WWE held the Elimination Chamber PPV outside the USA this year. It was at the Jeddah Dome, Saudi Arabia. The PPV saw many good matches happen throughout the night, like the Women’s Elimination Chamber match, Becky Lynch vs Lita, etc. Also, WWE showed the Hall of Fame video of The Undertaker in the arena. The fans in the arena started cheering the name of The Undertaker after watching the video. The Deadman is one reason WWE is famous worldwide. Saudi fans were hoping Taker to show up this year too for the last time at Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Originally, The Undertaker was in talks to be in Saudi Arabia for an appearance. They planned him to be a part of a non-wrestling segment, celebrating his Hall of Fame induction after they showed the video. Maybe it was a last reception type segment from The Phenom [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/the-undertaker/] to the fans of Saudi Arabia. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/stories/wwe-news-brock-lesnars-unexpected-f-5s/] Apart from The Undertaker, another Hall of Famer Kurt Angle was also in talks to appear at Elimination Chamber. Angle was scheduled for 3-4 weeks prior to the Elimination Chamber event, obviously in a non-wrestling role. PWInsider [https://www.pwinsider.com/ViewArticle.php?id=156013] confirmed this news on their website yesterday. They planned both the legends to have an appearance on the show. However, The Undertaker did not make the trip to Saudi Arabia, so they dropped his segment from the show and showed only the video. Kurt Angle’s return plans were canceled weeks ago, which canceled his segments and appearance at Elimination Chamber. It would have been great to see both the legends at the show, especially The Undertaker, after his Hall of Fame induction announcement. HOW MANY MATCHES HAS THE UNDERTAKER WRESTLED IN SAUDI ARABIA? WWE at Elimination Chamber showed the Hall of Fame video of The Undertaker and all the fans started chanting his name. It was a showcase of his popularity, even if he was not present at the arena. Since WWE [https://www.wwe.com/] started doing PPVs in Saudi Arabia, they have featured legends in every event, and the Deadman was one such legend. Taker is very much loved in Saudi Arabia and he never disappointed his fans there. Middle Eastern Kingdom [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-the-undertaker-in-saudi-arabia-the-deadmans-rich-history-in-the-middle-eastern-kingdom/] The Undertaker has wrestled in four WWE premium shows in Saudi Arabia out of seven shows held and the fans there love Taker. 

The Undertaker and his former rival from early 2000's were suppose to make an
appearance at Elimination Chamber but the plans were canceled by WWE.

<h2 style="text-align: center">WrestleMania</h2>
One of WWEâ€™s Big Five, WrestleMania is arguably the largest pro wrestling event in the world. Its first iteration featured the likes of Andre the Giant, Mr T, and Hulk Hogan, and a total attendance of just shy of 20,000 people. With WWE increasing the stakes each year, its latest iteration, WrestleMania XL, is set to feature over 25 of the promotionâ€™s biggest wrestlers, including Dwayne Johnson, Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and Rhea Ripley.
<h2 style="text-align: center">WrestleMania Origins</h2>
WrestleMania was conceptualized as a rival to NWAâ€™s Starrcade, which began in 1983 and was initially organized by Jim Crockett Promotions. The two promotions were in a fierce battle to come out on top in the 80s, with NWAâ€™s popularity waning as the then-WWF expanded nationwide, with a hope to go global. Former WWE head honcho Vince McMahon was credited with creating the concept of WrestleMania. The PPVâ€™s name originated from WWFâ€™s lead ring announcer Howard Finkel, as a play on the Beatlemania of the 60s.

As WWFâ€™s inaugural PPV, the first-ever WrestleMania took place in 1985 at Madison Square Garden. Though WrestleMania 1 didnâ€™t manage to outshine the 1985 edition of Starrcade, which had a combined attendance of 30,000 people, it still managed to beat Starrcadeâ€™s debut attendance of 15,000, with over 19,000 people attending WrestleMania 1 in person, setting the stage for a PPV that would go on to become a household name.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Evolution of WrestleMania</h2>
<h3 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania I-IV: The Foundation</b></h3>
Even with its debut, WrestleManiaâ€™s core tenet was â€œgo big or go homeâ€. WWF went all out, with a match card featuring wrestling greats like The Iron Sheikh, Andre the Giant, Hulk Hogan, Ricky Steamboat, David and Bruno Sammartino, and The Fabulous Moolah. In keeping with what would later become tradition, the flagship marquee event also featured several big names from the era, including boxing legend Muhammed Ali, pianist Liberace, pop sensation Cyndi Lauper, and New York Yankees manager Billy Martin.

The all-round success of WrestleMania 1 saw WWF overtake NWA and AWA (American Wrestling Association). The event was critical to the '80s wrestling boom, which saw a sharp increase in the demand for professional wrestling.

