10 Things We Learned From WWE’s Undertaker: The Last Ride (Chapter Three)
"It was like a bad comedy movie".
“I think The Undertaker is processing the end”.
Jim Ross has always had a way with words (funny that), and the iconic announcer hit the spot yet again with that quote about 'Taker's post-WrestleMania 33 run so far near the end of this week's 'Last Ride'.

The Undertaker, believe it or not, actually planned to stroll off into the sunset for good after 'Mania 34's match with John Cena. In episode two though, he reasoned that retiring after a two-minute squash might not be a good look to fans, and it wouldn't have been personally satisfying for him either.
Nah, 'Taker craved one last show-stealing performance, and he knew that Vince McMahon would have the answers. As if on cue, Vince pitched a final match with Triple H, one that oddly led to the resumption of another feud 'The Deadman' thought he'd never see again.
