"Make sure a young talent benefited from his legendary career" undertaker is the greatest person of all time
brock lesnar isnt exactly a young talent lmao
but him ending it was the most logical, and believable out of anyone.
+Matthew Charisma yup
+Matthew Charisma Anyone could've done it. Personally, I think it should have been CM Punk, Kurt Angle, John Cena or Edge.
All of which have had their glory at best, not believable of beating Taker at worst.
Not to say Lesnar is a god of the industry and a young blood, but he's a freak of nature physically, he came back from a long hiatus, it just made sense. CM Punk was dithering, Angle was both aging and dithering, Cena wins everything ever, and Edge was retiring.
Frankly, I think the most logical streak ender was Orton back 10 years ago (holy fuck it was that long ago?). Kid was always going to be a leading guy, had the charisma and athleticism, and could have used the boost when he split from Evolution. That's just me though. I'm personally cool with Lesnar being the one to do it as it stands, and I say all this as someone who's loved Taker and WWE for 20+ years.
Fun fact - Undertaker's name for Paul was poobear. Wendy and Poobear, the most terrifying team in professional wrestling
😂😂😂
Also he was terrified of cucumbers for some unknown reason
imagine if punk got it, then he left the company. that would be a big FU to the streak. same for the new guys. what if suddenly they decided to quit. brock is the best choice, coz he is already at the top, and the best heel for the job.
Alexander Von Rojas uhhh, think you replied to the wrong comment bro
+phoenixsplash135 lmfao.. That has properly tickled me..
I have this vision that at any Wrestlemainia or other big shows that them two were together.. They would be standing behind the curtains and BOOOOOM.. The music hits and they turn to each other and said "Ready Pooh?" - "Ready Wendy..." Both say "Lets do it." and walk out together..
I don't think i'll be able to watch another entrance with them two in the same light ever again. lololol
"... woke a sleeping Undertaker."
*That fragment of a sentence alone is enough to chill your blood*
I wouldnt wanna do that
That sentence alone could freeze the souls of any man alive
That's when you start running
Mark Calloway needs to write a book. I bet that would be one of the best selling autobiographies of any performer.
I'd buy six copies.
I'd buy seven.
+LightningRacer I'd take 10
I'd buy all of them and then sell them at an inflated price on ebay :P
I'd buy the whole lot. 😍
My dad used to be a security guard for Cincinnati events, and he told me that taker was the nicest guy backstage
Even nicer that Kane was backstage, why is it that the people who play characters that are meant to scare the shit out of people are some of the nicest people Backstage
Keir Armstrong it's really weird, both of the brothers of destruction play scary characters on TC but irl they are saints, Kane being a nice guy all the time to the point when Randy Orton was being a dick to a kid and the kid cried he calmed the kid down and cheered him up and he is a person of the people and always put guys over and is planning to run for mayor of Louisville Kentucky as a mayor of the people and he would be a fresh mayor, taker is the same way as being a nice dude and putting guys over and he does charity stuff through his church in Texas and has a charity for saving dogs, both great guys
Very cool. :) Ive heard hes a nice guy. Taker. Im sure yr dad is too :)
@@CRob172 don't forget about their joint animal charity thing!
Although the best thing about Taker is what McCool shared on her instagram a few weeks ago... Apperantly when their daughter gets mad with Mean Mark she asks Michelle to "why everybody in the world loves daddy"
@@peleg6748 wow that just wow
Undertaker's Hall of Fame speech will be extremely fascinating.
TakerKaneanite619 I wonder who would indict him into the Hall? I was thinking Mcfoley. My buddy was thinking Kane. I don't really know him being good friends with any current wrestler.
vik saggu Vince Mcmahon.
I'd think Vince would do it. But, would it be "weird"?
That, or Bret Hart. I remember reading somewhere a while back (and I believe it to be true) that when Owen died, Taker told them he's leaving for a while to take care of his good friend and jumped on a plane to Alberta.
Nobody was going to say anything to him about that. That's how much pull he had.
