The Undertaker Says He Nearly Turned Into A 'Blubbering Idiot' During His Retirement Speech

During an interview on the Victory Over Injury podcast, The Undertaker reflected on his retirement speech during the 2020 Survivor Series pay-per-view and addressed why it wasn't long.

"I’d already come to peace with my decision, but it was really real once I put the hat and coat on. Knowing I was putting the hat and coat on for the last time and walking to the ring in that capacity, it was tough. It was probably best that I didn’t say much more than I did or I would have killed 30 years of work and turning into a blubbering idiot. It was a tough moment. I had already come to grips with the fact that I had gotten everything out of this sponge that you’re going to get, but when I put the hat and the coat on, things feel different. ‘I might have one more in me’. No, that was it."
