A WWE legend has now confirmed that he has retired and that he will never wrestle again, no matter how much money he is offered. He said that he does not have enough left in the tank anymore, either, and there is nothing anyone can do to get him back in the ring. The four-time WWE Champion said that he is done with it.
The Undertaker was speaking to Bubba Ray Dudley on the Six Feet Under podcast, where he said that when he retired, he retired that side of his character that wore the hat and the coat and wrestled. He said that he still had a part of his character that connected with the fans, and that was what he was using in his role as a mentor and a coach alongside his podcast. He admitted that his not using that other side of his character frustrated a lot of people who wanted to work with him.
"The one thing that's helped me is, when I retired, I retired half of my character. The hat, the coat, that whole side of the Undertaker, I retired. I kind of retained the American Bada** side of it, the kind that can actually relate to people. And so, that helps me, because I will not jeopardize that part of my legacy. And it frustrates a lot of people who want to do business with me, because they want that." (9:43 - 10:30)
The Undertaker said that he could only put the hat and the coat back on if he was wrestling in the WWE ring, and that it was impossible. He can't do that, because then his legacy would be in danger. He said he knew that as much as he had left in his head and his heart, his body did not have enough left in the gas tank to do it.

"Look, the only way I could put the hat and the coat back on is I would have to be back in the ring, and I could not do that. I can't do that, either, because that also jeopardizes the legacy. As much as I have here and as much as I have here, I know there's not enough left in the tank to do that." (11:46 - 12:16)
