Original subtitles

- When people see Triple H versus Undertaker,

they have expectations.

I want them going like, "Holy crap."

And if you try me, I'll make you famous.

No matter how big somebody was,

there was always that next level.

That next level was The Undertaker.

- Triple H and The Undertaker,

their rivalry spanned over a decade.

- He and I have an opportunity to do something here special.

- A brawl with criminal intentions.

- We were killing each other.

You-you got to gear yourself up for that [bleep].

- They're like the last two toughest guys in the prison yard

from a bygone generation.

- You have only one thing left,

and it's the streak,

and when it dies, you die.

- The streak will still be alive,

and so will I.

- I am coming to end your career.

- I don't know how much more personal it can get.

- When two legends collide,

their rivalry stays pinned in our minds forever.

This is where we break down the legendary stories

behind the greatest rivalries of all time.

I'm Gabriel Iglesias,

and this is

WWE Rivals.

- Undertaker,

at WrestleMania,

You will rest in peace.

- Triple H versus The Undertaker.

Wow.

That's-that's the best way to start it.

Wow.

- Those guys were they were the backbone of our company

for decades.

- Yeah, and the fact they've had multiple Manias together

is a testament to that.

- You want this?

You want WrestleMania?

- These matches, they build in intensity and blood and guts.

That's as good as it gets.

- You go to war, but you respect the fact that this person gave

you everything that they had,

you know, because that's what you crave.

like, if you want to be the best, you want to be on top.

You want to go up against the best.

[The Undertaker's music]

- There's nothing that I've been any more passionate

about in my life

than being a professional wrestler.

- The agility and athleticism of The Undertaker.

- Taker was the measuring stick to me.

There was a different aura about him.

Just steady, always there, always a professional,

always above and beyond.

- You will rest in peace.

- Million people could have been given that Undertaker character,

and probably the majority of them would have failed.

You needed Mark Calaway to make The Undertaker great.

- I draw strength from the spirit of the dead.

- You know how you earn your respect for a Taker.

Like going out there and doing business with him

and holding your own.

- He was hard to get to know.

He was standoffish to most people

and intimidating to talk to.

So that that Undertaker persona lived with him everywhere.

So, you know, if you saw him in the airport,

you knew it was The Undertaker.

No matter who was with him,

he looked like he was the king court.

- It was like a pack of wolves, right?

He was the alpha.

- But you had to earn his trust

and you had to earn his friendship.

I'd say hello to him and stuff.

I don't think from his point of view,

maybe that there was a trust there

because I became friends with Shawn, and,

you know, that comes with a lot of baggage.

- You're a friend of mine,

you don't have a chance in this business.

[laughing]

- Everybody liked Hunter.

Everybody hated me.

Mark and I, we didn't know each other very well,

but we just figured what we knew we didn't like.

- It was just his demeanor

all around as a human being back then.

I had no use for him whatsoever.

- Whoa, whoa.

- Initially, this young guy coming in

and buddying up with Shawn, it's like,

"Oh, man, it's a red flag to me."

- Shawn the giant.

[laughing]

- Shawn-dray

- But he worked his tail off.

That's what I always notice about people.

Their desire to get better.

- Down across the knee.

- I just remember there was a moment we were all out,

and I remember seeing him at the bar that night.

Every now and then I'd catch his eye and I would just see him

just like burning a hole in me.

He, like, gives me the nod, like, "Come down here."

He's got two shots of Jack Daniels.

We both do the shot.

Puts his hand on my back and he goes,

"You're okay with me, man.

You're okay."

I was like, "All right [bleep] yeah.

All right."

He was a guy I gave a [bleep]

if he respected me or not because

he had my respect at that highest of levels.

- Welcome to Amtrak's night train to hell.

[laughing]

- One of their first encounters was on an episode of an old show

called Shotgun Saturday Night.

- The Undertaker against Hunter Hearst Helmsley.

- So Shotgun Saturday Night, we shot throughout New York City.

You got- you got two guys in a wrestling match

in the middle of Penn Station.

The match gets out of control.

We're fighting through the crowd.

- And The Undertaker hot on his heels and,

and no, no, no, no, no,

Oh, no.

Help.

Up on the-

Help.

He's gonna, he's gonna.

- Wait a minute.

- Oh no.

- We had done this tombstone on the escalator.

- If I'm not mistaken,

I want to say that was his idea.

- When we came back from it, he was like,

"Dude, that was awesome."

You got to gear yourself up for that [bleep].

