WWE legend The Undertaker reveals a list of his Mount Rushmore of professional wrestling
The Undertaker recently spoke with Kevin Hart’s Cold As Balls on the Laugh Out Loud Youtube channel (h/t Wrestling Inc.), where the legendary wrestler gave his list of Mount Rushmore of wrestling. The list has some of the greats of the game.
“Andre. Stone Cold. Rock.
“And I’m going to go with Shawn Michaels.”
Except for Andre The Giant, Taker had some of the most iconic matches with all the other wrestlers, especially Shawn Michaels. No one can forget the Twenty-fifth anniversary of WrestleMania when these two legends went head to head to give one of the best matches in the history of WWE.
In the show, The Phenom also discussed his retirement and revealed that he underwent more than 18 surgeries in his whole career. His heart wanted to continue, but the body just couldn’t. He also said that these fights are catastrophic and dangerous, which is why disclaimers are given at the start.
“In my mind, I wanted to do it and in my heart, I still wanted to do it.
“But I realized, my body couldn’t do what it used to do. The injuries, I couldn’t even put a number on. The surgeries, I’ve had upwards of 17/18 surgeries. Everybody feels like they’ve got to give that disclaimer right away, you know, ‘that sh*t’s not real is it?’ Well, it’s real enough to cause 17 surgeries. People don’t realize that within the course of a match, you’re only a couple of inches away at any given time from something really catastrophic. Those two inches are a really great night or a really bad night.”
