The Undertaker Reveals He Needs Knee Surgery

The Undertaker has revealed he requires knee replacement surgery.

The WWE Icon has gone through a host of major surgeries throughout his career, having previously undergone partial hip replacement on both sides, and the Deadman says his next surgery is lined up to get a new knee for his right leg.

Speaking to The Norm and D Invasion on Sportsradio 96.7 The Ticket, as part of the WrestleMania 38 promotion media, 'Taker revealed: "Both my hips are partial hip replacements already. I need...I need a right knee, so I have surgeries lined up. I just, I gotta wait until hunting season is over."

Having not wrestled since WrestleMania 36 and confirming his retirement at Survivor Series last year, 'Taker was asked if he is still The Undertaker these days or if he feels more like Mark Calaway.

He responded: "You know what? I'm somewhere caught in the middle and then that would...that would be the American Badass I think. There was that run there in the early 2000s where I kind of moved away from the traditional Undertaker and I turned into the biker gimmick, which is just another extension of my real personality. I'm gonna call it there in the middle between all three of those really.

"You're not going to see, unless it's a very special kind of event...I'm going to kind of let that character rest and, and let the the legacy of it live in people's memories. Mark Calaway will always be the Undertaker. It's just, now that you're going to get a little bit more insight on the Undertaker from Mark Calaway, if that makes sense."
