10 Things We Learned From WWE WrestleMania Weekend 2022
3. The Hall Of Fame Should Have Been The Undertaker’s Ending All Along
Undertaker's multi-part Network documentary told the story of a man that was allegedly hunting for one last great match before his gimmick could at long last - rather fittingly - be put to rest.
Over the filmed period, he kept having matches that ranged in quality just looking for one that would "count" as a suitable retirement match.
One pandemic farewell and a Hall Of Fame induction later, and the whole thing suddenly seems incredibly redundant. He said goodbye to his in-ring career at Survivor Series 2020 amongst nothing but screens, a wav file of his old music and a Paul Bearer hologram. His Hall Of Fame speech, conversely, was something of an all-time great moment for those that lived through it - and his career - live, and the two WrestleMania bows were wonderfully received by the 65,000+ crowds on both nights.
And, the cheeky f*cker dropped a "never say never" in his speech, presumably to give the heads up for the next time there's a massive Saudi payday on the table. He nailed his 2022 goodbye, and it wasn't even a proper one.