Shortly after, WrestleMania II took the show to another level, simultaneously taking place in three different venues across the country - New York, Chicago, and California. While initially received poorly, as the logistics of organizing a major wrestling event across three venues overtook the promotion, it set the stage yet again for WWF one-upping itself with each edition.

In comparison, WrestleMania III managed to outshine its previous iterations, having broken the record for the largest recorded attendance at an indoor live event in North America with a purported attendance of over 93,000 people, only broken by WrestleMania 32 in 2016. It was also iconic for its matches, with Ricky Steamboat vs Randy Savage, and Hulk Hogan vs Andre the Giant going down in history as two of the greatest matches in pro wrestling history. While not as iconic as its predecessor, WrestleMania IV featured the first appearance of Donald Trump at a Mania, marking the start of the relationship between the promotion and the Trump Organization.
<h3 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania V-X: The Golden Era</b></h3>
WrestleMania during the Golden Era was truly something to behold. The promotionâ€™s fame had skyrocketed, effectively cementing itself as a stalwart player in the pro wrestling industry. With the success of WrestleMania came the introduction of pay-per-views like SummerSlam, Royal Rumble, and Survivor Series, meaning that the Golden Era had more to offer throughout the year.

However, WrestleManiaâ€™s popularity never waned with the addition of the new PPVs, as it continued to remain the biggest wrestling event in the country. WrestleMania saw some of the most legendary moments in WWE history in the early â€˜90s. Major feuds between Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage, and Shawn Michaels, aka Mr. WrestleMania, and Razor Ramon managed to outsell competitors in popularity.

The Golden Era of WWE served as a platform to cement the legacies of several WWE legends who have remained a household name till today, including Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, and The Ultimate Warrior. WrestleMania VII also saw the beginning of The Undertakerâ€™s Mania streak that would continue well into the 2010s.
<h3 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania XI-XX: Attitude Era Impact</b></h3>
WrestleMania during the Attitude Era saw the culmination of several iconic storylines coming to a head at the Grandest Stage of Them All. The PPV reached its peak during this period, with â€˜Stone Coldâ€™ Steve Austin beating Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania XIV for the WWF Championship title, marking the first of six title reigns.

This also marked the beginning of the legendary rivalry between Austin and Dwayne â€˜The Rockâ€™ Johnson, the epitome of the Attitude Era. WrestleMania XV saw the first fight between the two pro wrestling stalwarts, where Stone Cold beat The Rock during the main event to win back the WWF Championship belt.

The beginning of the new Millennium also saw the introduction of the first-ever Triangle Ladder match, with the iconic tag teams The Hardy Boyz, The Dudley Boyz, and Edge and Christian going against each other for the WWF Tag Team Championship. This era also saw the first-ever WrestleMania under the WWE at WrestleMania XIX, which also marked the end of Steve Austinâ€™s feud with The Rock.
<h3 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania XXI-XXX: New Millennium Milestones</b></h3>
In keeping up with becoming bigger and better, WWE introduced the concept of the Money In The Back ladder match at WrestleMania 21, which would become a main fixture in the PLE. This period of WrestleMania managed to rival the Attitude Era, giving us iconic matches with The Undertaker vs Batista at WrestleMania 23 and Ric Flairâ€™s retirement match against Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania XXIV.

WrestleMania XXX in particular was something to behold, as The Undertakerâ€™s unbroken 22-year streak was finally broken by Brock Lesnar, rendering the WWE universe in awe. Other moments also include Daniel Bryanâ€™s rise to the top after an initial win against Triple H and a win against Randy Orton and Batista for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
<h3 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania during the 2010s</b></h3>
The latter half of the 2010s saw increased interest in WrestleMania as WrestleMania 32 broke the attendance record previously set by WrestleMania III, with an attendance of over 101,000 people. With WWE itself moving towards organizing events in international venues, this expanded the reach WrestleMania had with fans outside of the States. WrestleMania 35 was the first since 2000 to not feature The Undertaker, but more importantly, was also the first WrestleMania to feature a womanâ€™s main event, with a triple threat match between Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, and Ronda Rousey.
<h3 style="text-align: center">WrestleMania in the 2020s</h3>
<h4 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania 36</b></h4>
WrestleMania 36 was a plethora of WrestleMania firsts, with the first-ever edition of the PLE to be held across two nights and the first to not have a live audience due to pandemic restrictions. Considering restrictions, the 2020 iteration of Mania was widely regarded a success, especially in the backdrop of no live audiences, as well as several last-minute changes to the roster to account for potential health risks. This was also heightened by WWE deciding to play with its format, with a Firefly Fun House match with Bray Wyatt taking down John Cena.
<h4 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania 37</b></h4>
While WrestleMania 36 was an example of WWE making do, WrestleMania 37 saw the promotion come back bigger and better. The 37th iteration of The Show of Shows took place in Tampa, Florida, where the reduction in COVID-19 protocols meant more freedom for WrestleMania to have a live audience, albeit limited capacity and with restrictions to the audience.

