The inevitable question has been on fans’ minds for at least five years is definitely on the rise again; Is this the last year for The Undertaker before he retires?
While over those years Undertaker has taken on a less active role in the company, fans wonder when will he decide to call it a career? Taker has had his fair share of matches in his twenty-six plus year career, and deserves the role that he has now. He has been loyal to the company through its ups and downs. It’s only right that when and if he does decide to retire the company will give him the proper sendoff that is fitting for a legend such as him.
Since his appearance on the 900th episode of Smackdown, his words to the Survivor Series team left little to the imagination. Fans and analysts alike have been speculating and wondering just what exactly does the Dead Man mean when he said ‘WrestleMania would no longer define him’? One would guess that he may be taking on a more active role on Smackdown come the first of this year perhaps. However, just as he appeared, Taker has disappeared for the time being.
The bigger question here is that does Taker have enough in him to give it a go one more time? While he is the only one to know for sure, perhaps if this is his final year he may give it all he’s got. There are bigger possibilities when it comes to The Undertaker despite the fact that he’s done all he could during his career in WWE. The good news is that it isn’t many which fits his situation just fine. Overall the decision is entirely up to him, and all fans would have to respect that at the end of the day.

With some possibilities for the Dead Man, it can’t hurt to explore those options regardless of their tangibility. We all hold on to some hope that there is one more match left in a wrestler, or that by sheer luck something happens to where a match between two wrestlers will happen after much doubt. Taker is no exception to this.
Whether or not those possibilities or rumors come to fruition remains to be seen, however, if Taker is able, then maybe 2017 isn’t his final year with the company after all. Let’s all hope so, right?
