3. ‘Taker Takes Responsibility For It

The Undertaker takes full blame for the Crown Jewel hiccup on his own Network documentary. It seems a bit harsh that he'd put everything that went wrong on his own shoulders (he didn't tear Trips' pec, and he didn't haul Kane's mask off his head to reveal bald spots).

Still, 'Taker knew he wasn't mentally set going in. He reveals that he and Michelle McCool were going through some personal problems at home around that time, so he wasn't fully-focused on what he hoped could be a career-ending magnum opus to be proud of.

For those keeping score, that's two times alone in 2018 that 'Taker wanted to end his run, and two times that either short or crappy matches stopped him from doing so. He was still seeking that one killer last hurrah, and couldn't walk away after the "train wreck" in Saudi.

Don't be so hard on yourself, 'Phenom'.
