The five-chapter documentary has been receiving huge praise from fans and critiques as we have got to take an in-depth look at behind-the-screen life of the man behind the legendary character of The Undertaker - Mark Callaway.

#5 There's nothing left for The Undertaker to conquer
The Undertaker has left such a huge legacy on this business that he will be remembered for generations to come as one of the greatest ever. Making his WWE debut in 1990, The Undertaker last wrestled earlier this year at WrestleMania 36. Talk about the longevity!
Not many in WWE can compare their accomplishments to those of The Undertaker. He is a 7-time World Champion who has also had numerous reigns with the Tag Team Championships while also winning the 2007 Royal Rumble. Not to forget, his once undefeated WrestleMania streak of 21-0, something which I firmly believe will never happen again.
After decades of entertaining the fans, having numerous memorable feuds and matches, there's nothing more left for The Undertaker to accomplish in WWE. He himself stated the following on the final chapter of The Last Ride -
"I'm at a point, it's time this cowboy really rides away. There's nothing left for me to conquer or accomplish. The game has changed. It's time for new guys to come up. The time just seems right. This documentary has helped me discover that and opened my eyes to the bigger picture and not judge myself as harshly these last few years." (h/t Fightful)
He truly is The Phenom, a once in a generation Superstar!
