The Undertaker defeated Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania XXV and WrestleMania XXVI before also going on to defeat Triple H in back-to-back years at WrestleMania XXVII and WrestleMania XXVIII.

'Taker said he does not like to brag about his own work, but he thought the four-year run of 'Mania matches was great storytelling and he was “really proud” of his performances during that time.

#12 He thought he had retired in 2012 and 2017

When Steve Austin spoke about the famous picture of The Undertaker, Triple H and Shawn Michaels on the WrestleMania XXVIII stage after the Hell in a Cell “End of an Era” match, 'Taker said the iconic moment between the three legends was not planned, but he really did think at the time that his career might be over.

Five years later, following his loss against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 33, he felt that the image of his hat, coat and gloves in the middle of the ring would register more with the WWE audience than any retirement speech he could give. However, despite thinking once and for all that he had retired, he got talked into returning.
