10 Images That Proved 2017 Was Wrestling’s Craziest Year Ever

4. Deadman Walking?

Though neither WWE nor 'The Deadman' himself have confirmed it (and frankly, why would they?) The Undertaker's evocative WrestleMania farewell was the latest hint that the iconic character may finally be resting in peace after several years of diminished returns on the 'Grandest Stage'.

His match with Roman Reigns was a pained reminder of why he should have gone much sooner, but the emotion that filled Orlando as he departed down the company's longest ever exit path helped carry his aching limbs.

Undertaker didn't so much put over 'The Big Dog' as he did permit his yard to be p*ssed on. Despite the build-up, the two weren't remotely competitive and couldn't even present such a veneer. 'Taker literally looked like a withered version of his dominant foe, with their bodged Tombstone reversal segment eerily reminiscent of Ric Flair's failure to properly bridge out of a pin during his own retirement match with Shawn Michaels in the very same building.

Credit to WWE photographers for capturing the moment he disrobed so majestically before departing. The sight of his hat, gloves and jacket in the ring with his exit already confined to the blurred background was far more beautiful a memory than any the match could conjure.