- Triple H, he's always been a student of the game,

and when his time came, he was ready

and he dominated.

- This is about me.

It's about me reaching my goals.

You guys talk about being students of the game.

I am The [bleep] Game JR.

[Triple H's music]

- It was a game changing moment for my character.

Now all of a sudden this guy will go through anything

if it means being the top guy.

- Straight through the-

- No no.

- Good God.

- He's got that fighting spirit in him.

Well, The Undertaker was the same.

- Oh my God.

It's The Undertaker.

- What?

- As great a character as The Undertaker persona is,

our business was changing.

Everybody was just cutting loose.

What ended up happening is

I turned into the American Badass.

If you got a beef with me,

I ain't a hard guy to find.

I stand six foot ten.

I weigh 330 pounds,

and I'm usually kicking the hell out of somebody.

What else am I about?

Of course, motorcycles

and being an ass kicker and all that.

It just kind of fell together.

- A day or two off Mark until you get back?

- We were rolling into WrestleMania,

and Vince comes to me.

He's like, "You should have something and it should be big.

I just don't have anything for you at WrestleMania."

I was [bleep] devastated.

So a little while later, Taker comes out of Vince's office.

I can see the look on his face.

He's pissed and I'm like, "What's going on?"

And he's like, "I just [bleep] talk to the old man."

He's like, "[bleep] nothing at WrestleMania."

- And this is crazy to me.

Like, it's The Undertaker and Triple H,

and neither of us have opponents.

- And we both like, "Oh [bleep]."

And like, [bleep] went right back in his office, like,

you know what I mean?

Like, [bleep] yeah, right?

Physically and mentally,

I am superior

to anyone else that dares to step in this ring.

[The Undertaker's music]

- Wait a minute.

What's this?

The Undertaker?

- When you walk through here,

through these ropes,

bad things happen in my yard.

- Going into WrestleMania 17,

your shiny object was Rock and Stone Cold.

And sometimes you can overlook

this diamond over here,

and this ruby over here.

And that's what happened with Undertaker and Triple H

at WrestleMania 17.

- And if you try me, I'll make you famous.

- The Undertaker is here.

Wait a minute.

It's Triple H.

Triple H ambushing the Undertaker.

- No, they're going too far.

Triple H is going too far now.

Had to make it interesting quick,

and we did.

- Oh my God.

- End up getting hit with the sledgehammer.

- Oh, sledgehammer to the head of The Undertaker.

- And, brother, I bled,

like a stuck pig.

- It was main event color for sure.

- Oh, my God, look at the Undertaker's eyes.

Can you imagine what The Undertaker

is going to want to do to The Game?

There's going to be some serious hell to pay.

- We welcome you to WrestleMania 17.

- It's WrestleMania X-7 2001.

What an incredible night.

- We were on this amazing ride,

this Attitude ERA where anything goes.

- Man, we're in the Astrodome.

I mean, this was awesome.

You know, we hadn't done stadium shows in quite a while,

and all of a sudden now

we're selling out this massive building.

- The roof may come off momentarily

because the Undertaker and Triple H ready to get it on.

- I felt like he and I had an

opportunity to do something here special.

And both of us, I think, had a little bit of an attitude of

like, "[bleep], you have nothing for me, okay."

You know?

- Houston's own Undertaker,

arriving here at a high rate of speed.

- 17, was in Houston, my hometown.

My dream is to ride my own motorcycle into the Astrodome.

I think we both were like,

"uh, whoever follows us is going to have a really hard time."

- The Game has beat the best in the business,

but he has never defeated The Undertaker.

- You have two juggernauts, clearly.

- They were hitting each other

like hitting each other really hard.

It was crazy.

- One of the cool things about working with Paul,

we were always on the same page,

making the whole thing epic

and the whole fight through the- through the crowd,

and up on the rigging.

- I learned that with him all the time, you know, like,

if you're hittin' Taker with a chair shot,

hit Taker with a chair shot.

If you don't cream him with it,

he's going to be mad.

That's the sort of how I looked at it in my career as well.

Hit me safe.

Hit me really hard.

I'd rather do that than have it look bad.

- Oh, my.

- Triple H about to hit the Undertaker between the eyes

with a steel chair and got caught.

Oh my God, look out.

Triple H just

went out of sight.

- With bumps like that, it's pretty hard for me,

like, "Hey, what do you think about this?

I'm going to Chokeslam you off this ring."

- Wait a minute.

The Undertaker, oh, just drove his elbow

right into the heart of The Game.

