WWE honored The Undertaker with his very own statue before his WWE Hall of Fame induction. The Deadman’s two greatest in-ring rivals, Triple H and Shawn Michaels, revealed the statue. It was an incredible moment, and The Undertaker took to the microphone to say some words. The Undertaker had some of his best matches with Triple H and Shawn Michaels. Moreover, when it came to his WrestleMania streak, Triple H and Shawn played a major role. The two matches with Shawn and three with Triple H at WrestleMania were simply incredible in storytelling. Hence, these two WWE legends unveiling the statue was very appropriate. THE UNDERTAKER’S REACTION TO HIS STATUE BEING UNVEILED The Phenom looked emotional at first as he stared at the statue. He then embraced Triple H and admired the statue before he took on the microphone. The crowd present for the statue unveiling started chanting “You deserve it” at The Undertaker. The Deadman said, “You don’t know how much it means to me. We are a forever brotherhood. No matter what, no matter where we are, we are always a brotherhood and we always will be.” He then turned towards Triple H and Shawn and added. “And you two guys, you know, if you guys ever want to, you know, give up your KLIQ card. We might have room for you.” Read more: The Legendary Career of The Undertaker Comes Full Circle With His Hall Of Fame Induction [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-the-legendary-career-of-the-undertaker-comes-full-circle-with-his-hall-of-fame-induction/] The crowd reacted hilariously to this dig by The Deadman. Both Triple H and Shawn Michaels started laughing as well. The KLIQ, an on-screen and backstage faction in WWE during the 1990s, was composed of Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Scott Hall, Sean Waltman, and Kevin Nash. This faction had a reputation of being very exclusive and even had its own locker room. Hence, The Undertaker [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/the-undertaker/] seems to have taken a hilarious dig at Shawn and Triple H, as he said that they can give up their KLIQ card and join him and the WWE Universe. FANS REACT TO THE UNDERTAKER’S PROMO AT THE STATUE UNVEILING WWE posted this video on its Instagram account, and it received many reactions from the fans. Some fans remembered The Undertaker’s own backstage faction known as “Bone Street Krew” as he talked about The KLIQ. Here’s a look at the best reactions.

<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>

<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>

<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>

<p style="text-align: center">The Undertaker has been known to be a wrestler who has kept his personal life under the curtains. This was largely to protect the sanctity of his larger-than-life character.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">However, a part documentary series released on the WWE Network called The Ride gives us a never-before-seen look into his life. It takes a glimpse into his career and features comments from his peers. His wife, Michelle McCool, is also a part of the series.</p>

<p style="text-align: center">The Undertaker can be seen as a normal man with a family and ambitions. It had been shot for a period of three years.