You'll hear the gong, the smoke'll rise, the Druids will come out, and then lightning will hit the stage with the titantron reading R.I.P. the casket then appears and taker sits up and gives his speech
Probably be Vince to start just like he did with Stonecold but hey i figure4 guys can fit up there they did it for Eddie, We'll have to wait and see
There's always the "the best superstar of all time" thing going on, and there will always be the classic names like HBK, Ric Flair, and the like, but for me it will always be The Undertaker. The reason being that there will simply never be another Undertaker. People have attributed talents with being "like Shawn Michaels", namely Dolph Ziggler, for years, but if you ask me in the history of pro wrestling there has never been and never will be another person like Mark Calaway, The Undertaker.
When he does retire, it will be an emotional time, and he will go out being one of if not the most respected talent in WWE history.
If Ziggler is "like Shawn Michaels" then Bray Wyatt is like The Undertaker. But there's definitely no one like the Nature Boy
Undertaker is no doubt the greatest of all time
+ALX GAMZE Charlotte *cough cough*
Lil Natch!
Finn Balor, I'd say. But Bray is a close second.
I live in Austin TX fun fact so does undertaker. One day I was working at radioshack and he came in to buy a car charger. Nicest man i asked him about his bike he was riding and was super cool he came back a couple times. Always a cool man.
You are really lucky to meet him
It's called the "Tombstone," but with Michelle McCool, it's the "Standing 69."
lmfao
Lmao winner of the comment section right here loool
+OftenUnderestimated the 69 slam
In both cases, rigamortis sets in.

Greatest of All Time. This Legend has been in all the fucking Eras of this fucking Professional Wrestling.
+Sanjay HM fuck yeah
He played basketball in Lufkin, Texas at Angelina College. At one of WWE's shows, one of the basketball teams managers went because the Undertaker was there. He held up a sign that said something about Angelina and how he played there. During his entrance, he walked over to the manager and said, "is that sonofabitch Johnson still their?", who was Undertakers coach and was still a coach there. The manager said yes, and long story short, he got to go backstage and meet the Undertaker after the match.
He transferred to Texas Wesleyan before his junior year because of that coach.
I wish it had been Randy Orton who broke the streak like Taker wanted. Then Randy would still be the Legend Killer.
Orton refused out of overwhelming respect, though you probably already knew that.
Yeah, Taker knew him since he was a little boy and I'm sure Orton looked up to him.
+CASTRO45ACP My top 2 favorite wrestlers
Shawn micheals should have won at 26
nah theres no way shawn would have let the creative team do that to taker lol

URNed his retirement, heh
OHHHHH!!!
God damn it
+Vaas Montenegro I just started playing Far Cry 3 and I already hate your ass!!!
+Clovis senpai G0DDAMMIT, BARB!
+jubbles23 no. Don't. Fucking cringe
To be fair, removing his ability to submit is actually in line with a character like the Undertaker. He's dead and knows no pain, the only way you can knock a zombie down is to destroy it's body. (or brain, but I don't think even TV-14 will allow that)
then why does undertaker sell the pain, when he's in a submission hold?
BacklogAddict that deosnt stop you from you from snapping bones or stopping blood flow alot of submissions are painless till you break
I'm gonna cry like a fucking baby when he retires. For real, I didn't give a shit about Ric Flair, but Undertaker will definitely push me over the edge.
OmegaSanction 👌🏽
OmegaSanction Same! Undertaker is the most badass wrestler ever, he's supposed to be on Smackdown! tomorrow night, and hopefully he's just there for the 900th episode
OmegaSanction same
hi
OmegaSanction same 😫😫
I wonder why you didn't mention Undertaker storming into Vince's office (threatening to kick the damn door down if Vince didn't open it) and basically threatening to walk if Vince didn't apologise to Bret Hart for the Montreal Screwjob, but I suppose that's too well-known to count as a "fascinating backstage fact".
didn't know that shit happened
Wow, really? Didn't know that
It's one of the things I like best about Undertaker- he's a company man through-and-through, unswervingly loyal to WWF/E, never even tempted to leave them for a rival promotion, but he's not just a kiss-ass, he really does have the best interests of the company at heart. He's Vince's most loyal employee, but he's not a yes-man or a stooge. He possibly saved the company by forcing Vince to apologise to Bret.
