3. One More Deadman Entrance

WWE's "Final Farewell" for The Undertaker back at Survivor Series 2020 never satisfied at all. There were no fans in attendance for a start, and that badly hurt what was supposed to be one last sendoff for Vinnie Mac's greatest ever gimmick. Thank f*ck for this then.

'Taker got one more entrance in front of a massive crowd who bellowed his name. In return, the icon patted his heart and repeatedly said, "Thank you" to his adoring public. After 30+ years of sacrifice and spine-tingling moments, that was richly deserved.

What a way to go out.

It's heartwarming to think that The Undertaker got the chance to say goodbye to his fans properly. No amount of documentaries, shoot interviews or social media posts were ever going to match the tag-team attack of Hall Of Fame induction and WrestleMania stage send off.
