Seriously...this kinda creeps me out... Taken from WV .com
As noted in the report from the 4/16 WWE event in Dublin, Ireland this week, WWE ring announcer Tony Chimel made an announcement at the show that The Undertaker's retirement tour would be taking place next year in April when the company returns overseas for the next big tour. So this seems to indicate that Undertaker will be finishing up his in-ring career with WWE some time in 2010.
Jesse Taylor sent this correction in:
If you go to WWE.com they already have the Retirement tour listed. If you look at Germany's scheduled events you can see it says 'WWE SmackDown & ECW Present Undertaker's Rest In Peace Tour' and it's well before April.
Here is the tour dates:
Thu, Nov 5 WWE SmackDown & ECW Present Undertaker's Rest In Peace Tour - Frankfurt, Germany 8:00pm
Wed, Nov 11 WWE SmackDown & ECW Present Undertaker's Rest In Peace Tour - Stuttgart, Germany 8:00pm
Thu, Nov 12 WWE SmackDown & ECW Present Undertaker's Rest In Peace Tour - Leipzig, Germany 8:00pm
Fri, Nov 13 WWE SmackDown & ECW Present Undertaker's Rest In Peace Tour - Hamburg, Germany 7:00pm

I doubt that his official retirement would be in November, although it would make sense given he debuted at Survivor Series so he could go full circle with 19 years, but I think WWE would want to retire him undefeated at Mania, perhaps on the nice round figure of 18-0 so April seems more likely. Whenever it is though, it will be a very emotional day for me personally, even more so than my sobbing at Flair's departure.
Edit: I'd always hoped they'd end it on 20-0. but apparently Taker cant go a few more years, so I'll settle for 18-0

He SHOULD end it Taker vs Kane, Survivor Series, Taker wins and Paul Bearer comes out, urn in hand summoning Taker back, cue the smoke and all... just like that Taker goes home.
It would be epic

Exactly...he's got other "ventures" to do like his Real Estate thing, wanting to do MMA(though at his age who knows if he can), etc etc. There are a lot of things he could do outside of WWE, and though it'll be sad to see him go, at least it'll be before he starts looking like a total fool when he can't perform to his usual standard anymore cuz of age and injuries.
In the end, I hope he does go out at SS, it'd make sense. He debuted there, he'll leave there.
