10 Christmas Gifts Every WWE Fan Wants For 2019

5. A Fitting Swansong For The Undertaker

...please let The Undertaker walk away with dignity rather than diluting his appeal in tag-team matches worked on shows backed by controversy. Like Crown Jewel.

That's probably a sarky statement, but it's meant more as criticism lobbied against token special appearances that have less and less return. Wheeling 'Taker out for those 'Rest In Peace' promos on TV before he wrestles one off matches on pay-per-view isn't going to cut it for much longer. Fans, finally, are coming to terms with the idea that the great man is about to retire.

When he does, he deserves a fitting send off arguably more than anybody else in the company. We're talking that one final match on his terms, a Hall Of Fame induction that lifts the lid on his real thoughts over the years and a Network special which dives into his unrivalled dedication to the character's mystique.

'Taker is getting old, there's no getting away from that. Before he physically crumbles to the point of embarrassment (like parts of his 'Mania 33 match with Roman Reigns and Crown Jewel tag against DX flirted with), he's worthy of full fan appreciation.
