History Trivia / TheUndertaker

* CreatorBacklash: Never, ever bring up his [[OldShame Mean Mark gimmick]] in front of him.

----> '''Cena''': If I were really this "black-arts manipulator", pulling all the strings this close to ''[=WrestleMania=]'', you really think I'd be standing in a ring toe-to-toe, face-to-face with YOU!? Hell no! I'd be standing face-to-face with the Undertaker!

*** Wrestling/{{Sting}} was approached to wrestle the Undertaker, but turned it down because he disliked Vince McMahon's treatment of former WCW talent.

** Plans were for Undertaker to originally face Wrestling/JohnCena at [=WrestleMania=] 32 onwards, and Taker himself handpicked Cena to potentially be his final opponent. However, there are three separate reasons why it was called off or not made official:

*** ''[=WrestleMania 34=]'': The Undertaker VS Cena dream match hasn't announced yet at the last minute because the card is too stacked and the WWE officals are too focused on crowning Reigns as the new Universal Champion, Lesnar's departure, and Rousey's in-ring debut. Additionaly, according to [[https://wwfoldschool.com/wwe-officials-discussed-saving-john-cena-vs-undertaker-wrestlemania-35-two-important-factors/ this site]], the WWE officials might be considering saving The Undertaker VS Cena match for ''[=WrestleMania=] 35'' (probably because a) it's the best time for the aforementioned dream match since WWE wants to make sure Reigns becomes the new face of the company first and b) it's [[MilestoneCelebration the 35th anniversary]] of ''[=WrestleMania=]'').

** Thrice over at Wrestlemania 21:

** According to Wrestling/KurtAngle, he was considered to end Undertaker's streak at Wrestlemania 22 in a match for the World Heavyweight Championship instead of at No Way Out 2006. Undertaker was willing to take the loss because he hadn't had a 5-Star WrestleMania match and the writing team was willing to do it to keep Angle looking strong as champion.
** Wrestling/TommyDreamer mentioned that he had worked out a deal for Wrestling/{{Abyss}} to come to WWE, and they were even considering him as an opponent for The Undertaker at ''WrestleMania 23''. Unfortunately, Abyss got cold feet about leaving TNA, and backed out of the deal at the last minute.
** Twice over at Wrestlemania XXVII:

** Plans were for Undertaker to originally face Wrestling/JohnCena at WrestleMania 32 onwards, and Taker himself handpicked Cena to potentially be his final opponent. However, there are three separate reasons why it was called off or not made official:

*** ''[=WrestleMania 34=]'': The Undertaker VS Cena dream match has turned into either an improptu match or a face-off segment at the last minute because the card is too stacked and the WWE officals are too focused on crowning Reigns as the new Universal Champion, Lesnar's departure, and Rousey's in-ring debut.

** Plans were for Undertaker to originally face Wrestling/JohnCena at WrestleMania 32 onwards, and Taker himself handpicked Cena to potentially be his final opponent. However, there are two separate reasons why it was called off:
*** [=WrestleMania 32=]: Cena is still recovering from his latest injury (although he briefly showed up to help Wrestling/TheRock fend off the Wrestling/WyattFamily), resulting with Wrestling/ShaneMcMahon taking over in Cena's place.
*** [=WrestleMania 33=]: Vince replaced Cena with Wrestling/RomanReigns because he wanted to build on future stars instead. Cena brought this up and lampshaded it during a ''[=SmackDown!=]'' segment with Wrestling/TheMiz and Wrestling/{{Maryse}}.

** Several fans have remarked about what might have been had the Wrestling/UltimateWarrior resolved his differences with Wrestling/VinceMcMahon after the 1991 SummerSlam and continued his feuds with Undertaker and Wrestling/JakeRoberts. These hardcore fans wanted to see -- after disposing of Roberts -- a final, ultimate showdown pitting Warrior and a still-heel Undertaker at [[Wrestling/WrestleMania WrestleMania VIII]], with Warrior gaining a decisive victory. Surely, Undertaker's push would have been squashed (as his credibility as an unbeatable, more-dire-than-usual force would have been destroyed) and certainly there would never have been anything close to resembling "The Streak," much less Calaway remaining with WWF/WWE all these years, and certainly not as the Undertaker.
