    That botched move by Goldberg was tough to watch.

    Yeah taker was blessed that wasn't worse. Michelle McCool comes across very well in this documentary.

    Anyone else getting the feeling that this was commissioned with the idea that AJ vs Undertaker would be his last match but because it became a cinematic match it's not going to be his final match anymore?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,132 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Was it episode 2 where they showed him complimenting AJ and saying he would want a match with him? And now this episode, they seem to be on good terms with one another.
    Wonder how he gets on with Daniel Bryan.
    One thing that does make me smile is seeing Miz always seeming to get on with him after the stories before of how the likes of JBL used to treat him


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,221 ✭✭✭The Ayatolla


    Yeah he mentions AJ reminded him of Shawn Michaels.

    The Miz always had the last laugh over JBL.

    I get that impression too, I definitely don't think he'll leave it at the cinematic match anyway.

    That's sort of my problem with the doc. It's well made and a fascinating insight and all but it feels like it lacks a purpose. Seems like it was filmed with the idea of it capturing the end of Undertaker's career. Yet the cycle seems to be that he has a good match and thinks he's still got it or has a bad match and has to redeem himself, starting the whole process again. It's really more about a man who can't stop and has likely missed out on perfect opportunities to do so. I don't see how the last episode can play out with any sense of closure, interested to see it though.

    Maybe he will announce his retirement in the last episode


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,435 ✭✭✭ThePott


    Survivor Series would be a decent end point?
    Although I do wonder if after the Boneyard Match he feels like that is a way he can continue the character and not retire.

    This years Survivor Series would be 30 years since his debut

    But it has to Wrestlemania he finishes at after a Hall of Fame induction the night before ala Ric Flair

    I'd like to see him in a proper match against AJ Styles at Summerslam, before a match at Survivor Series, the Rumble and finally Mania sees him bow out for good. Having several matches will keep him fresh you'd hope

    I hated how beat up he was pre the Reigns match and then we see him get battered with a chair, there's no good reason for him to be taking chair shots like that or being put through a table like he was another time I can't remember


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,435 ✭✭✭ThePott


    I reckon he was going to retire at the Mania just gone but the pandemic threw a spanner in the works.

    Don't think I'm emotionally ready for the last episode of the taker documentary

    Join the club I'm actually afraid to watch it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,166 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    I watched it and good god I wished I hadn't. I won't spoil anything specific just to say it's very reflective at times and he talks about his parents and his siblings come up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,457 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Feck ya Facebook


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 435 ✭✭undertaker fan 88


    I just finished it. One of wwes best shows. Enjoy everyone


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,852 ✭✭✭SureYWouldntYa


    I'll tag the below but it isn't really a spoiler, more general discussion
    Among the fact this is how many times he's said it's the last one, I can see an old school guy like Taker wanting to go out on his back. Among the reasons I'm surprised Styles didn't beat him at Mania

    Theres no reason for him to go again tho. He wanted go out in a match he was proud of and he seemed it with that one. It feels so right it was amazing

    Same could be said about a half dozen matches and was said over the course of the documentary. The brother dying might actually give him a different perspective now, but he'll give it one more go I think

    I thought the stop start nature of the cinematic match would help him physically, but as he said it actually makes things worse. My prediction now is one final in ring match in front of a crowd, probably Styles

    Powerful and emotional thank you taker for the memories

    Lucky enough to see him in person at a house show in Dublin in 2009

    One of the all time greats and looking forward to seeing him go into the HOF

    Was lucky myself to be at mania 26 for his match v HBK and for the last few manias. Hes the G.O.A.T


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,132 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    I'll tag my comments as well
    If that's it, I don't see the documentary being the end in that sense. I'd say he'll make a last appearance in the ring to officially announce his retirement. Sadly no crowd and a lot of his peers won't be there for it

    Was there myself, and was very lucky to be at the following Smackdown, ringside, to see him up close - to feel the heat from his Pyro etc. He was in a dark match vs Punk, who was doing the SES at the time. Lots of goofing etc, very enjoyable. Taker, at the very top of his game, in awesome shape.

    Just to note last WWE dropped some 1989 episodes of Prime Time Wrestling! (Oct-Dec)

    Mark Henry's episode of the Broken Skull Sessions is up on the Network today. So far so good. Nice to hear from the man on his own after hearing some of his stories on Table For Three.

    The continuity was killing me when i watched it last night. Steve asks a question at the start, mark looks fine, then the camera pans back and he's dripping in sweat. And it continued that way, between sweaty and dry for the whole thing
