According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com, there is a lot of concern about The Undertaker’s health and his long-term future in wrestling following his performance in Puerto Rico a few weeks back. When Undertaker had his hip surgery after Wrestlemania, people backstage saw it as a minor issue that was being taken care of. As it turns out, it was actually more serious than expected (some sources claim a hip replacement). There were even private concerns as to whether he was going to get back in the ring at all.
One of the reasons Undertaker's Breaking Point PPV bout was booked to only go nine minutes was due to his pain as of late and the fact that he has been moving noticeably slower. There is some talk going around right now that Wrestlemania 26 could be his final major PPV event.

If this is his last WM, they should allow him to retire with the streak intact!
Whether they do or not is a whole different ball game...

I personally would like to see him go 20-0. Sounds more fitting. I think he could do it. If he only wrestled WM 26, 27, & 28 then he could possible he would be fine. But if he keeps up this schedule, then for sure WM 26 would be the last WM for him.

What a sad day when he retires .... I definitely hope he wins, the Undertaker is the man.
All these years have taking a bigger toll than we know of apparently.

I have a serious feeling 'Taker would have a large say as to whether the streak stays intact or not. The guy is the defacto leader in the lockeroom and is arguably the most respected guy to ever work for the WWE.
As for his hip, that's a real bummer. When Hogan had his hip replacement, it wasn't as big a deal simply because HUlk was always mostly a stationary guy anyway. But with 'Taker, if he did in fact have that surgery done, I'm sure it's affected greatly what he's able to do in the ring.
I could defintitly see the WWE doing with Undertaker what they do with Stone Cold...bring him in 2 or 3 times a year, have him deliver a finisher on someone, get his standing ovation, and head to the house.
