Taker
The Undertaker is inarguably one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time. He has been with WWE (known as WWF back then) since 1990. He had kicked off his career under the “Mean” Mark Callous gimmick, Back then he was just a midcarder for the company. But he was catapulted to success when he was repackaged as “The Undertaker”.
Briefly in the 2000s, he even debuted a new gimmick in the form of the “American Bada**”. But the Deadman gimmick returned soon and the fans went crazy. This has easily been the most popular supernatural character in the history of the company. But not only his character, he is one of the most talented wrestlers to have stepped inside the ring.
The Deadman’s Wrestlemania streak is a testament of his prowess inside the ring. Taker is also the longest tenured Superstar in the history of the company – with his association with WWE spanning over three decades. Over the years, there have been numerous things that have become synonymous with Taker.
The gong, the lights going out, the long overcoat, the throat-slitting pose – if you thing about any of this, you are bound to think about The Undertaker. One move that he has made synonymous with his name is the Tombstone Piledriver. He recently appeared for an interview with FOX Sports’ Ryan Satin where he revealed his most memorable move.
“I’m going to say Mark Henry. Because just of his sheer size, I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to do it or not. My number one goal, always, is to protect my opponent. I think the world of Mark and I knew at that particular time I was strong and healthy, but he was a really big dude when I tombstoned him. I was so proud of myself that I had him, I tombstoned him,” mentioned Taker.
The Undertaker regrets his Super Showdown match
One of the matches that The Undertaker would give anything to erase from his career is the one that took place at the Super Showdown. He was having a match against Goldberg, which turned out to be a complete botch fest. In fact, in a scary moment, Goldberg dropped Taker right on his head!
The Deadman recently appeared on the True Geordie Podcast, where he opened up about the botched-filled bout. “I’m thinking, We gotta pay this off. Maybe if I was working more often I would have recognized the fact that, maybe we shouldn’t do that. That was one of those instances where two inches, I don’t get up,” mentioned Taker.
