People will argue Hogan, Austin, Rock, Cena, etc. is the biggest star in WWE history, and it’s arguable.. but NONE of them can match Taker’s longevity. If there is anyone who has the credentials and career to compete against any of those guys for that top spot, it’s him. Not to mention he IS the greatest character in pro wrestling history.
When you have just about EVERY wrestler he ever worked with or came into contact with at any point of his career, telling you how amazing he was. That says something. That I've heard only really one who spoke ill on Taker and that was Bill Dundee for whatever reason. When you have the guys who many would call the greatest of all time all say Taker was. That all you really need to know. Taker is the greatest. He for sure should be on the WWE mountain rushmore if you will.
In 90s taker was there and he still, he love his job and he is great on it,sure any name will pop up and come and go but not taker, hogan era was cool but as star not wristler
Austin and Rock were great and did it for a very short period of time. 96 to roughly 04. And that tells you how great they were. Hogan made the golden era his own but he wasn't always the best. Cena was great but doesn't resonate as much as Austin and Rock did to the fans. But yes, if we're talking about THE GREATEST, It's gotta be Taker for many reasons. To his many personas (which most wrestling gurus would say a "Career Suicide"), his longevity as you mentioned, and the way he lead that locker room for decades. Taker merely conquered 4 different eras of the WWE and that says a lot about how great he is.
Taker was never produced as 'the guy', he wasn't holding titles long or the face of an era like Hogan, Austin, Cena, etc. But what I think makes him the greatest of all time, was his longevity. He was a big deal from his first match at survivor series and was seen a main event star with the crowd invested in him for all 30 years. He taught a lot of stars, built a lot of stars, put on some incredible matches in his time, and had arguably the most interesting story going into Mania for a decade.
Undertaker was one of the top guys in the Hogan era, one of the top guys in the Rock/Stone Cold Era, one of the top guys in the Cena era, and one of the top guys in the current Rollins/Reigns era. In reality, those 4 eras combined should be called the Undertaker era. As great as those names mentioned were, they are all second to the greatest Professional Wrestler of all time. The in ring psychology, the look, the charisma, the wrestling talent, the ability to tell a story in and out of the ring, the character/persona, the respect for his fellow wrestlers, his ability to keep his opponents safe, his longevity, his ability to stay fresh through that longevity and his willingness to put new talent over at all points in his career. No one in the history of wrestling have ever hit all of those points, much less with the amount of magnitude that the Undertaker did.
Undertaker is the very best. He didn't need titles. The threat that loomed over the WWE for 30 years....bigger then any championship. Every match you wondered...will this attract the Undertaker? Mark Callaway...LEGEND above legends.
That's amazing feat of strength shown by the undertaker. I mean him being able to tombstone mark Henry is just no words. Also for the record I'm sure Taker could've picked up Big show for the last ride or tombstone.
Taker has given the last ride to the Big Show. Taker was in the corner and Big Show stepped on the 2nd rope giving taker the "10 count punch" move. Taker then lifted Big Show and gave him a quick Last Ride for the pin. UA-cam Undertaker Last Rides The Big Show and you'll find a couple of 10 second videos of it. Daily Motion has it but shows the minute before the move happens to see the setup.
Mark Henry was another of my favs. Somebody gonna get their ass kicked. THATS WHAT I DO!!!! He has to be nice. There was a few matches. You could just tell he could destroy his opponent but he made the match last. Respect.
He was only in 1 Wrestlemania prior to wrestling Undertaker at 22. Maybe he got mixed up when he said 4 as in he’s had 4 other matches at Mania. He wrestled at Wrestlemania 14. I think he had a few after 22
1:07 Bubba Ray: Hey Mark, Imma push this jabroni out the way then mention I never worked with Taker at Mania as if that ever could possibly have been considered
He might have been able to but to do that move to someone who is that tall and heavy without dropping them to their head would be pretty damn hard. I think Kane at least could have done it but not safely.
Don't know if I would say G.O.A.T. Arguably top 7 or 8 no doubt. I think he's better than Flair because Ric has destoyed his legacy. Definitely better than Hogan, Bret Hart or Michaels. I tell though who is in the argument, and never gets mentioned. Chris Jericho. 30 years. Awesome stick man. And to coin a phrase, could have a 5 star with a broom. But 'Taker IS an absolute pro, from beginning to end !!!
@@dukedollas4848 Well I would definitely say his in the top 3 "big men" of all time no doubt about that. Possibly THE best. Maybe. But you have to remember; Ricky Steamboat, Curt Hennig, Dusty Rhodes, Bruno Sammartino. There are alot out there to consider. But when you figure probably 100,000 wrestlers have come & gone in the last 50 years, world wide, to put him in the top 7 or 8 STILL means he's pretty damn special....
@@blaynegreiner9365 Savage was great, but from what I've heard, he wouldn't call matches in the ring. Everything was A-B, C-D, E- so on, & so on. To be "rare air", you have to flexible, & alot of them swear he wasn't.
So he said they main evented a pay per view seven months prior in Memphis, but he didn't come back to TV until december of that year from a quad injury. There's so much wrong with his memory here. I'm so confused.
I hope you are just young and naive. The ending and some major spots are decided. Most of the kicks and punches are telegraphed. Some are not. Chair hits? Real. Falls and dives? Real. Slams and falls? Real. Thumb tacks and staples and all that crazy stuff? Real. These guys are stuntmen who put their lives in each other’s hands. Scripted or not, much of the violence is very real.
@@secretfornow8895 i didnt argue about these athletes being stuntmen. What i said is it was scripted. He mention he took undertakers choke slam 2 or 3 times.. no one ever took it... Dude, there is nothing special about taking that move. He was speakin like this wasnt scrpted.
@@dipo2142 You clearly don't know wha you are talking about. The entire thing is NOT scripted. Much is improvised. He was probably only planning on taking that once.

