An era ended last night (April 2, 2017) in Orlando, as Undertaker left his gloves, coat, hat along with every thing he had in the ring after losing to Roman Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania 33.
We brought you some of the first reactions from the wrestling world in the immediate wake of the moment, but of course, those have continued to flood in in the hours since. Here’s a sampling of those, as WWE and pro wrestling wakes up to a different landscape than the one they’ve been used to for the last 30+ years... one without the Dead Man.
Humbling to think that I helped broadcast #TheUndertaker last match. I've never received a bigger honor. @WWE #thankyoutaker

Theres a reason why "the boys" call the Dead Man "Boss."