This also marked the first WWE event to be livestreamed solely on Peacock, a product of the WWE Networkâ€™s earlier merger with Peacock in March of that year.
<h4 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania 38</b></h4>
WrestleMania 38 marked the year when WWE returned the Showcase of the Immortals to its full capacity, with over 131,000 people attending over the course of two days. This also led to the evolution of WrestleMania Weekend, with WWE kickstarting the PLE with a special edition of Friday Night SmackDown featuring an Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal. The PLE also saw the surprise return of Cody Rhodes, as he took on Seth Rollins on Night 1, as well as Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar headlining the event on Night 2.
<h4 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania 39</b></h4>
In its most recent iteration, WrestleMania continues to prove its worth as the biggest pro wrestling event in history, with Mania 39 grossing $21.6 million in ticket sales alone. The PLE saw the appearance of several modern WWE greats including John Cena, Brock Lesnar, Rey Mysterio, Charlotte Flair, Edge, Roman Reigns, and Cody Rhodes.

<h2 style="text-align: center">The Undertaker 2022: Net Worth, Salary, &amp; Endorsements</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">Mark Callaway, better known as "The Undertaker", is perhaps the most iconic superstar in the history of the WWE. For the better part of his career, his name was synonymous with professional wrestling.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">The Undertaker became a cultural icon around the world. Moreover, the gong signifying his entry still induces goosebumps in long-time wrestling fans. However, you'll be shocked to know that this legend wasn't always into professional wrestling. Initially, he wanted to pursue a career in basketball.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">However, fate took him to the doors of World Championship Wrestling (WCW), where he wrestled as Mean Mark Callous. Before that, he had wrestled for WCCW and Continental Wrestling Association under various gimmicks.</p>
https://youtu.be/sCZzhsd_NNY
<p style="text-align: center">His true calling was the WWE where he made his iconic debut as a part of the Survivor Series team of Ted DiBiase, called The Million Dollar Team. His moniker was The Undertaker, a person who disposes of corpses. The idea seemed silly at face value, and it was thought that The Undertaker will become another one of WWE's monster heels who only exist to make the babyfaces look better.</p>
https://youtu.be/1yT9LC6-i64
<p style="text-align: center">However, with his utmost dedication and the backing of Vince McMahon, he converted it into one of the most successful gimmicks in WWE history. He won numerous accolades and played various versions of his character. In the attitude era, he was the evil priest leading the ministry of darkness.</p>


[caption id="attachment_420586" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-420586 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201023191332/GettyImages-117935251.jpg" alt="Undertaker and Kane" width="1920" height="1258" /> The Undertaker vs Kane during Wrestle Mania XX at Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York, United States. (Photo by KMazur/WireImage)[/caption]
<p style="text-align: center">After that, he switched it for a biker character which received mixed reviews. However, the most successful version of his character came under "The Dead Man" personality, which gained mainstream recognition and saw many popular rip-offs. That was how powerful he had become.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Interestingly, The Undertaker character gained such a life that WWE created several layers of the storyline around him. He was given an entire family, which included his evil father, Paul Bearer, who would walk around with his urn all the time.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">He was also given a fictitious brother in the form of WWE legend Kane. WWE had a great time creating hundreds of storylines around these characters, leading to some of the greatest moments in WWE history. They also inspired lots of fan fiction about his family members.</p>
https://youtu.be/EbXEG0w2R70
<p style="text-align: center">Another famous legend around his character is his various deaths. Obviously, WWE would play with that, considering the opportunity. He has died so many times on television that it's difficult to keep count, and there's an entire match concept around this called "The Buried Alive" match. Wrestling fans happily suspend their disbelief to enjoy this fantastic character.</p>


[caption id="attachment_455423" align="alignnone" width="612"]<img class="wp-image-455423 size-full" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/taker-and-vince.jpg" alt="The Undertaker with Vince McMahon" width="612" height="408" /> WWE Owner Vincent Kennedy McMahon (c) flanked by superstars The Undertaker (l) and Brock Lesnar (r) (Photo by Simon Galloway - PA Images via Getty Images)[/caption]
<p style="text-align: center">Over the years, The Undertaker became so popular that it was impossible for him to remain heel. Fans would cheer for him, regardless. That's why, even though his character had evil connotations, he played babyface many times in his career. As a living legend today, he gets the biggest props, and history will remember The Undertaker as the man who changed the course of professional wrestling forever.</p>