[yelling]

- I remember picking him up for the Last Ride,

and he whacks me with the dang thing.

He ended up dinging me with the handle of the-

of the sledgehammer and busted me open again.

- What does it take?

What does it take to stop the Undertaker?

- And now The Game,

like a shark tasting blood.

- Triple H has him.

Oh, no.

- Oh the Last Ride,

The Undertaker came out with a Last Ride.

- To me, it was like the start of a friendship.

I could begin to see Mark, not Taker.

When Steph and I got together,

and we're starting to have a relationship.

The guy that I talked to about it was Taker.

- You know, I was kind of like, "Hey, you love her?"

He goes, "Yeah, yeah, I love her."

You know, I said,

"You got my blessing, brother."

- Anyway, yeah.

Good luck.

It's all downhill from here all right?

[laughing]

- Over the years that grew and, you know, he was in our wedding

at a certain point in time, the one guy that could relate to

everything that you had been through was Taker.

- I personally didn't

even realize there was a streak

until my 10th WrestleMania.

I'm standing on the apron

and I kind of do the thing with my fingers.

You know, where I count them out and you know it was 10-0.

- That streak is a huge part of The Undertaker's legacy.

- 11-0 at WrestleMania.

- 12-0

- 13-0

- Undertaker is 14-0.

- Taking on Taker at WrestleMania,

trying to end the streak,

it was almost unthinkable that anybody could do it.

But yet challenger after challenger after challenger

after challenger would come in and try to beat the streak.

If you could take that streak down,

that's the biggest thing you could accomplish

in the business.

- You have never beaten me,

and you never will.

- You know, look, there's a period of time when

Taker probably wanted to kill Shawn in real life.

Right?

And then- then over time,

they become very close friends.

And there's a massive respect level there on from both.

- Tombstone.

- Tombstone.

Piledriver.

- 17-0.

- Those two matches at WrestleMania 25 and 26 were

completely off the chart and

storytelling at its finest.

- If I beat you,

your career is over.

- Shawn Michaels is going out.

He's going out a s defiant as ever.

The Undertaker is 18-0.

- Shawn Michaels career is over.

[clapping]

- It fell into place, so I take his career.

Everyone at this point knows the relationship, obviously,

Shawn and Triple H.

- You feel the story.

- Going back to Shawn's legacy at WrestleMania.

They literally call him Mr. WrestleMania.

If Mr. WrestleMania couldn't even beat-

- Yeah.

- -Taker at WrestleMania,

they set an impossible stage to follow.

[The Undertake's music]

- Sometimes less is more.

That situation was a prime example.

[Triple H's music]

- I know that we went and pitched it to Vince

where we were just like, "What if we don't say anything?"

- "You're not going to say a word?"

I said, "We're not going to need to."

Just the whole time we were in the ring, I just had goosebumps.

[bleep] like, "Holy [bleep], this is [bleep] so badass."

- I knew exactly what was about to happen.

Well, The Game confronts the Dead Man

just six days before their epic encounter at WrestleMania.

- What in the world makes you think

that you can do what I couldn't?

- The Undertaker's streak is just continuing to grow and grow

and grow, and it's like, "Who's going to be able to even,

you know, touch that?

- Right.

- I think Triple H liked the challenge, though.

- I remember leading up to the match, Triple H talking about

how he's going to have to step into a dark place.

- Dead Man at WrestleMania,

you have only one thing left, and it's the streak.

And when it dies,

you die.

- His body was just trash at this point.

We knew that both hips needed to be replaced.

We knew that his right knee

definitely needed to be replaced,

most likely his left.

You know, he's had shoulder surgery.

He's busted his orbital socket twice,

where he still sees double to this day.

- At that point in my career,

uh, for me to have a WrestleMania match,

I'm probably three, maybe four injections

directly into my hip socket, uh, just to kinda nullify the pain

enough so that I could actually move.

Uh, every step that I took, it felt like somebody had taken

like a blowtorch and just put it on my joint.

- He saw the way his body was

reacting in a way that it hadn't before.

That he was sort of breaking down.

And his reaction was,

"I'm going to just keep going at 100 miles an hour.

See if I can go any faster."

- As we get older, our bodies are ravaged from injuries,

but still, there's an expectation.

When people pay money,

they want to see a bigger than life human being,

and they want to see a guy

that can kick somebody's ass.

- This is WrestleMania.

This is the showcase of the Immortals.

The electricity is in the air.

It's all around us.

Can you feel it?

