, I couldn’t think of that. I couldn’t think of WrestleMania 25, Houston with Shawn Michaels, all those thoughts were gone.
It was, ‘You just stunk the joint out and you let a lot of people down.’”
