The Undertaker is one of the biggest stars of all time. The Last Ride documentary currently airing on WWE Network has given fans a new look behind the man. Renee Young asked the panelists if seeing it was surprising to anyone and Mark Henry simply answered: "yes I'm surprised." His surprise was because 'Taker is "one of the most private guys I've ever met. Seeing that is like the last line of defense of ushering in the new world of wrestling."

One part of the documentary that was addressed involved the Phenom's match with Roman Reigns. As 'Taker re-watched it during the documentary, he said that it looked like Reigns would want to redo the match. Young asked the panelists about a match from their history that they would like to do over. Booker said that "we all want to work at the highest level. When you work with Kurt Angle, you have to work up to his level because he isn't going to work down to you." The match between the two Hall of Famers was cut short due to referee error.

Mark Henry chose "the first time that Big Show and I had a match. I don't know what happened. We knew what was supposed to happen but it was horrible." Perhaps the most bittersweet answer came from Ember Moon as she is in the middle of nursing a serious injury. The Shenom claimed that "I may have a career-ending injury that I look back at and I may not get a chance to try and redeem myself." She added that she wants "the opportunity to not look back and look forward and be better than before" instead.