[fireworks]

- When we got to 27,

I remember having a conversation with Taker where he was telling

me about the anxiety that he felt and how bad it was.

And I remember that being mind blowing to me.

Like, "This is The [bleep] Undertaker."

It was hard for me to contemplate

that he had those doubts that I did.

- It's hard to simulate those- those kind of moments

where you have, you know,

crowds in excess of 70,000 people there.

And when it's go time, it's like no other time I've ever been in.

- We are seeing two blocks of granite on which the foundation

of WWE has been built.

- Ring the bell.

- Match is underway.

No Holds Barred match must be won in the ring,

but anything goes.

- I was there when they went to the ring, and I dashed up to my,

uh, to my little skybox.

And watched it from up there, and, uh,

I remember it being physical.

- Oh my God.

Power of The Undertaker.

- Oh, gosh.

- Again, high impact.

- If you go into a match not wanting to beat the hell out of

the guy you're working with, it's a problem.

And both of those guys, uh, Triple H and The Undertaker.

I think if you ask those guys that question, they would say,

"Yeah, I'm going to go out and beat the hell out of that guy."

And that's the true wrestler mentality.

- I was doing good all the way up until the time

I did the big dive over the top,

and then it was like I didn't get a shot or anything.

It was just like all that medication just left my body.

You could actually feel it at that intensity

with all that adrenaline going on.

I mean, I knew that the hip was on its last days there.

- Uh oh.

But I wouldn't want to be Triple H right now.

Oh.

- The resounding splat of steel on the human anatomy.

- I don't remember hitting anybody any harder

than I'd hit him,

knowing in the back of my mind that

neither one of us would have accepted anything less.

- I think those two guys also knew the importance

of this match, you know,

and they knew that what you do at WrestleMania lives forever.

- And The Game again trying to hit that Pedigree.

- Got him.

- The Game's got the cover.

He's hooked the near leg.

History is going to be heading-

Oh, my.

The Undertaker.

I cannot believe what I have seen.

Now the steel chair.

Oh.

This chair.

It is warped and bent.

with the shapes of two men.

- Stay down

- Look-

barbaric, caveman mentality, whatever you want to call it.

It was what was needed to tell the story,

the way the story needed to be told.

[yelling]

- I wore that mother [bleep] out with a chair.

I would expect nothing less

than those chair shots being that hard.

- The Undertaker trying to pull himself-

everything he's got.

Everything The Undertaker has left.

- Stay down.

- This is one of the most brutal matches

I've ever seen between the two.

- It's just iconic.

It's iconic because you know what it's going to take

to beat Undertaker.

- We know when we get into this business

the toll it's going to take on you.

But it's still worth it

to be able to go out there and create moments like that.

- Will The Game be the one or will The Undertaker be 19-0?

No, no, come on.

This is too much.

Oh, the tombstone of the Undertaker.

- Streak had become such a big thing,

and I think as a fan, subconsciously, you know, like,

"Man, this guy's had a long career," and wondering, like,

"When is he going to retire?

How is he going to hang this up?"

- Wait, Undertaker with a Hell's Gate submission.

Triple H trying to find the hammer.

Tryin' to find an escape.

The Game taps.

The Game had to tap out.

The Undertaker is 19-0.

- We don't talk about it very often,

but after 27, they carted me off,

and that was pretty much legit.

I was in rough shape.

- That's a weird thing about our business.

It's my friend,

and I just [bleep] halfway killed him with a chair.

That's the way we did it.

- You go harder with the ones you love.

You can beat the living tar out of one another,

hug it out backstage and know that they really do love you.

- My hip is trash,

so I called Doctor Bird.

And, I was just like,

"Yeah, doc, I-I think it's time."

And he goes, "Mark, it was time 12 years ago.

Your hip is one of the worst hips that I've ever seen."

And now this is at the later part of my career.

The years have taken its toll.

The old school mentality.

You just suck it up and you go out and you work.

Once I was cleared,

went right into training for Mania again.

I had my left hip replaced.

So not only do I have the pressure

of getting back from that,

but we also have the pressure of outdoing

what we did in Atlanta.

Every passing moment of every passing day,

I have lived the memory of the beating that I took

at the hands of Triple H last year at WrestleMania.

So The Undertaker, this character who has been in such

mental control, is now in this situation where he's beside

himself because this guy left him vulnerable.

- I understand how bad you want this.

I know what I have to do to beat you.

I have to finish you.

I'm not going to do it.

- That's hard to get to WrestleMania.

