Are WWE trying to 'humanize' Undertaker?

I think this whole "re-invention" is sort of like a swan song for the phenom. He no longer considers him as the unbeatable entity but rather the sole survivor of a forgotten generation, he's an outlaw because he refuses to conform with the PG era, and because of that he probably won't be around for much longer.

Don't get me wrong, I actually find this new persona quite enjoyable: His promos come off as more "human" while still containing that demonic atmosphere to them, which keeps him fresh without having to completely revamp himself (such as the case during the biker phase). So if his retirement is imminent, I'd rather see him go out in style rather than becoming stale and forgotten.

On the subject of submission holds, doesn't he have two in his arsenal? I know one is that triangle choke 'Hell's Gate', but didn't he also use a sort of standing dragon sleeper at one point in his career?
