History WMG / TheUndertaker

He added his own touches to make it suit his tastes as well as a security system, knowing that others would try to steal the urn again.

He added his own touches to make it suit his tastes.

The Undertaker, starting after Judgement Day 1998, started acting like a proper heel, rather than the Anti-hero Face/ Tweener he usually is. He started by saying he killed his parents and burned Kane, which is strange, because we have seen how heavily Undertaker cared about his parents from what he told us way before this happened. Thats because he didnt set the fire, the demon thats currently possessing him did (at the time the demon possessed young Kane to set the fire). And this same demon is now possessing Husky Harris. The difference is while Undertaker had his own super natural powers and thus the demon was able to use him as "The Lord of Darkness" (Undertaker was eventually able to get rid of the demon, but it cost him his own supernatural powers, leading to his ABA and Big Evil runs, until 2004), Husky Harris had no such powers, so instead the demon made him into Bray Wyatt, a cult leader.

...somehow the spell was broken or he got a full resurrection back to the human "Mean" Mark Callaway before appearing as the "American Badass" version of Undertaker. He later had to choose to die again or actively repeat the magical process that transformed him in the first place to return to being the proper version of the Undertaker.

** He brought Wrestling/{{Edge}} to Hell once, just to prove a point. Edge wasn't released until he was able to prove to the powers that be that he was actually still alive and didn't belong there.
** And [[Wrestling/{{LayCool}} Michelle [=McCool=]]] has retired in order to help him.

*** Jossed. Taker is still wrestling.

** Effectively confirmed. Cena was the one who made a constant challenge for Wrestlemania 34 for weeks, and Taker ''did'' accept it at the literal 11th hour. ...And then ''squashed'' Cena as if he were a bug in like two minutes flat. Taker hasn't been heard from or seen since, and Cena, already a part timer, has reduced his schedule still further.

Contrary to what most people believe, I seriously doubt Undertaker is retiring at WM 32. According to some rumors, Cena was supposed to wrestle Taker, but Cena's shoulder injury put an end to that. As mentioned above in a previous entry, Cena is really the only person that Taker could go out to. It's not believable for him to lose to a rising talent and all of the other established stars have fought him too often (except for Sting, and it's too late for that). Cena and Taker have only wrestled a handful of times over the years (the last time they fought I think was 2003) and Cena is the biggest star in wrestling right now, which is what Taker needs to end his legacy. So after John Cena returns from injury, he'll be challenged by Taker to a match at WM 33, which, of course will be accepted. Following the match, Taker will retire and Cena will become a part-timer.

Umaga was originally set to beat Wrestling/MariaKanellis so severely -- all over simply accidentally spilling coffee on Eric Bischoff's new suit -- that she would never appear on television again, giving the implication that she had died after being buried alive, having her neck broken, her ribs crushed and other horrific injuries. Umaga turns into a new kind of Monster Heel, one that even the toughest, top faces in the WWE would be unable to even slightly faze ... until Undertaker shows up on the scene, takes his worst punishment and finally stands up to Umaga. A brutal match is planned for [=WrestleMania=] XXIII, and it seems Umaga will escape with a victory (although he's paid a heavy price), having buried Undertaker ... until just a split second before securing the win, Undie's hand emerges from the dirt. Undie eventually turns Umaga's attempts to "rebury" him before he escapes in a huge burst, does a [[HeroicSecondWind Superhman Comeback]] (by no-selling at least 18 Umaga thumb jabs to his throat, snarling and getting angrier by the second) before essentially returning the favor to Umaga (and Bischoff as well), and avenging Maria. This involves unleashing an incredibly brutal onslaught that involves him crushing Umaga's thumbs (Undie uses his bare hands to squeeze them into bits), crushing his skull with a pair of cinder blocks and piledriving him from the ring apron onto the cement floor ... essentially, doing everything to Umaga what Umaga did to Maria and then some.
** During the final match, as Undie is about to secure victory over Umaga, Eric Bischoff shows up to try to sneak attack Undertaker, briefly having the upper hand before he tries to run off. Just then the WWE Divas show off and block Bischoff's escape from the arena and force him back to the Buried Alive area to take his medicine. Bischoff, after begging for mercy, grabs a pitcher of hot coffee and tries one last time to sneak-attack Undertaker by throwing its contents into Undertaker's eyes ... except Undie completely no-sells that and a second attempt. Bischoff, realizing what's about to happen, does an [[OhCrap Uh-Oh]], tries to flee but is blocked by the Divas, caught and Undertaker takes the coffee pot and lets Bischoff have it! Thereafter, Undertaker brutally beats up Bischoff, who is begging for mercy but since he gave none to Maria, neither will he be given any. In the end, a completely defeated and horribly bloodied Umaga tries one last time to escape his burial site but Undertaker throws Bischoff -- like a missile -- into the woozy Umaga, knocking both into the casket one last time and ending the match once and for all. Umaga is badly hurt and when he returns he is never taken seriously again, nothing more than a mid-carder who has a losing record.

The feud was set to take a brief detour in the fall of 1991 and into early 1992 as the Ultimate Warrior feuded with Undertaker's stooge, Wrestling/JakeRoberts. Once Warrior finally puts Roberts out for good, Undertaker has nowhere else to run and is exposed as a cowardly, cheating wrestler, whom Warrior easily beats in what is billed as an epic match at WrestleMania XIII. The Undertaker gimmick is thusly reduced to a mere harmless individual who can no longer be taken seriously, and Mark Caloway immediately leaves the WWF after WrestleMania XIII. On the flip side, Wrestling/VinceMcMahon's doggeded determination to make Warrior the Next Big Thing and World's Greatest Superhero ever ... and succeeds!

Undertaker really does find souls who have escaped from hell and bring them back, at least when he's not busy wrestling. It's what he did all those times when he was ''supposedly'' out on injury, and now, it's what he does between Wrestlemanias.

[[WMG: The Undertaker will return to Wrestlemania one last time...and be defeated by Wrestling/SantinoMarella.]]

** Jossed for the most part. He only made it up to 22 Wrestlemanias. Brock Lesnar ended his streak. You were right about one thing though, everyone expected another easy win for the taker and it was quite the upset.

** Jossed - Brock Lesnar broke it, at WrestleMania 30, ending it at 21-1. Which is how Taker wanted it, since Taker did not want to retire with the streak. He wanted the streak to end so he can have a proper retirement match.


[[WMG: The Undertaker will return for at least one more Wrestlemania match, to face Kane.]]

* We had a taste of it with the streak mode but as perhaps the most loyal, longest serving member of the WWE Taker has a storied career beginning with his introduction with Brother Love, then siding with Wrestling/PaulBearer and his HeelFaceTurn, winning the WWF Championship in a year, beginning the streak by crushing legends such as Wrestling/JimmySnuka, Wrestling/KingKongBundy, Wrestling/KevinNash and Wrestling/SydVicious. The changes in his gimmick from grave digger to zombie to grim reaper to cult leader to biker to phenom to The Last Outlaw. Some events, such as the Hell in a Cell or retiring Wrestling/ShawnMichaels had been covered. What about feuding with the Power Trip? Or winning the WWE title from [[Wrestling/AdamCopeland Edge?]] Plus when the game engine is updated fans would love to go through the AttitudeEra/WrestleMania matches again, either as {{Kayfabe}} or from looking at the real Mark Calaway.
