The Undertaker will be giving his ”Final Farewell” at Survivor Series this week. It will feature several names from his career, both past and present.
Vicente Beltran recently spoke to The Undertaker, where among various topics of discussion, he asked the Deadman how he wants to be remembered. The Undertaker has had a storied career in WWE and has competed in several high-profile matches. Ultimately, he simply desires to be remembered as someone who truly loved professional wrestling and gave it his entire life to help it grow.
“I’d want to be remembered as someone who loved this business and gave everything that they had, not only to do well while I was there but to move the business forward. I wanna be remembered as somebody that was always willing to help somebody who wanted to get better, and those are the things that are most important to me is being able to go out there and know that my fans were gonna get what they paid to see.
I never mailed it in, I always went there no matter how bad that I felt, whatever physical condition I was in, I gave ‘em everything that I had, because I always looked at it as, ‘They’re paying their hard earned money to come and see me. I gotta give them what I have,’ and hopefully they know that and appreciate that and then on the professional side of it, always trying to pay it forward and help the next guy along to kind of miss some of the bumps that I had to take and some of the lumps and the learning process. Those I think are the most important things I want to be remembered for.”
The Undertaker has certainly helped elevate the careers of several WWE Superstars such as Jeff Hardy. We will have to see how his ”Final Farewell” turns out.
