The Undertaker’s career has now come to a full circle. He has been a part of professional wrestling for over three decades. Mark Calaway began his wrestling career in 1984. In 1989, The Undertaker first appeared in WCW, where he wrestled as “Mean” Mark Callous. The Phenom moved into the WWE in late 1990 at Survivor Series, later becoming one of the most remarkable debut appearances of all time.
Hats off to the living legend, The Undertaker
For the next 30 years, his character The Undertaker evolved steadily as he clashed with other WWE legends such as The Heart-Break Kid Shawn Michaels, Mankind Mick Foley, and Hulk Hogan. The Undertaker has won six World Tag Team Championships and seven World Championships in the WWE. Although it was never about the titles for The Deadman, his legacy came with stories and the moments he shared with Triple H, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and many others.
The Undertaker is arguably the most significant persona that the wrestling world has witnessed. The Phenom was a part of many greatest wrestling matches. Some of his most iconic battles were against Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 25, and the other took place in a Hell in Cell match with Mick Foley at the 1998 King of the Ring.
