The Undertaker quotes from WWE SmackDown!

The Undertaker

See, this all goes way beyond the WWE title. This is also very personal. On Survivor Series night, I will have worked for this company for 13 years. And in those 13 years, Vince McMahon has screwed with me professionally and personally. Vince McMahon does not respect me. Vince McMahon does not respect anybody other than Vince McMahon. When I walk into that arena in Dallas, Texas, when I walk into that locker room, those guys in there, they show me respect. They show me respect because in return, I show them respect. Whether I wrestle against them, whether I fight them, we have a mutual respect. We're gladiators, and we go out there and lay it on the line. Vince McMahon on the other hand, respects no one. And for all the people, through all the years that Vince has disrespected, he's gonna have to atone for. Bret Hart, Steve Austin, the list is endless. And I think Vince respects his family even less than he does us. Vince is a man who disrespects his wife by flaunting his affairs for the whole world to see, with no remorse. This is a man who shoves his wife down, in front of the world. Here is a man who takes his only daughter, puts her in a match against himself, and knocks her around, and ends up choking her, until Linda had to throw in a towel to save her own daughter. Then this is all pretty much normal activity to Vince McMahon. Well, I'm a firm believer, and I think this [gestures his heart] with everything that I am, I think that in every man's life, there comes a time where you have to be held accountable for your actions. Everyone. Even if your name is Vince McMahon.

Michael Cole

Undertaker, we understand this is extremely difficult for you.

The Undertaker

Of all the things that I've been in my life, I've never been a liar. So I've requested this time so I can get a few things off my chest and set the record straight. When I was accused by this woman of being a cheater, well I lied. I do know her. But I mean, look, I knew a lot of women like her back then. But see, that was years ago. It was a long time ago, YEARS before I ever met my wife, Sara. So to say I was surprised last week when I got to SmackDown! and here's this woman accusing me of being a cheater, surprised would be an understatement. And man I had to make a judgment call, because all I could see was my pregnant wife sitting at home watching this woman accuse me of being a cheater. Truth is, I haven't seen this woman in about seven years. I don't know what she wants. I don't know if she's been paid off by Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman. I don't know, all I know is the last week of my life has been a living hell due to Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman. But let me guarantee you two something. The hell that I've been through is nothing, IS NOTHING compared to the hell that I'm gonna put you two through this Sunday in the Cell.

Randy Orton

WrestleMania 21. It was supposed to be my night. My time. I was supposed to beat the biggest, baddest legend ever. I was going to beat The Undertaker. But fate intervened, fate decided to intervene, and that didn't happen. Well guess what? Fate repaid the favor, and I'm standing before you on SmackDown!, able to get what I want. Able to get what I deserve! Able to get what I need. I need to beat The Undertaker. Now The Undertaker's been with the WWE for fifteen years. Fifteen long years, and he's achieved legendary status. The Undertaker is a legend! Oh, but guess what? I'm the Legend Killer. All the victims of The Undertaker, they were great. They were great men, but all the victims, all the men that I've defeated in this ring, all those men have been legends. At WrestleMania 21, The Undertaker took away any chance at my immortality. So I've decided to take away everything possibly that I could take away from The Undertaker, and that started last week on SmackDown!, when I took away his chance at becoming World Champion. I DESPISE THE UNDERTAKER! I spit in the face of The Undertaker's legacy! My legacy, my legacy was flourished by every legend that I dropped with the RKO. My legacy will live long, long after I'm gone. It carried through last year's SummerSlam, when I became the youngest World Heavyweight Champion of all time. And at this year's SummerSlam, simply this, I'm going to get what I need. Undertaker, it's time for me to catch what I let slip through my fingers. I will not rest until I beat you. I will not rest until you're on the long list of legends that I've defeated. I will not rest, Undertaker, so what's it gonna be? You and me, SummerSlam, I know you can hear me, do you understand? But I know you're around. I know you're around. What's it gonna be? I want an answer! I want an answer, Taker. Right now damn it, I demand an answer! You and me at SummerSlam! What you say? Come on! I know you can hear me! Where you at?! Come on! [The Undertaker's gong sounds]

Michael Cole

Oh my!

Tazz

Be careful what you ask for! Careful, be careful what you ask for, Cole! [The words "RKO" appear on the Titantron]

The Undertaker

Randy Orton. You want a legacy? SummerSlam. You will rest...in...peace.

Batista

Last week, I explained what I did at No Way Out. And I, I really just wanted to make the point that I am here to compete. When The Undertaker chose me as his WrestleMania opponent, I was honored. It's gonna be a privilege to share the ring with the Deadman. I was honored. I, I was honored. I know why he chose me. The Undertaker, he's a competitor. He's a fighter. He's proud. He brings it. He comes to compete. And he chose me. He doesn't wanna be in there with a pushover, he doesn't want an easy match. He chose me. Then, he chokeslammed me. The point is, I am here to compete. Now we both know where we stand. Now we know it's gonna be war. Now we know at WrestleMania 23, Batista versus The Undertaker is gonna get ugly. I can say this without a doubt, it's gonna be the match of my career. But I wanna say this, I wanna stress this. I have nothing but the utmost respect for The Undertaker. But I will not be intimidated. Therefore, at WrestleMania, [The Undertaker's gong sounds and a graveyard is shown]

The Undertaker

Batista, it's time to take you on a journey. A trip back to the old school. You say you're not intimidated? We'll see. For everyone else, WrestleMania will be heaven on Earth. For you Batista, it will be Hell. And there will be hell to pay. Without death, there cannot be life. [The Undertaker emerges from the graveyard] So all things must die. [Undertaker fills an empty grave with dirt] Batista, at WrestleMania, your reign as champion will rest in peace.

Batista

I grew up a pretty poor kid in Washington, DC. Getting in fights all the time, had to fight my way out of a lot of bad situations. And WWE, same thing. Been in fights A to Z. Street fights, cage matches, you name it. Been there, done that. But this past Sunday, I did something, I accomplished something I thought I might never do. I beat The Undertaker. I, the rivalry between The Undertaker and myself, it's, it's been a war. He's won one, I've won one, we got two draws, in my book, that makes us even. Which is perfect for tonight, since we are tag team partners. So this is what I wanna say. We're not, we have not settled our differences by any means. But Undertaker, tonight, I've got your back and my question is, I'm wondering if you've got my back. 'Cause if you don't [The Undertaker's gong goes off and The Undertaker appears]

The Undertaker

You can rest assured, I got your back. Because you still have the one thing that I want.

Batista

Are you saying you want a rematch? Done. You've got it. [drops the microphone and prepares to leave the ring]

Undertaker

Batista. Hell in a Cell!
