For a quarter of a century, The Deadman has loomed over the WWE landscape likea menacing shadow, spelling out doom for those who dare cross him. Imbued with seemingly mystical abilities and preternatural in-ring ability, The Undertaker is a WWE great in a class by himself, and no list of legends would be complete without him.First introduced at 1990’s Survivor Series, The Phenom debuted as the final member of Ted DiBiase’s “Million Dollar Team.” It wasn’t long before he began to battle with Hulk Hogan, then at the top ofthe food chain in WWE. This clash set the tone for Undertaker’s dominant career. No one was too big and no one was safe from his gloved grip.A multiple WWE and World Heavyweight Champion, a six-time tag team titleholder and a Royal Rumble winner in 2007, Undertaker’s accomplishments in WWE have cemented his place among the greatest in the game. He is a true, in-ring pioneer, having been part of manyWWE firsts, including the inaugural Hell in a Cell Match in October 1997, the first-ever Casket Match at Survivor Series 1992 and the first-ever Buried Alive match in 1996.But there was one achievement that stood out above all others; one that will likely never be topped. Since Tombstoning “Superfly” Jimmy Snuka at WrestleMania VII in 1991, Undertaker maintained a winning streak at The Showof Shows that stood at an astounding 21-0. CM Punk, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Jake “The Snake” Roberts, Randy Orton, Kevin Nash and many more fell at The Deadman’s hand, leaving the WWE Universe to believe that this record would never be blemished for the rest of time.That changed at WrestleMania 30 when, after three F-5s, Brock Lesnar pinned The Undertaker and ended The Streak, leaving The Deadman at 21-1 at The Show of Shows. Those who thought that spelled the end of The Deadmans careerwere proven wrong one year later when The Undertakeremerged from seclusion to defeat Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania 31, proving there was still plenty of fight left in him. At SummerSlam, Undertaker got retribution for the ending of The Streak, defeating Lesnar with the Hell’s Gate. The win came with controversy, though, as a replay showed The Deadman tapped out to Lesnar’s Kimura Lock before locking in the Hell’s Gate.In their final battle at WWE Hell in a Cell, The Beast and The Deadman squared offinside the demonic structure. The bout was one of their most brutal, both Superstars leaving everything inside Hellin a Cell. Ultimately, Lesnar proved he may indeed be unstoppable as he bested The Phenom perhaps for the finaltime.After the match, The Undertaker was assaulted by The Wyatt Family. Outnumbered and still feeling the effects of his brutal match woth Lesnar, The Wyatts decimated The Phenom before carrying him away from the ring.Targeting both The Deadman and Kane, The Wyatt Family aimed to destroy The Undertaker once and for all at Survivor Series. The event held certain significance as it marked The Phenoms 25th anniversary. Teamed with his brother, The Undertaker decimated Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper, emerging victorious with his legacy in-tact.In the face of all challenges, The Phenomhas risen stronger and mightier than ever, serving as sports-entertainment’s grim reaper of justice — his name permanently etched like an epitaph on the history books of WWE. It seems that no grave can hold him; no god will claim him and no devil will have him. In the end, there can only be one suitable resting place for the almighty Deadman: the WWE Hall of Fame.
