WWE legend The Undertaker recently took part in a rare out-of-character interview with The Houston Chronicle to promote SpurRaffle.com. After undergoing a series of surgeries over the past few years, the Dead Man explained why he continues to wrestle.
“Honestly, I love it, that’s why. I’ve got 26 years in the business and all these injuries, but WrestleMania has become so huge, it’s just hard to walk away from it. I want the audience leaving the stadium going ‘Wow!’ It’s a responsibility I have being a top dog in this business. The crowd will let me know when it’s time to leave. They haven’t yet.”
He also revealed that he agrees to wrestle at WrestleMania each year because he wants to please Vince McMahon.
“If I didn’t perform at WrestleMania, in some strange weird way, I’d feel like I was letting Vince McMahon down.”
What does the Undertaker do when he’s away form television for extended periods of time?
“I spend a lot of time with my family, my children. I also work on my horrible golf game. I love golf, but I’m awful. For some reason, I go out there and make myself miserable because I’m so bad it. But most of my time is spent healing up … so I can be the Undertaker again.”
