On Friday night, longtime WrestleMania superstar The Undertaker claimed his spot in sports entertainment history as the headline inductee of the 2022 WWE Hall of Fame.
The 6-foot-10, 300 lbs mammoth of a man was well-known for his stone-cold demeanor throughout his nearly 30-year wrestling career. But as he accepted his spot in the Hall of Fame last night, his emotions truly shined through.
Tears filled The Undertaker’s eyes as chants of “You deserve it” rained down from the crowd.
WWE HALL OF FAMER.
FINALLY.