It's hard to be on WrestleMania,

and to be able to do this,

and create a storyline that is this hot is quite incredible

that they were able to do that.

- You know, Hunter.

I think I just figured it out.

You know that you can't do

what your buddy Shawn Michaels couldn't do.

Because, you know, Shawn was always better than you.

- I will face you at WrestleMania.

Under one condition.

Hell in a Cell.

Taker had more Hell in a Cell matches than anybody.

And we had kind of both become synonymous with that match.

Hell of a Cell for me was the ultimate blow off match.

I was there for the first one with Taker and Shawn.

I'd never seen anything like it.

And it blew my mind.

- The steel girders are bending, they're about to break.

- And then you go to the Mick and Taker one.

There was nothing ever like it.

- Look out.

- Oh no.

- Good God Almighty.

Good God Almighty.

It killed him.

- If you've ever been inside of one of those structures,

there's no way to fake how that feels up against your skin.

You know that it's going to be intense.

You know that it's going to be violent.

- I watched you go out there

and beat him with nearly an inch of his life.

And then you lost.

This year at WrestleMania Hell in a Cell,

I know who's going to win, and I'll be right again.

- I think Shawn respects Taker, but there's also a part of him

that doesn't want Triple H, even though he's his friend

and he loves him, he doesn't want Triple H to be the guy

that beats The Undertaker at WrestleMania

because he couldn't do it.

- I'm sorry.

And the reason I know that

is because I've been made the special referee.

"We were thinking about, you know,

adding you as special referee.

What do you say?"

It's like, "Oh.

Are you kiddin'?

Yes."

Those are my friends.

I spent as much time with Hunter and Mark than I-

as I have with my children.

Probably more.

- I love you.

- All right, let's do it.

[bell rings]

- Ladies and gentlemen, this match is the end of an era.

- When we said end of an era,

it-it not only was meaningful, storyline wise,

and to have that come full circle for you,

but I think it sort of told a story of-of a generation

of the guys in that era.

None of us would step foot in in that ring together

at that level.

It was sort of the end.

- We knew it was going to be brutal.

It was going to be physical,

and we knew it had to be.

And once again, it was Triple H wanting to be the best.

The Undertaker wanting to be the best,

and wanting to be the best on that card that night.

- And here we go.

End of an era.

Triple H and The Undertaker.

- How do you take it to the next level?

Well, Hell in a Cell.

It's a recipe for disaster.

- I mean, you actually believe

that Triple H had a legitimate chance

of beating The Undertaker, which was incredibly hard to do

because you had that streak behind it.

- They're like the last two toughest guys in the prison yard

from a bygone generation.

When these two hooked up, like,

everybody in the yard was watching it.

And you know, they're-they're legends for a reason.

- It's like they were almost having that match

not just for themselves, but everyone from their era.

They just really left it all out there.

- And now you've got not only come back from a hip,

but you've gotta top what you did the year before.

- I remember Paul, we were going back and forth and we felt like

we might need a little extra sumpin' sumpin'

and he just told me he goes, "Hard way me."

And I'm like, "What?"

He goes, "Hard way."

So he took three pretty good right hands to bubble up his eye

and bust him open a little bit,

as they say, "The hard way."

- I certainly would be the last man to count out Triple H.

- Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Oh, my God.

- Flat on the spine of The Undertaker on the steps.

- Oh, look at- look at this.

Look at this, look at this.

Hell's Gate.

Hell's Gate.

Hell's Gate.

- When you're retired and you're in there,

it's again having an appreciation for what it is

we do to ourselves and what we put

ourselves through for so long.

- And look-

Oh my God.

Oh, the strength.

The strength.

- And now, when I had stopped doing it,

I'm watching these two do it to each other.

And I'm like, "Damn."

- Watch out.

Head first.

- You two are murdering each other.

I mean, absolutely blistering one another.

- I remember hitting him with a chair

and Shawn coming by me at one point.

He was like, "[bleep],

with the chair shot, you're gonna [bleep] kill each other."

- How can it be too much when there are no rules.

- You know, Shawn just was emotional about it,

trying to get us to calm the [bleep] down.

- And the Dead Man goes down again.

Finally the cover.

Finally the cover.

Will it be the streak will end?

No, it will not end.

- You want it done?

Then you end it.

- Just cover him.

- Once you add Shawn to the mix.

It could be very easy two on one.

He always brings that specific degree of drama.

- Do it.

- It looked like Michaels was thinking about

stuffing the match.

- Can he achieve what I couldn't?

I'm this close to taking a shortcut.

