The Undertaker has told the New York Post that extending his iconic WWE career by working a few more cinematic-style matches "really doesn’t appeal to [him]".

It feels like a lifetime ago that 'Taker worked the first ever 'Boneyard Match' opposite AJ Styles at WrestleMania 36 this past April. When asked if he'd be interested in doing something similar again, even just a few more times, the legend said there was no chance.

Why? Well, he thinks working around his physical limitations for a few more years would be insulting to longtime fans who recall him at his best; The Undertaker is fully aware that some of his most recent showings haven't been the best. He pretty much owned up to that during the stellar 'Last Ride' documentary series on WWE Network.

'Taker does agree that he'd be able to tell good stories if he worked exclusively in pre-taped matches, but he's not that interested. He's ready to retire, and he thinks Survivor Series 2020 is the right time to call it quits - that 22 November event happens 30 years to the day since he debuted in 1990.
