With no fans to bid him farewell and a microphone in hand, Undertaker declares "my time has come to let the Undertaker Rest in peace".
It's the moment many wrestling fans knew - and dreaded - was coming. At the annual WWE Survivor Series pay-per-view on Sunday, 30 years after making his debut at the same event, The Undertaker made his final farewell address. Legends such as Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels and The Big Show were all there to say goodbye. Radio 1 Newsbeat has been speaking to the Deadman's fans about why he's meant so much through the years.
Respect for his own charaFor Andrew Curnow, "there's been nobody like him" when it comes to affecting the audience. The Undertaker was already established as a legend when Andrew, now 21, started watching WWE in 2006. The mind games and not knowing what's going to happen when he comes out still had such a big impact," he says. And it's not just about the way he was in the ring. The way he's treated his own character has been a big part of why 29-year-old Joni Roome has been such a fan.
