NOTES AND THOUGHTS
The Undertaker will go down in history as having the greatest record at Wrestlemania of all time. After reviewing all of the matches it is shocking, even with the piss poor level of competition at certain points, that early on he didn't get goaded into a loss to progress a storyline.
The tombstone piledriver on the arena floor to Jake The Snake Roberts, while obviously in slow motion was nowhere near a hit, it still stands as one of my favorite childhood memories.
He gave Batista the best match of his career.
The battle with Ric Flair could easily have been a career highlight if he didn't meet up with HBK at WM 25. That match was outstanding. I never expected Flair to get as much offence as he did. Damn that Booger Red.
The Diesel match was not as good as I remember from being a kid. When I was young I thought that was the best match/feud around. Way too many rest holds, same goes for the Sid match but that one was barely watchable at parts.
FINAL THOUGHT
I personally hope that The Undertaker does not come back for another Wrestlemania. In fact, as much as I love him and cherish him this seems like the perfect time for him to remain gone for good. He is an enigma, not a superstar...I would rather remember him than pity him. A true legend, The Undertaker and his streak will stand the test of time.

Nicely done. The Jake Tombstone was damn good, for sure. I really enjoyed the "jumping" tombstone he gave to HBK to finally keep him down. The last set of matches with HBK/HHH have been untouchable. I am/always have been a huge Taker mark and think it is time to hang it up as well. He has nothing left to prove, has an eternal legacy in the industry and doesn't need some fancy sendoff, save a HoF induction.