Why is he not running the company?
off topic, probably the yes man loyal employee category would fall to Kane.
I don't think anyone could say a bad word against Taker. He keeps private, doesn't have any bad PR moments, plays it up for the fans, is well respected and does his job well. Old School.
There is ONE THING. He was a bit rough with his chairshots. Look at Maven, Kanyon, and Kennedy.
@@JRC99 that, my friends is a party pooper.
He's a good dude and never uses his platform inappropriately. Keeps it clean, keeps his personal stuff separate in public forums. A consummate professional. Easily one of the greatest. 🤘
i love the fact that taker literally choked out an Olympian before even asking what was going on hahhaah
I became the fan of wrestling because of Taker. i stopped watching wrestling because of Taker.
your not the only one bro
"The"?
Mohamed Faseeh
Same! I just watch undertaker. He makes me like to play WWE.
Mohamed Faseeh so true the only time I watch is when he's involved
Mohamed Faseeh today we stop
Taker was shocked when he found out the streak was supposed to end with Lesnar. That sadness you see at the end of streak-breaking match is very legitimate - He wanted the streak to end to a new guy so he can give them a big push, he didn't think Lesnar needed that kind of thing at all and he didn't. Orton, who could've REALLY benefitted from it at the time, especially because he was in his "Legend Killer" gimmick and this would've been the cherry on top, refused out of respect. So did guys like Kurt Angle. Lesnar just took it when he didn't need it and thought nothing of it.
I liked the guy back in the day but even back then and especially now, Lesnar is a full representation of absolutely everything that is wrong with Wrestling today - He doesn't care about fans, he doesn't care about what fans want, he doesn't care about traditions, he doesn't even care about putting a good show considering all he does is fucking suplexes and f-5s, all he wants to do is whatever he's told to do in order to get that paycheck and go home. The job means nothing to him.
I personally think Bray Wyatt should've ended the streak. That would of been great.
He kisses Undertaker's head and then hits him with the 4th or 5th sister abigail and Undertaker doesn't rise. Would've been beautiful
Chris Recinos Oh for sure that would of been great! And it would of made Bray look very strong.
MJFSniper81 So of course, the WWE don't do that
Nope sometimes they're brain dead.
This video increase my respect towards untertaker over 9000!!
I tried to get life insurance for the Undertaker and I was told I couldn't because he was already dead.
HahahahahahahahahahahahaHahahahahahahahahahahahaHahahahahahahahahahahahaHahahahahahahahahahahahaHahahahahahahahahahahaha
That joke was 'dead'
+AndyFromBeaverton HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEH!!!!!!!
This joke was just murder.
+Geordan Gundelfinger you kind of killed the joke
wow I haven't watched wrestling in years but Undertaker was always my favorite. I used to respect him as just a damn fine wrestler but learning all this makes me respect him 100 times more
+Joey Vellestra same here
That Monday Night Wars poster was awesome. Good job WhCW Creatives.
Came here to say this. I just had to have it for my wallpaper.

So basically the Undertaker is the fucking man and everyone wishes he was their dad.
+TheTsugnawmi2010 kinda
+David.Larkin *yes
Sounds about right
Wow. So he's my favourite wrestler both in _and_ out of the ring now.
***** Well, it was always a contest between him and Ray Mysterio in the ring. And outside the ring it was always Dwayne Johnson.
The Undertaker will always be my favorite Wrestler of all time. But I prefer 'The Deadman' Undertaker from 1991 - 1999. The streak should never have been broken!!
the ministry angle was what made me watch wwf
Ok. The Ministry was the Darkest that The Undertaker ever was in my opinion!!
bigevilworldwide1 shows that Mark Calloway is a nice guy that looked evil and menacing for his role. He is an actor but the character he played is what I like better.
