It seems a year can't pass without discussion over just how long The Undertaker can continue to perform at such a high level. It's almost 26 years since 'The Deadman' made his WWF debut back in 1990, yet he is still one of the biggest box-office talents WWE have at their disposal.

At WrestleMania 32, Undertaker defeated Shane McMahon in a Hell In A Cell bout. The match was clearly physical, both guys took some heavy bumps during the 30 minute duration of their performance. Afterwards, 'Taker looked weary and sore, and the clock is surely ticking when it comes to how much time he has left in his career.

According to the Wrestling Observer, The Undertaker told several backstage that the match against Shane would be his last. That's a strong statement, especially when WWE rely so heavily on an Undertaker match to help sell WrestleMania. 

This isn't the first time there's been talk over 'Taker retiring, but the Observer noted that these words came from the horse's mouth on this occasion.
