As a kid I was captivated by his awe-inspiring entrances and now he enters the #WWEHOF to be forever immortalized.
A legend. An icon. There will NEVER be another so impactful. Thank you @undertaker. #ThankYouTaker https://t.co/TnMCJut7fu

There will NEVER be anyone who had a run like Taker – both in and out of the ring. 30+ years on top, multiple eras, led by example, and made everyone around him better!
The true MOST VALUABLE PLAYER of all time!
Congrats Mark! @wwe@undertaker #WWEHOF #WrestleMania https://t.co/qbkjdlYoZc
