Thanks to Pwtorch Newsletter for the following:
The Undertaker did not attend the Hall of Fame Ceremony at WrestleMania 21 because he wanted to protect his character, but also because he and Hogan have long standing backstage heat. Undertaker has been bitter towards Hogan from his days early on in WWE when he worked two straight PPV's against Hogan. He heard that Hogan made a point of telling McMahon he wasn't ready for a top spot at that point and claimed Taker didn't protect him well during their matches including on a Tombstone piledriver.
Ever since then, he and Hogan have not gotten along. Many respected the Undertakers decision not to attend the ceremony.
On another note, Undertaker is working with a bad hip and many say it's only a matter of time before he will require surgery in order to heal himself.
When Taker tombstoned Hogan on the chair and won the World Title, I was pretty sad. Today I mark out when I see that though.