No matter what retired or not Undertaker will always be the lock room leader, and is the guy you can ask for advice for
Mark Henry is massive.
bret hammond let that hurt go pop
bret hammond he won World’s Strongest Man twice before wrestling full time
@bret hammond , And WWE does announce that he is world's strongest man, I know they were fakes, but apparently bigger than I thought.
@bret hammond , You must be seriously strong. How tall are you and good much do you weigh?
@bret hammond I just love how your comments have no likes 😂
The Undertaker = G.O.A.T.
For me Undertaker is the GOAT.

Facts
Taker was never produced as 'the guy', he wasn't holding titles long or the face of an era like Hogan, Austin, Cena, etc. But what I think makes him the greatest of all time, was his longevity.

He taught a lot of stars, built a lot of stars, put on some incredible matches in his time, and had arguably the most interesting story going into Mania for a decade.
Part of it to me is that there was no more anticipated event by the fans than the lights going out and the sound of that gong.
Tommy dreamer is just sitting there thinking about the time the undertaker made him eat his own tobacco spit
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was thinking the same...😂
😖🤢🤮
I remember that
Tommy & the Sandman were glorified jobbers
The Undertaker deserves 2 WWE HoF inductions. One for his remarkable career and the other for TWENTY SEVEN Wrestlemanias.
He just did, with the WrestleMania record. But for the second one, I'm thinking that the BOD should be inducted.
Mark Henry is very humble
Undertaker was one of the top guys in the Hogan era, one of the top guys in the Rock/Stone Cold Era, one of the top guys in the Cena era, and one of the top guys in the current Rollins/Reigns era.

You mean from the "Golden Era" to the "Attitude Era" to the "Ruthless Aggression Era" to the "PG Era" and hell idk what you call it today
You left out the New Generation Era ('93-'97), which was in between the Golden Era, and the Attitude Era.
@@snaidnietahi4654 Sorry I figured I forgot something

Big show was too wide at the time. You can't get your arms all the way locked around him to secure him for the tombstone.
He did it to Vader as well
Imagine how much damage is that doing to takers knees
@@thepatriottz9205 it’s only about ten seconds he’s holding them, it’s hard more on his lower back than his knees
Kane tombstone mark in 1998
Undertaker is truly the most gifted wrestler
The god of wwe
In the thumbnail it looks like Mark is selling insurance...lol.
lol
Longetivity of Taker is above all,so from the Andes to Everest he is all over.,mark thanks.
I remember watching wrestlmania 22 Mark Henry vs undertaker casket match in 2006 when I was 11 years old ,time flies
Taker and Henry ,two loyal dudes to WWE
1997 The Undertaker would be the face of the WWE now
Cena moved back = Squashed
Huge respect for mark

