This is quite sad to hear. I hope it's not anything serious, as there's a chance it could be - Taker is notoriously private and secretive outside the ring, and if he was suffering from something serious, I can almost guarantee we wouldn't hear about it unless he wanted us to.
Of course, this could be about Taker's poor physical condition, which is the more likely scenario. Taker should have retired years ago by now. He may be 48 or whatever, but his body is 68. When you're only physically able to wrestle one day per year and spend the other 364 days recovering from it, your body is trying to tell you something. Undertaker should have listened to his body and probably should have retired by WrestleMania 26, or WrestleMania 28 at the very, very latest. WWE would have let him retire whenever he wanted to, and he should have made that call by now.
Unfortunately, Undertaker looks like another one of those guys who don't know when to call it quits and walk away.