If I can feel like I have avenged what happened to me.

- Don't stop it Shawn.

- End it, Shawn, or I will.

End it or I will.

- Oh, for the love of God, not the sledgehammer.

- It's conflict.

- What is this?

- Taker's got the Hell's Gate on Shawn Michaels.

- Oh, look it, look it, look it.

from, oh, the sledgehammer.

- And now our only official has been obviously incapacitated.

- When people see Triple H versus Undertaker,

they have expectations.

I want them going like,

"Holy crap."

- Thunderous Chokeslam.

The count of three.

Oh.

The Game kicked out.

- Did he get him, what?

- Oh no.

No, no.

Oh my God.

The Dead Man riseth.

- Oh, no.

What?

Oh.

- Sweet chin music.

Sweet chin music.

- Look at this.

- That moment of the superkick into the Pedigree.

- A Pedigree.

Pedigree.

- If there's not a hook, line and sinker moment where people

knew that streak was ending and the holy [bleep] factor of that,

I don't know what that bigger moment is.

- Streak's over.

Streak's over.

- My God the count.

It's not over.

It's not over.

The streak lives.

- You have Triple H and Undertaker.

Everyone knew that it was coming to an end.

And to have Shawn Michaels be the special guest referee.

And then, like, the-

I'm getting goosebumps

even, like, thinking about this man.

- And stuffs out the-

oh, Sweet Chin Music.

- I'm really not one to put my own stuff over.

- Sweet Chin Music and a Pedigree.

- But I believe that that may be the best false finish

that I've ever seen.

More so than at any other point in any other WrestleMania match.

They thought the streak was going to get broke.

- Michaels was put into a very tough position.

The emotion overcoming The Game with his obsession.

- Oh, oh my God.

- Those guys are masters of their craft.

And I think that match,

that rivalry is years of experience on the job

doing what they do best.

- He is truly superhuman.

How's he doing this?

This is it.

- God, I can't believe what I'm seeing.

- Neither can The Undertaker.

- The Game-

Lunging.

There's not enough gas left in the tank.

Undertaker shaking his head.

- I think that match,

yeah, man.

I mean, it speaks for itself, right?

And it really it did.

It did a great job of putting a button on it.

Right?

This is done.

- Oh, one last act of defiance.

Oh my God.

My God, we know what that means.

Oh, the tombstone.

The count,

and the three.

- The Undertaker is 20-0.

My God, what a war.

- That shot with Triple H and Shawn Michaels and

The Undertaker after their match.

It was one of the most profound moments of wrestling history.

- That moment on the stage, which was not talked about ahead

of time, was not scripted, was not discussed.

It was a moment and we all just kind of did it.

- It's as if these three men know that they will never be at

the same place at the same time, in this exact environment.

- I don't know that there's two other guys that I'd rather be

in ring with, and we're all sharing that moment together.

- It'll never be like this again.

Three cowboys of that generation riding off into the sunset.

[clapping]

- We all took that journey together

almost from start to finish.

Ending it together in the biggest way possible

on the biggest stage possible.

Having just closed out this story with these epic matches

and doing everything we had done.

- We brought the best out of each other.

Two guys that took their craft very seriously.

There were things that we ask of each other

that maybe we don't ask another talent.

- What is the lasting legacy?

- These guys who weren't just two of the greatest of all time,

these were two of the greatest workhorses of all time.

- To do that as often as they did on the biggest stage

that there is

over and over again, it's in their DNA.

- You appreciate that because there's not many people on the

planet that can actually give that to you.

- It's an energy matching energy.

It's something that's going to live on forever.

- Triple H and I beat the living crap out of each other.

Um, a spattering of applause for that.

Um, no.

He-he did.

He legitimately beat me like I owed him money.

And when you get that kind of chemistry, it just makes magic.

Hey, hey, hey, hey,

hey, wait.

Y'all want to meet him?

[crowd cheers]

- There's a very short list of people that I feel like

I could call if I needed something,

and he's on that list.

I've always just thought the world of him as a human being.

[crowd chants "This is awesome"]

- Oh, Paul and Mark are closer than they've ever been.

A lot of that was initially built on respect and passion for

the business that drove them together.

And now they're like brothers.

They're super close.

- This is the boss in my generation.

This is, was, and always will be

the measuring stick of our business.

This man right here.

So enjoy your night with him.

They are main event players, big names,

big stars, all those things.

There's never going to be another Undertaker.

He was the heartbeat.

There will never be another person like that.

That's the legacy.
