The Undertaker says he's currently "rediscovering who Mark Calaway is".

This man spent years fiercely protecting his character, and that meant sacrificing a lot of downtime in between matches/shows. Now, he's pleased he has the time to do that, and to give back to his family for sticking by him even when he wasn't mentally checked in.

Obviously, the legendary star misses wrestling, but admits "it's nice being at home". By his own admission (this is one of the pod's most powerful reveals), 'Taker wasn't very good at balancing his home and working life. In fact, this post-retirement period is the first time in his family's lives that "they're the priority".

Wow.

Again, in his own words, Calaway says "that sounds horrible, and it is". He always struggled to switch off after coming home, and he was constantly thinking about what was coming next in WWE. Being able to relax for the first time in 30+ years is a treat then.