I wasn't really fond of The American Bad Ass persona. The Deadman to me, must be scary as hell, and the ABA era really didn't do it for me.
+Gerann Gerber The Undertaker is a Part Time Wrestler who wrestles one match a year, he is getting older and he has to retire soon (really soon). I guess he could of retired before it was broken but The Undertaker is a broken bodied Goth grandpa while Brock Lesnar is a statue of meat put together with men's tears and bear teeth, it should have been broken (he even wanted it to). I wish he retired after that match and was put in last years hall of fame.
Undertaker os the G.O.A.T

+Zink chaching hands down, he has / had the best career of any wrestler ever, he may not of been the guy all the kids wanted to be but he was always the undertaker, Even stone cold was multiple personas like the king of the ring.
+Macy Baby what does G.O.A.T stand for?
+SethHesio greatest of all time
+SethHesio Greatest of all time
It's funny how the Clique bullied all.. BAR one person.. hummmmm..
Undertakers best quote was from his DVD... "I'm not bad.. but the bad don't mess with me."
Legend and probably the best ever all round wrestler.. He put Brock over at Wrestlemania.. (Even though looking back, he wish he hadn't.) but he was one of the main reasons that WWF/E beat WCW.. From the Gimik to the Attitude of the man.. The best ever in the business.
👎
+Haroon Abdul Majeed - Not fully true.. The story of Taker wraping his hands was all about HBK putting over Austin over.. HBK wasn't for putting him over until Taker said that Shaun would answer to him if he didn't..
Listen to some of the shoots about them lot and you'll be amazed at some of the things they did to people, the way they treated some and the way they ran to Vince each time they wasn't 100% with the stories.
Put it this way. Them 4 was Hogan split over 4 guys at times.. and now the WWE celebrate them like they was good for business..
+ThePC GamersCommunity
I think it's good for business. I love hearing about the world of backstage during the 80s and 90s. I'd love to buy their DVD.
+ThePC GamersCommunity There's a video floating around of when Ric Flair retired. A bunch of wrestlers and a few other officials are out by the ring paying their respects when the bell goes off. Immediately, the crowd erupts (naturally) and EVERYBODY clears a path for him to walk to the ring. Even Ric himself freezes in respect for his friend.
Which dvd is this?
Randy Orton Breaking the Streak would have made my life
i think randy orton refused to out of respect
+LA 4L42 He did, so did Angle.
lol brock got no respect
ppplllm:-):-)ooookkklk
io
even HHH & HBK refused so right there that said something.
Paul Bearer:Hey,Wendy!
Undertaker...
Later that night in Great American Bash 2004...
Paul Bearer:SAVE ME,SAVE ME UNDERTAKER!
Undertaker:Paul...I have no choice...REST IN PEACE!
Buries him in cement.
That moment you realize, Undertaker shares the same nickname as AJ Styles' wife
Now I respect The Undertaker even more he should be in the hall of fame after he retires
+Extreme Crasher There is no "should". I can guarantee 100% that he WILL be in introduced the hall of fame so fast it will make your head spin.
+Extreme Crasher
No, he should have the honor of being one of the only guys to be inducted beforehand.
+Extreme Crasher *will
+Extreme Crasher The HoF isn't big enough for such a great individual. There should be a whole HoF just for The Undertaker.
+Extreme Crasher yep there is no doubt he will headline the HOF when (not if) he goes in

This should be called 10 reasons why undertaker is bae
He's so sexy and manly
Orton and Angle refused to end the Streak out of sheer respect for Undertaker even though he wanted them to break it that just shows how much respect they had for the Streak
+. Nintendoboy777 Lesnar didn't wanted to break the streak too. But this time around, Taker insisted that Lesnar was the one
+Ciaran McGuinness I don't know what it says about Lesner, that he respected Taker enough to break the streak, or just was the only [non-]wrestler to have the balls to do it. I was pissed until I realized the few years prior when Calloway was "heckling" Lesner at a UFC event was really Taker pitching Lesner's return and ultimately his own demise at Lesner's hands.
