The Undertaker's 10 Greatest Wrestling Matches Of All Time

In the fifth and final episode of WWE's excellent The Last Ride documentary series, The Undertaker casually revealed that, at this stage of his life, he has "no desire" to step back in the ring.

That, then, without having to do some meticulous folding in front of a packed house, or chase the dragon trying to break the Meltzer scale one last time, is the end of the legendary performer's career. After so much hullabaloo seeking that perfect send-off, it's perhaps more fitting of 'Taker - or rather, Mark Calaway, the mask having finally slipped - to tell us directly that it's over. That man we're looking at is now mortal; The Undertaker can rest in peace.

And good lord does he deserve to. Thirty years is a long time in any profession, but in particular one which sees your body undergo near constant physical punishment. Over the last three decades, Calaway has traded his flesh for our pleasure. Though the road might now be at an end, he leaves behind a legacy of work which is virtually untouchable, and entirely unforgettable.

There's a beautiful, bloody poetry to The Undertaker's feud with Brock Lesnar. Whilst the saga ended with the dilapidated Deadman desperately trying to redeem himself - both personally and narratively - against the man who had ended both his Streak and his prestige, one of their earliest major encounters began with 'Taker trying to raise Brock to his level.

That they both took place in the same unforgiving Hell in a Cell setting is the icing on the cake. And interestingly, somewhat ironically, the outcome was the same. Whilst Undertaker gave his all to restore his glory in defeat to a man clearly now his superior in 2015, thirteen years earlier he was undone by the impetuous bravado of Brock.

A highly motivated Undertaker - not always the case during the Big Evil years - gave his all here too, in a successful bid to make Brock a superstar. And he only took a pint of his blood in the process.
