Also where the heck was The Steiners Michigan State theme music.

Tip from a college sports fanatic - if you ever get the chance to meet Rick or Scott, maybe don't say they went to Michigan State...

Just caught the Kane part.

Apologies, Glenn ?

It's easy to poke fun at but I'm glad for the character of Undertaker that he got that sort of icing on the cake. Whatever about the guy playing him but it felt weird having such a massive figure bow out through this daft "Is he really gone?" series of mopey, overlong documentaries and mid-pandemic, empty arena sendoffs. 

Hopefully that's it from him and the WWE for awhile now. I know he'll never be gone gone, but they've really been living in the shadow of his legacy content to the point where it's been overbearing. The main page of the Network basically looks like Taker TV half the time. 

In wrestling terms, last night was a nice little exclamation mark for him.

There's loads on social media that reckon Taker will be Rollins mystery opponent at Mania.

Could you fucking imagine the uproar it would be amazing sign me up

As they didn’t get to do the big send off in front of an audience the first time, it’s in Texas with Vince picking the opponent- dare I say it’s not beyond the realms of possibility or even the worst idea. Taker smashes him in 3 minutes, gets one last match on the big stage in his home-state, rides off into the sunset afterwards.

It would get a better reaction than Cody coming back

hope it's true, bust out that big dive to the outside one more time big man, you can do it, we (I) believe in you

[Jazzy G]

Let him ride his bike to the ring, proper hybrid Taker like in the boneyard match. 

[Vamp]

To be honest I wouldn't mind Taker appearing every year, chokeslamming some no hoper and fucking off into a black hole. I always kinda figured that that's what would happen to him. What we've got (him expressing his actual personality) is much, much worse. 

[CTXRussomark]

Takers speech was excellent, even if it did feel a tad rehearsed at times.  The complete omission of Mick Foley really stood out though given how intrinsically linked they've been for years and the impact Foley had on Takers career.  That felt really odd.

[gmoney]

I hope he comes out in his pants and skinny leather waistcoat as "Mean" Mark Callous.

[Jacko]

Was so amazing being in the arena and seeing the reaction to taker I know he’s had his faults over the year but it was a fantastic speech live, the pop was incredible.

What the fuck was Dana Warrior thinking bounding down to the ring after that emotional video package for Shad, awful reading of the room. 

[DCW]

Was Foley not the one to benefit from the Taker HIAC stuff? Taker was already a made man many years before that stuff really. A quick mention would have sufficed like. He didn't mention Austin or Rock either, and they're not on the shitlist presumably. 

I'm sure Foley is tweeting all his favourite wank fodder divas to complain anyway.
