Undertaker: The Last Ride is an emotional and powerful documentary series that follows WWE's legendary wrestler Mark Calaway, known to millions of fans around the world as The Undertaker, during the final years of his in-ring career. The five-part series, which premiered on WWE Network in May 2020 and concluded in June of the same year, gives an unprecedented look behind the curtain of WWE and sheds light on the physical and mental toll that professional wrestling takes on its performers.

The series starts at WrestleMania 33 in 2017, a match that Calaway admits he shouldn't have done as his body was already breaking down. This sets the stage for the rest of the documentary, as viewers follow Calaway's struggle to come to terms with the end of his wrestling career and the realization that his body is telling him it's time to retire.

Throughout the course of the series, viewers get to see Calaway's personal life, including his wife, Michelle McCool and their children. We get an insight into life behind the scenes and the emotional turmoil that Calaway goes through as he grapples with the decision to hang up his boots. We see footage of him preparing for his matches, meeting with fellow wrestlers and reflecting on his iconic 30-year-career in the WWE.

The series includes interviews with Calaway's peers and fellow wrestlers, as well as legendary WWE owner and CEO, Vince McMahon. We hear stories of Calaway's beginnings in the industry, and the various characters he portrayed, including 'Mean Mark Callous', 'The Master of Pain', and finally 'The Undertaker'. We also see Calaway's various injuries and surgeries, including having his hip replaced.

The series highlights the respect and admiration that his peers have for Calaway, with the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin and Triple H praising him as being the most respected wrestler in the industry. With rare behind the scenes footage, we get an insight into the preparation and hard work that goes into becoming 'The Undertaker'. This includes his nutrition and training regime, his make-up and costume, and his iconic entrance music.

One of the most impressive features of Undertaker: The Last Ride is the amount of access that was granted to filmmakers. We see footage of Calaway, in pain and barely able to move after matches, receiving medical attention backstage. We also get a glimpse into the training and preparation for his matches, which is in stark contrast to the character that we see in the ring.

Throughout the series, we see Calaway becoming more introspective and open about his struggles, which sheds light on the human aspect of professional wrestling. He speaks candidly about his injuries, his family life, and his fears about retiring. We see his vulnerability, his doubts, and his self-awareness. The result is a raw and honest portrayal of one of WWE's most enigmatic and beloved superstars.

The series concludes with Calaway's final match at WrestleMania 36 in 2020, which is a bittersweet moment. We see the wrestler saying his goodbyes and leaving the arena for what may very well be the last time. It is a fitting end to a remarkable career, and one that is sure to leave fans of The Undertaker feeling emotional.

In conclusion, Undertaker: The Last Ride is a must-see for any WWE fan. Whether you are a casual viewer or have followed The Undertaker's career for years, this documentary series offers an unparalleled insight into the world of professional wrestling and the incredible career of one of its most iconic figures.
