The Undertaker has revealed that he is desperate to wrestle again, four years on from retiring – but admits he doesn't want to run the risk of embarrassing himself.

The 59-year-old hung up his boots (and his signature MMA-styled gloves) in 2020 after what was one of the most legendary careers in sports entertainment.

The WWE Hall of Famer, whose real name is Mark Calaway, now spends his time podcasting, peeling back the curtain on the business and working in an ambassadorial role for the company where he made his name.

He has been a staple piece of WWE for a number of decades, becoming one of the most famous faces of all time and still playing a role today.

But since retiring four years ago, 'the Deadman' admits he wants to wrestle again so badly, but knows his body has broken down and father time has caught up on him.

'And I never wanted to be a parody of myself and I really risked that at the end... Like the match I had with Goldberg in Saudi Arabia.

'I should have picked up on the fact that he'd had his bell rung. I should've been sharp enough to adapt and not try to get to where I was getting.'

The burning desire to wrestle again has also made it difficult for the former WWE Champion to even attend WWE live shows as a result.

'I struggle. I've struggled since I've retired being at live events,' he continued.

'I was at the Rumble [this year] because I had a 1deadMan show in Clearwater. I stayed over and I was at the Rumble and by the time the first match had gone out, I'd left.

'Because internally, my mind is saying "You should be getting ready. You should be going out there."

'I wouldn't say anxiety, but I just get this feeling that I can't take it.'

The Undertaker made a cameo appearance at this year's Wrestlemania, where he took out the Rock on night two to help Cody Rhodes defeat Roman Reigns as WWE Champion in one of the most memorable main events in recent times.

He also reportedly signed a new contract with the WWE around Wrestlemania, putting pen to paper on a new legends contract, a deal also held by the likes of The Boogeyman, Beth Phoenix and JBL.
