The Undertaker says his final farewell as he retires from WWE

Fans are paying tribute to The Undertaker as the wrestler says farewell to his 30-year career in the ring. His ring name is "The Undertaker," but his real name is Mark Calaway, and was born on March 24, 1965. He is a current resident in Houston, Texas, and started his career in the WWE in 1990. 

The Undertaker said his final goodbye during a Final Farewell celebration at Survivor Series on Sunday, telling fans: "My time has come to let The Undertaker rest in peace." He ended his 30-year career on June 21, 2020, on the Survivor Series PPV.

 

According to Wikipedia, In October 1990, Calaway signed with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). He made his debut as Kane the Undertaker at a taping of Superstars on November 19, 1990. Calaway made his official on-camera debut on November 22 at Survivor Series as a heel when he was the mystery partner of Ted DiBiase's Million Dollar Team. Approximately one minute into the match, The Undertaker eliminated Koko B. Ware with his finisher, the Tombstone Piledriver. He also eliminated Dusty Rhodes before being counted out; however, his team won the match with DiBiase being the sole survivor. During the match, Calaway was referred to as The Undertaker, omitting the name 'Kane', which was dropped shortly after the event (and seven years later was given to another wrestler who eventually became Undertaker's younger brother of the same name). At the same time, The Undertaker switched managers from Brother Love to Paul Bearer – a histrionic, ghostly character, almost always seen bearing an urn, which he used to revive The Undertaker's strength whenever Undertaker fell victim to his opponents. Undertaker placed his defeated opponents (almost always jobbers) in a body bag and carried them to the back. Throughout the end of 1990, The Undertaker mostly picked up squash victories against jobbers on Superstars of Wrestling and Wrestling Challenge tapings. He was a participant in the 1991 Royal Rumble match which was won by Hulk Hogan. He continued picking up victories in squash matches leading up to his first feud in the WWF with "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka.

Some fans are disgusted at how short the career-ending ceremonies were, but some fans were emotional to see his career come to an end. According to reports, as of 2020, the former WWE World Champion's net worth is estimated to be around $22 million. The Undertaker is regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time.

His long-term successful career and record cannot be duplicated. He is married to WWE Diva Michelle McCool, and have four children.

WWE had to face cutbacks for both the staff and superstars due to the COVID-19, which resulted in a short going-away ceremony for The Undertaker.   

Houston is the home of the champions.