There's absolutely no way Mark Henry had four WrestleMania matches before the one with Taker
He was only in 1 Wrestlemania prior to wrestling Undertaker at 22. Maybe he got mixed up when he said 4 as in he’s had 4 other matches at Mania. He wrestled at Wrestlemania 14. I think he had a few after 22

Bubba this some good shit of a show you got!! Love it!
Undertaker ❤️😇The legend
Henry is a beast!!
1:07 Bubba Ray: Hey Mark, Imma push this jabroni out the way then mention I never worked with Taker at Mania as if that ever could possibly have been considered
If he was aloud to be his bully Ray character in wwe I could see it being a good storyline then match at mania.
Note the word the greatest wrestler of all time
they had a dark match/runnin in mobile alabama a couple weeks b4 where they did mostly all their spots was pretty cool 2 c
You look like Sam Jackson
Mark is a big black massive Bear man is very very strong
Worlds strongest man at one point. Look up old video on him. He was an Olympian.....
The undertaker to do a last ride on big show but I don't think he could ever do a tombstoneon the big show
He might have been able to but to do that move to someone who is that tall and heavy without dropping them to their head would be pretty damn hard. I think Kane at least could have done it but not safely.
ua-cam.com/video/uOIfwwjFfmQ/v-deo.html he did here
He would probably able to do it during his prime I think
@@malikevans2615 technically that was all Big Show. He just jumped off the ropes backwards
Christ, that man's living SFX special effect.
Mark speaking about Mark
Dear Mr Dreamer. Thank you for that tap
Bubba Ray said he hasn't wrestled Taker at Mania.... Yes, he has.... ????
Lol no
@@AhsanKhan-eo8dv yes... he did... with D Von
@@KurgerBingShfiftyFive THAT in samckdown or raw some other PPV not Wrestlemania
He did it on bog show from the second rope.
Taker totally buried Cena.
I feel like he squashed him because he pulled back from the big boot like a puss puss 😆
SHELLBACKS CLUB 🐢 and Cena buried Mark Henry
Lmao cena couldn’t exist in wwf.. ain’t that funny? It was only till wwE for extra gxy till cena was finally able to be something.. go figure..
You don't know what burying means.
@@toddpace4588 u don't either
Suprised he could do "the last ride" to Mark Henry. That is ~400 pounds. He did it off the ropers but still...
I think it was dead weight meaning its easier to do than say a jackhammer
@@dancarter255 you mean a jackknife?
@@iloveyouamberappel I did buddy haha i was tired when I wrote the message thanks for that 👍👍
If Mark Henry wanted to he will destroy the undertaker in a real fight
Strengh - Mark Henry
Striking - Taker
Kane kicked out of two tombstones at wrestlermania 14.
he said the Last Ride
Undertaker GOAT
When wrestling still was good..
Henry forgot that brock took the last ride and kicked out
There were alot of wrestlers who kicked out of the last ride, chokeslam and tombstone at Mania. Shawn Michaels did it numerous times
Up until that point?
@@Gutslinger happened years before in the hell in a cell. The one where Taker was covered in blood
He did send the big show for a last ride....
Mark henry is wrong as kane has kicked out of the tombstone....TWICE in one match.
Philip McMullin He said no one has kicked out the last ride, not the tombstone
@@getontheark8448 He said Tombstone, I ain't deaf!

He ALWAYS talks like that. He naturally loud.

Mark Henry had about as much chance to beat the Undertaker that year as the Pope(in Rome) did in converting to Judaism.
Is that bubba Ray? Never liked him at the time but a great worker
Who remembers when Taker punked Tommy Dreamer and made him drink his tobacco spit?
That was the heel big evil. He was my favorite. He beat anyone in his way including Maven for eliminate him at the Royal Rumble that year