Damn, Taker really didn't want that streak or, by proxy, that prestige. The Streak was more important than the Heavyweight belt. It's the main draw for WM for the past 20 years. I can't fathom why anyone would want to give that up.
+edwiniseman4 Well Lesnar and Undertaker are buddys and Taker told Lesnar that he wanted to give him the Streak and Lesnar refused, then Taker insisted and said that if he doesn´t do it he won´t let anybody else do it.
The Demon Of Hell And Darkness Dude, search on the Internet. Lesnar refused, but Taker insisted on him beating the streak.
Who in your opinion should have broke The Streak?
In my opinion CM Punk should have, because 20-1 looks more cool than 21-1
+Xpr3ss. CM Punk is one, Batista at WM 23, Shawn Michaels at WM 25 (then the rematch at WM 26 could have been Taker looking for revenge by retiring HBK), Kurt Angle should have had a shot at some point (maybe at WM XX, and replace him with Kane for the WWE Championship match with Eddie Guerrero still winning of course).
Bray Wyatt should've broke the streak last year but of course there was no streak anymore. Would've been great for wyatt's career going forward
punk wasn't worthy of ending the streak.
+Xpr3ss. CM Punk, Bray Wyatt, maybe Daniel Bryan. Anybody, ANYBODY but Block Lestard who can't cut a in ring promo without putting the audience to sleep so he has to have Paul Heyman do all the talking because he's the black hole of charisma........sorry I just really, really hate Brock Lesnar, even when he debuted I thought the guy had no talent at all besides being able to pick up large men, and my thoughts were confirmed the moment that walking slab of meat started talking.
+Xpr3ss. If you are going to break it, it should be someone who is heel (because they are likely going to get a heel reaction), needs it for their career and is somewhere around their first 5 years of main card status. . Brock Lesner was not the right choice.
I can't say it really surprises me that 'Taker was the one to "discuss" matters with Shawn Michaels. I seem to recall hearing an interview in which Randy Orton admits that 'Taker took him aside for "full and frank discussion" more than once. Didn't say what was actually said, but you could tell by Orton's tone that these little talks were always taken very seriously.

One i can give you: he’s the Undertaker Deputy
That thing about 'Taker being Vince's bully boy and forming his own (k)crew makes sense when you think about how he was a professional leg-breaker before he became a wrestler.
Taker's.
Would have been the greatest fast food chain..ever.
A man can dream...
Has been and always will be the greatest thing to come out of the WWE.
So chances are if he never got hurt in 2010 he'd probably still be a full timer. Regardless of his age his loyalty is unreal.
I still get chills when I rewatch his return as the dead man with the druids.
I fucking hope to hell that wrestlers court comes to the network.
Shadow Heart thought I was the only one who wants it
Now that mark has retired from the ring im kinda hoping something like wrestlers court does come to the network even if it's fake stories and rivalries i just think it would be good unless taker becomes gm or commissioner of smackdown i honestly dont know what kind of public role he could take but i do know that talent he coaches are going to be some lucky bastards.
Matt Dunfee u
I love The Undertaker, but man I swear to god it will literally be like 2020 and he'll STILL be doing like hell in a cell, and I don't even know how that would physically be possible.
IMO Undertaker was the best character in WWE. It's good to know Mark had some freedom in creating him - probably that's why he is as cool.
This video was posted 4 years ago. And the Undertaker is just now actually retiring. Incredible.
This video perfectly sums up why he'll forever be the greatest of all time.

i would sa he is more a badass behind the scenes than infront of the cameras
The man is a real life badass!!! Vince McMahon wishes he can have another Mark Callaway but he wont, guys like that come once in a lifetime, it's probably why Undertaker has been around so long, Vince just wont let him leave
Orton would have been so over if he did break the streak, which would have been fitting since he was still on the Legend Killer gimmick back then. Shame the streak was used on Lesnar, who is not getting any younger.
cause orton didnt want to end it out of respect for the undertaker
Taker's retirement will be marked as the saddest day in WWE history.
