J.R. posted another blog regarding the Undertaker's retirement rumors.
" There are NO plans for EITHER the Undertaker or Shawn Michaels to retire any time soon. Stop the pain and please stop the emails about this matter. When either man does decide to say adiós there will be a HUGE deal made of it. Both men will be back in action in 2009 and no I don't have the exact date and likely no one does as we speak."
This month on TV Classics on Demand, Undertaker goes one-on-one against the British Bulldog on an 09/25/1995 episode of Raw. After interference by Owen Hart and Yokozuna, it is announced that next week on Raw, it will be Undertaker, HBK, and Diesel against Owen Hart, British Bulldog, and Yokozuna. Next week on Raw on 10/02/1995, Undertaker cuts a promo alongside HBK and Diesel.
Sorry for the lack of updates within the last few days but since Undertaker is out of action I figured I could take time to move everything to wordpress. Expect that move within the next few days as well as major gallery and video updates.
Here's a quick interesting note somewhat regarding the Undertaker. During the Los Angeles Lakers NBA game last night in Houston they kept playing The Undertaker's theme song.

The Undertaker is expected to be back in action around mid-July. While that is not set in stone, WWE wants him to return over the summer with enough time to build to a big program for SummerSlam in August.

In an interesting trivia note, this week in 1999 WWF RAW held the most-watched wrestling match in history. On May 10, 1999, The Undertaker & HHH & Shane McMahon vs. Steve Austin & The Rock & Vince in a six-man tag, with Shawn Michaels as the referee, scored a 9.2 cable rating. The overall rating for the entire show was 8.1.

In J.R.'s latest blog, he made another comment on the 'Taker vs. HBK match at WrestleMania.
"I think the HBK vs. Undertaker Wrestlemania 25 match could be made into one helluva documentary styled DVD. I know some of the biggest stars in the biz who would love to talk about it including some of the HOF'ers who were present that day. This match will live forever in the annals of WWE and should be celebrated sooner than later even though both men are on hiatus for the time being."
WWE.com has the "WWE Magazine: Feature of the Week" which looks inside "WWE Magazine's Big Book of Wrestling" to find never-before-seen pay-per-view photos. Click here to head over to WWE.com to view the photos, there are quite a few of 'Taker.
I apologize for not updating the past few days but my computer needed to be fixed and I had no way of updating. Now that I got it back, lets move onto business. As many of you know the Undertaker will be needing minor surgery on his knee and hip which means he will be out of action for a few months. In a way I'm saddened as he will not be appearing on TV but I'm also glad that he's taking time off to heal nagging injuries.
In the past month I have been in working Wordpress to create a new layout which will make it easier for me to update as well as for visitors to view the website much better. Also expect majoy gallery updates within the next few days. Check back soon for those and other updates!
Dave Meltzer is reporting that The Undertaker missed last week’s Smackdown/Superstars tapings at Madison Square Garden because his knees are bothering him, as well as his hip. The word going around is that The Undertaker would be undergoing minor surgery on his knee, but there is a fear that when he undergoes the procedure, more damage could be found. This explains the push of John Morrison as a babyface, and might force WWE to turn up pressure on Jeff Hardy to re-sign. Shawn Michaels, Undertaker’s Wrestlemania opponent, was given time off to rest up.

The 2009 WWE Annual Shareholders Meeting was held yesterday on May 1st. During the meeting Vince McMahon anwsers many questions including one regarding Undertaker's WrestleMania winning streak.

The following is from WWE.com: On June 7, 2009, WWE will bring Extreme Rules to New Orleans, and you can be the first to get your tickets starting this Saturday at 10 a.m. ET, available from the New Orleans Arena box office, Ticketmaster outlets and Ticketmaster.com. With tickets starting at just $20, WWE is the best value in entertainment and the only place to see your favorite Superstars like John Cena, Batista and Undertaker competing in matches contested under the most brutal stipulations.
Now it is not certain if Undertaker will indeed be competing in this PPV or if WWE is just using his name to sell more tickets. After all, John Cena is also mentioned and it has been reported that he will be taking time off to film his new movie. Let's not forget that at this PPV last year, Undertaker lost his match to Edge and as a result had to leave WWE. Just thought I'd pass it on.
There are reports out of Chattanooga that local commercials are airing for a SmackDown! house show that will feature Edge (advertised as World champion - prior to Backlash) defending the title against The Undertaker in the main event. So according to those advertisements, that is the next house show feud for both Edge and Undertaker.

WWE.com has the Hell in a Cell match coming in at #1 in the "Most Extreme Matches" list.
Undertaker participated in the first three Hell in a Cell matches and has also competed in 9 out of 16 Hell in a Cell matches, more than any other superstar.
Last Week: 2
On SmackDown, The Deadman was pit against Big Show in one-on-one action. Even after he lost due to knockout following a vicious punch, Undertaker rose to his feet ready for more.
I was surfing YouTube last night and came across this video from 2004 of Undertaker and Paul Bearer rehearsing the scene when Undertaker would kill Paul.
Added three new wallpaper, check them out here.
The following are Smackdown spoilers for 04/24/09.
