Okay, now explain the Harper & Bray tag match, Rusev, Cena, and Reigns. Rusev was fine from what I remember. Cena was a squash so...? Harper and Bray I can't remember, and yeah the Reigns match sucked but I still say that's 50/50. In that Rusev match The Undertaker nearly fell over just by doing a few punches. He had to hold onto the top rope to stop himself from falling.

COME ON.
How was his last few matches not confirmation that it’s over? He just can’t go anymore.

Please just let the man rest. Preferably in peace if possible.

Please just let the man rest. Preferably in peace if possible. I imagine that at this point, The Undertaker is Abby the Witch to Vince McMahon's Bray Wyatt. "Why won't you let me rest? I can't stand it. I don't want to be stuck in this limbo anymore!" "Goddamn, pal!! Did somebody say 'limbo'? That's good shit!!"

When Andre was completely broken down and could barely move they put him in tag matches with Haku to try and drag the last little bit out of him.
Taker is now at that stage, obviously he's not in as a bad a shape as Andre was but it's clear he's finished and has no place still wrestling in 2019.
I hope to God this isn't the start of a build to Roman vs Undertaker again.

If they must use him.
Just have him do things like the Cena match.
Spooky entrance chokeslam tombstone.
He doesn't really need to do more.

Also why do they insist on putting Taker against the worst opponents for him.
Goldberg, Shane, Roman... none of these guys are capable of working around Taker's limitations.

I don’t even think Corbin’s right for him. I think Corbin’s way better than people give him credit for but his pace is way too quick to carry someone as essentially broken down as Undertaker. Rusev’s been the only person outside of Michaels (who basically performed a miracle) to get a passable match from the guy.

The fans still pop for him. As much as we might not like him competing at this stage of his career, the fans reactions always justify him coming back unforunately.

I actually would typically agree with a statement like this, as I am very much a believer in being over and getting a crowd reaction is all that matters. However, in this particular case, it is uncomfortable watching him. I honestly feel like I am watching one of those "Faces of Death" videos and he is about to keel over any minute. That is not my idea of entertainment.

That is not my idea of entertainment. What comes to mind for me is how crowds chanted “PLEASE RETIRE” at Big Show a few years back, someone who had WAY more left in the tank than Undertaker does, enough to get into career-best shape and have that great series of matches with Strowman. Yet you can’t imagine anyone would ever chant that at Undertaker, even as his abilities whittle away to nothing.

Honestly, what was the last *good* Taker match? His match with Bray at 31?

I think a big part of that was the fact that Big Show was full time and part of horrible booking with the authority whereas as undertaker was a rare treat.

Rusev’s been the only person outside of Michaels (who basically performed a miracle) to get a passable match from the guy. Already said this before, but Rusev gave Undertaker probably the last decent match of his career, had good matches with Nakamura when everybody was saying Nak was washed up, and his Extreme Rules match with AJ was one of the, like, three good AJ PPV matches since Survivor Series 2017. The guy's great.

It's Taker's fault. He should know that he's done, but keeps coming back.