2nd saddest day? When the Streak ended.
I fucking love the Undertaker, he's the (in my opinion) definition of a PERFECT superstar. He reinvents himself, he is loyal to the bitter end, old school puts others over, BARELY does any politicking, powerhouse and high flier at the same time, and has some pretty great mic skills.
Loyal, skilled, charismatic, respected, locker room general that essentially nobody has anything bad to say about. Y'can't get much better than that.
Wow. So much newfound respect for one of my all time favorite wrestler, Undertaker is the GOAT.
Kane should have broke the streak Instead of Brock Lesnar
Right
did the wwe determine that outcome????
brock ending the streak
+Stewie Griffin or WWE released an article saying exactly what he said
Somebody that was/is a "lifer" should of ended it if that's what Undertaker wanted. Somebody that eats, drinks, and breathes the business. Maybe it's just me idk. Undertaker was always my favorite wrestler since 3 when I saw him back in 1990.
actually John Cena should've been the one in my opinion..John Cena is 1 win from tying Ric Flair's record for the most Heavyweight Championship wins-he has 15 Flair had 16..Just my opinion here
Only one man deserved to break the streak, and that was the Heart Break Kid Shawn Michaels.
10 more reasons why The Undertaker is the best wrestler who ever lived.
I still think Bray Wyatt breaking the streak would've been a good move for the future.... lesnar didn't need it... but it's over now.... -_-
+Clinton Peacock Wyatt needs to stay a jobber, he is not main event material
I think Shawn Michaels, Triple H Or Kurt Angle should of beaten the streak in my opinion
Mst3kfanatic1 a lot better than Roman Reigns... Wyatt can at the very least cut a decent promo
Mst3kfanatic1 He was Main event material when he faced Cena, got way over with the crowd but then got buried clean to Cena.
I agree! Wyatt should have broke the streak! My dream booking was Wyatt breaking on his first WM and going on to create his own WM streak
A real man's man.
anyone else baffled that kurt angle's book is 1 cent?
Lol yeah what? It just costs a cent?
I love the undertaker .. he's my favorite :)
+Connor Jackson Gotta love youtube comments.
+Wrestler Patrick Right lol

+Anthony Grayson 😂😂
Undertaker is a class act he always did what's best for business
Kane should've broken the streak. Better than brock.
Natalie Allen Kane, Bray, CM Punk, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Sting
Ryder should have broke the streak!!! Think of that push! Think what Ryder breaking the streak would mean! Ryder breaking the streak would literally give the RAW after the biggest TV rating a single show ever had
@@MyahUnleashed Taker wanted the "Legend Killer" (Orton 04) to beat the streak... The general idea is that an up & comer would be the streak and gain major heat
Taker offered the opportunity to Kane twice, but Kane outright refused the opportunity both times, he didn't want to break The Streak, he believed that opportunity should have gone to someone else, particularly someone younger whose career could make better use of the boost. Most of the guys Taker wanted to offer the opportunity to, veteran or otherwise, actually turned it down. And I honestly can't blame them, if I had ever wound up as a WWE wrestler (never would have happened, I'm just not built for it), and I were offered that opportunity, I would have respectfully declined myself. I think he'd offered the opportunity to guys like Batista, Orton, HBK, Kane, etc. but they all declined.
I can understand Taker wanting to have used his career with The Streak to give an up-and-comer's career a boost, but I can also understand why they would choose to decline the opportunity. The Streak was a huge part of WWE history, so I'm sure plenty of guys were either afraid of ending something as historic and legendary as The Streak (and thus, the possible backlash from fans being more detrimental to their career than ending The Streak would be beneficial), and others simply didn't want to end The Streak.
Anyone would be better than Lesnar
The way I see it, Undertaker is great for the business. He's great for the WWE.

Fuck HBK Undertaker is the GOAT in my opinion. His loyalty to the company his legacy his in ring ability at 50 something years old his streak his entrances the respect he receives behind the scenes and of course the level of epicness whenever he has any match and how much backstage speculation there is about his career and his personal life. No one touches Takers legacy and what he's meant to the industry absolutely NOBODY!