(Photo by JP Yim/Getty Images)[/caption]
<p style="text-align: center">The Undertaker <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Undertaker">holds many records</a> within the WWE. He is a seven-time world champion, winning the WWF/E championship four times and the world heavyweight championship three times.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">He is also a six-time tag team champion, winning once with Stone Cold Steve Austin, twice with The Big Show, once with The Rock, and twice with Kane. Moreover, he is the winner of the 2007 Royal Rumble. That explains why he is considered one of the greatest wrestlers of all time.</p>
https://youtu.be/VkuwPP250YU
<p style="text-align: center">However, his biggest success rate is at WWE's biggest show, WrestleMania. The Undertaker debuted at WrestleMania in 1991 and won against Jimmy Snuka in his match. Over the years, his WrestleMania win-loss would extend to 21-0.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">He only missed out on WrestleMania 10 (1994) and WrestleMania 2000. The streak was finally broken in 2014 by The Beast Brock Lesnar.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">The Undertaker has competed in five more WrestleMania matches since then, winning four of them against Bray Wyatt, Shane McMahon, John Cena, and AJ Styles. His only loss came against Roman Reigns, which made him only the second wrestler to defeat The Undertaker at the biggest stage of them all.</p>

The Undertaker

The Undertaker 2022: Net Worth, Salary, &amp; Endorsements Mark Callaway, better known as &#8220;The Undertaker&#8221;, is perhaps the most iconic superstar in the history of the WWE. For the better part of his career, his name was synonymous with professional wrestling. The Undertaker became a cultural icon around the world. Moreover, the gong signifying his entry still induces goosebumps in long-time wrestling fans. However, you&#8217;ll be shocked to know that this legend wasn&#8217;t always into professional wrestling. Initially, he wanted to pursue a career in basketball. However, fate took him to the doors of World Championship Wrestling (WCW), where he wrestled as Mean Mark Callous. Before that, he had wrestled for WCCW and Continental Wrestling Association under various gimmicks. https://youtu.be/sCZzhsd_NNY His true calling was the WWE where he made his iconic debut as a part of the Survivor Series team of Ted DiBiase, called The Million Dollar Team. His moniker was The Undertaker, a person who disposes of corpses. The idea seemed silly at face value, and it was thought that The Undertaker will become another one of WWE&#8217;s monster heels who only exist to make the babyfaces look better. https://youtu.be/1yT9LC6-i64 However, with his utmost dedication and the backing of Vince McMahon, he converted it into one of the most successful gimmicks in WWE history. He won numerous accolades and played various versions of his character. In the attitude era, he was the evil priest leading the ministry of darkness.

(Photo by KMazur/WireImage) After that, he switched it for a biker character which received mixed reviews. However, the most successful version of his character came under &#8220;The Dead Man&#8221; personality, which gained mainstream recognition and saw many popular rip-offs. That was how powerful he had become. Interestingly, The Undertaker character gained such a life that WWE created several layers of the storyline around him. He was given an entire family, which included his evil father, Paul Bearer, who would walk around with his urn all the time. He was also given a fictitious brother in the form of WWE legend Kane. WWE had a great time creating hundreds of storylines around these characters, leading to some of the greatest moments in WWE history. They also inspired lots of fan fiction about his family members. https://youtu.be/EbXEG0w2R70 Another famous legend around his character is his various deaths. Obviously, WWE would play with that, considering the opportunity. He has died so many times on television that it&#8217;s difficult to keep count, and there&#8217;s an entire match concept around this called &#8220;The Buried Alive&#8221; match. Wrestling fans happily suspend their disbelief to enjoy this fantastic character.

Fans would cheer for him, regardless. That&#8217;s why, even though his character had evil connotations, he played babyface many times in his career. As a living legend today, he gets the biggest props, and history will remember The Undertaker as the man who changed the course of professional wrestling forever.

(Photo by JP Yim/Getty Images) The Undertaker holds many records within the WWE. He is a seven-time world champion, winning the WWF/E championship four times and the world heavyweight championship three times. He is also a six-time tag team champion, winning once with Stone Cold Steve Austin, twice with The Big Show, once with The Rock, and twice with Kane. Moreover, he is the winner of the 2007 Royal Rumble. That explains why he is considered one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. https://youtu.be/VkuwPP250YU However, his biggest success rate is at WWE&#8217;s biggest show, WrestleMania. The Undertaker debuted at WrestleMania in 1991 and won against Jimmy Snuka in his match. Over the years, his WrestleMania win-loss would extend to 21-0. He only missed out on WrestleMania 10 (1994) and WrestleMania 2000. The streak was finally broken in 2014 by The Beast Brock Lesnar. The Undertaker has competed in five more WrestleMania matches since then, winning four of them against Bray Wyatt, Shane McMahon, John Cena, and AJ Styles. His only loss came against Roman Reigns, which made him only the second wrestler to defeat The Undertaker at the biggest stage of them all.
