Throughout his appearance alongside Joe Rogan, the Undertaker spent plentiful time detailing the many, many injuries that he endured in his career, and the subsequent surgeries and continuous pain caused by said injuries.

With Rogan fascinated by the 270-day annual schedule of 'Taker back in the '90s, and the sheer damage that schedule alone can have on the human body, Joe pondered whether it's possible for any wrestlers to ever make it out of the business without utterly wrecking their body.

For the Undertaker, he could think of just one solitary wrestler who's had no long-lasting issues or suffered no major injuries in their career and beyond. That person? Chris Jericho.

The fact that Jericho is still an active weekly performer on an international wrestling show at 50 years of age, that's largely down to how Le Champion has managed to avoid serious injuries over the 30 years since he made his in-ring debut.

After briefly discussing Jericho, Undertaker and Rogan went onto spitball back and forth over the injuries suffered by other all-time greats such as the neck issues that Steve Austin and Kurt Angle battled in their respective careers.
