The Last Ride documentary returns this Sunday for its second-to-last episode. The 48-minute fourth installment, “The Battle Within,” is an accurate portrayal of The Undertaker’s desire to retire with his legacy intact, juxtaposed with his refusal to walk away.
The doc opens with an enthralling first five minutes, as we hear insight from Bruce Prichard, an out-of-character Bray Wyatt, and the now deceased Paul Bearer, as well as see some fascinating B-roll of The Undertaker during old-school WWF promos where he was digging graves, blacksmithing and building caskets. The brilliance of his past is contrasted by the abject disappointment of Taker’s trip to Saudi Arabia, where he tagged with Kane against Triple H and the returning Shawn Michaels, a match that served as a harsh reminder that younger opponents were needed in order for The Undertaker to come close to approaching anything great again in the ring.
