So I was thinking about this earlier, when The Undertaker eventually gets inducted into the Hall of Fame (inducted by Kane or Vince) how would you rather see Undertaker handle the situation?
Come out in a suit and give a normal speech breaking his kayfabe character in the process.
Undertaker comes out in his full entrance attire, coat and hat and just tips his hat and returns to the back adding to his mystique
The Undertaker has always been a very private person, never really doing interviews, so if he did do a speech I'd love to hear it, just for the stories that guy could tell, but I also think if he just tips his hat that would be equally as accepted just because of who he is.

Hard to say. I wonder if he'd be ok giving a speech with the chance of letting his guard down and getting emotional. Who knows if he's an emotional person. Maybe once he's retired and done for good, he won't be so protective of his character. I personally would love to hear a speech. Taker is such an interesting guy. I'd love to hear him on a podcast and hear the stories he has.

Kane inducting him followed by Taker doing a speech would be sick.
You're right though, if all Taker did was the hat tip he would be the only guy who could do something like that and have it be accepted.

Back when he was doing the American Badass gimmick he did a lot of interviews and talk show appearances. He's also done interviews related to fundraisers he was involved in with his local church.
He needs to do a speech and have his moment. Maybe if they wait at least a year to induct him it would be better.

I hope that they'll hold off on inducting him long enough after his retirement that he feels comfortable just being himself and dropping the gimmick.

I'm a huge Undertaker fan, but I like the way he's totally kayfabe and the last wrestler to keep kayfabe alive, as much as I would love to hear a speech I think it'd be pretty awesome if he just tipped his hat and left and never broke character.

Taker is a good talker when given the mic. Especially during his Big Evil run. So I'd love to see an out of character speech from him.

His HOF induction class needs to be just him and no none else, just a whole show of stories about his 25+ year career. Hands down the most loyal superstar in WWE history. The Undertaker is the only one that deserves it.

Damn that's a hard one.
I'd love to see his speech, but at the same time he'd probably think getting emotional can hurt his character. Taker is just...man I can't describe it. The fact that he still elicits a response like he does over 25 years after he debuted and his character still to work? Is just unfathomable. For him to span across nearly every era of the business and to be on top of every one of them is insane. I could go on and on but the man not only deserves an induction in the HOF but his own wing. The mans career is a model of what every wrestler should strive to be at. I will shed a tear during that induction ceremony. No doubt.

The whole night needs to be devoted to him, with the other speeches coming from his peers with stories from across the years with The Undertaker giving his speech last.

The Undertaker is the only one that deserves it. I agree with this. It needs to be a 2hr event, the first hour are stories about The Undertaker, w/ several people "inducting" him per-say. The second hour is the man himself speaking about his career. Now here's where I would switch things up even more. He would hopefully have his last match at WrestleMania, then in the fall, it would be announced that at Survivor Series, The Undertaker would go into the Hall of Fame during a special ceremony commemorating his career. That way he would get the respect he deserves and you can still have a HOF class at the following Mania. |

Speech. Kind of the reason I want him to retire is so he can break kayfabe and have a biographical DVD where he can just talk about everything.

Man that's a tough choice. I would be ok with either way. A speech or a simple tip of the hat. Also the idea of dedicating the night just to him would be sweet. There will never be another like the deadman.

Break character. He's really insightful when he's giving a normal interview out of character so i could only imagine how good a speech would be.

His speech should just consist of him saying, "I dug 29 holes for 29 souls." Then he can skip away and never be heard from again.
Then we see.... the return of "Mean" Mark Callous!!