My respect multipled by a 1000 for the undertaker and I was a huge fan before this video
I want ONE LAST American BadAss appearance god damnit.
One of the most Humble Person I ever seen and his stories about how he treats new Wrestlers are motivating.
I don't know what it is but Adam is so good at voicing over these videos. Makes them so interesting
Be like the Undertaker and judge people to buy alcohol for you.
Undertaker. He's the man.
Done.
Worked a WWE show years ago, met a bunch of the wrestlers before they died, and since I was running spotlight, heard EVERY issue they had in real time. But it was before I left, coming down from spotlight, I turn the corner backstage and witness Undertaker in full gear, playing catch with a little kid. It was strangely sweet.
Gotta love and respect how Taker was all about being old school and wanting a younger superstar to benefit by Taker putting them over when so many have refused to put the younger talent over.
To think that Undertaker actually had Wade Barrett in contention for breaking the streak!! Imagine where his career would've gone if that happened.
+Budman Not only that.. those guy seems are achiever..
Kurt Angle - Olympic Gold Medalist
Randy Orton - The true and former marine, many people think John Cena was...
Wade Barrett - bare-knuckle boxing champ
Mark Henry - Weightlifting champ
He seems pretty prefer to lose on the achiever and real tough guys...
+Nara Ken delos Santos bitch pls. Rendy orton pussyed out from being marine
+Nara Ken delos Santos You do know Randy Orton went AWOL, right?
KillDastY Ooooohh... there must be also a good reason why he wants Randy Orton break the streak...
+Budman Just hearing that pisses me off to no end. Barrett could have a been a huge talent, but now he's literally got one foot out of the door. Such a waste WWE.
i dont even watch rasslin...but I have great respect for mark calaway aka Undertaker. He IS the american badass.
You know,Mark is a good guy in general.his work inspired me to be a feared but a kind, respectful, and helpful person. I really appreciated his career and work in and out of stage.some time (probably 20s at least)I'll try to be the best WWE wrestler in the locker room.Thank you mark, keep fighting.😀
And now here we are, 5 years later with Taker probably retired as Adam said.. riding off with his motorcycle in the sunset
I lost it at "captain black-hat-smoke-and-fog". XD
it just makes you love him more
The idea of Undertaker waking up from a nap like in the list cracks me up. I can't help but picture he just sits straight up every time he wakes up similar to what he does in wrestling. So just imagine fighting near him and you suddenly hear his music start up while he sits up like Jason Voorhees. That's awesome.
plumpys nicknames for the undertaker are always priceless.
Edge and Christian, that's fucking hilarious
another fact: his entrances are longer than his promos
itd scare the piss out of me too if Taker said hed knock me out if i didnt straighten out my act. and while i wouldve preferred that Undertaker retire with the streak held high and undefeated, which wouldve been better than any title, i can really respect the fact that Mark was not only willing, but WANTING to put someone over and break the streak to heighten someone elses career. thats some serious dedication to the industry. Taker is an all around badass and is my reason for wanting to join the WWE. i can only hope that i'm lucky enough to get a match against him before he fully retires. i mean i dont care about winning or losing, i would gladly lose to Taker if it means i get to work with him in the ring.
I love how every other video is "10 things WWE wants you to forget..." but for the Undertaker it's 10 Fascinating Facts. Undertaker is the all-time legend...the all-time King of WWE
"You go out on your back."
If that's really what Callaway thinks, then the unsatisfying conclusion of the 'Taker/Lesnar feud is explained.
I love that man!
Well done analysis (and research) of a character and a show-biz/wrasslin' career!
I love the Undertaker, I remember watching him being introduced as a kid along with Paul Bearer and then the eventual introduction of Kane who was also one of my favorites. Nothing but mad respect for him for lasting this long. I was a kid when he first started wrestling and now I'm so old I have shoulder, wrist, ankle, hip, etc... pains and he is still wrestling...