Triple H

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA &#8211; OCTOBER 11: WWE Executive Vice President of Talent, Live Events and Creative Paul &#8220;Triple H&#8221; Levesque speaks at a WWE news conference at T-Mobile Arena on October 11, 2019 in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was announced that WWE wrestler Braun Strowman will face heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury and WWE champion Brock Lesnar will take on former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez at the WWE&#8217;s Crown Jewel event at Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on October 31. (Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images) Triple H 2021: Net Worth, Salary, &amp; Endorsements Most Superstars in WWE take their entire career to reach their goals. No Superstar, however, has come as far as Triple H in the business. ‘The Game’ has traversed a vast distance in his long and illustrious career in WWE.  Triple H has been involved in several showdowns and even as an executive for WWE, he is one of its best professional wrestlers. Despite being more involved in the company&#8217;s running now, Paul Levesque is able to wrestle whenever a feud idea comes up. History Early Career and WCW Triple H was inspired by wrestling from a young age. To become like his role models on TV, he himself began working out and exercising to build himself up.  His physique at a young age was commendable, and he wanted to take his talents to professional wrestling. Meeting Ted Arcidi at a gym was Levesque’s road to the business.  Arcidi, a world-famous powerlifter and employed by WWE, agreed to introduce Levesque to popular wrestler Killer Kowalski, who had his own training school.  Levesque began training with Kowalski and ended up fighting in his promotion known as International Wrestling Federation (IWF), where he became the IWF Heavyweight champion. Levesque then joined WCW under the ring name, Terra Ryzing, in 1994. He worked with the promotion as a villain and soon had his name changed to Jean-Paul Levesque, which made use of his original French surname. He even spoke in a French accent. WWF Triple H was offered a contract by WWE (then WWF) after impressing Vince McMahon with his performance at Starrcade 1995. Levesque signed the contract and officially began his career at the company.  Initially, Levesque played the role of a snobbish character who referred to himself as a “Connecticut Blueblood”. He was given several good matches in the first months of his career.  On his request, he went by the name Hunter Hearst Helmsley. This name would later be shortened into HHH or Triple H. Levesque found himself in extremely troubled waters during an incident involving the Kliq, which was a backstage faction comprising of Helmsley, Shawn Michaels, Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, and X-Pac (Sean Waltman). After an infamous character-breaking incident at Madison Square Garden in 1996, Levesque was solely punished for the Kliq’s actions. As a result, he was poorly booked for the next few months.  Apart from a fight with the Ultimate Warrior and a few other matches, Helmsley had a shaky start in WWE. He covered it up by bouncing back strong with big feuds against Rocky Maivia (The Rock) and ended up defeating Goldberg at WrestleMania 13.  D-Generation X ‘The Game’ soon earned his place in WWE, teaming up with Shawn Michaels to form D-Generation X, which would go on to become one of the most famous teams in WWE history.  Initially working as villains, D-X were known for their craziness inside the ring. Their catchphrase, “suck it,” caught on well with the crowd of the time.  D-X feuded with the Hart Foundation and Triple H continued his feud with Owen Hart after that, winning the European Championship at WrestleMania XIV.  During this era, Triple H slowly moved on from the Connecticut Blueblood persona to a more gruff, jacket-wearing character to match the energy of D-X. His name was also switched to Triple H, although he is still referred to as Hunter sometimes.  Triple H went on to have a feud with The Rock who was growing as a major villain, being part of the Nation of Domination. After The Rock won the WWF Championship, ‘The Game’ continued the feud along with a tussle with The Corporation, which saw Vince McMahon (as Mr.McMahon) team up with The Rock. Following several betrayals and plot-twists involving Chyna, Triple H finally joined The Corporation himself, betraying his teammate X-Pac in one of the biggest crowd shockers in WWE history. The Corporation and Attitude Era Triple H gradually moved away from his D-X look and moved on to his characteristic look through his title feuds. He won his first-ever WWF Championship in a victory over Mankind on Raw is War.  He would then get thrown into a bungle of feuds with Mr. McMahon, Mankind, and Stone Cold. He dropped the Championship, regained it, and dropped it again to Big Show before continuing his feud with Mr. McMahon who was now his biggest enemy.  By this point, Vince McMahon had become actively involved in the storylines of the Attitude Era that was defined by his feuds. To get back at his arch-rival and the owner of the company, Triple H married McMahon’s daughter Stephanie in the storyline. McMahon-Helmsley Era With the marriage, the two formed the McMahon-Helmsley faction that blasted its way into the peak of the Attitude Era. The action saw Triple H getting into feuds and rapid matches with Chris Benoit, The Rock, Stone Cold, and Kurt Angle.  Introducing his new nickname as ‘The Game’ in the context of his dominance over the sport, Triple H won the WWE Championship and the World Heavyweight Championships multiple times from his foes.  His feud with The Rock finally ended with a loss at &#8216;King of the Ring&#8217; and he then fought Chris Jericho in another storyline involving the WWF Championship. The era was defined by his feud with “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, a storyline involving Vince McMahon as well. After Austin nearly tried to kill him with a forklift and Triple H and the two had a series of extreme matches, they settled their differences and became a Tag Team! HHH and Stone Cold ambushed The Rock, Chris Jericho, and even beat The Undertaker and Kane for the WWF Tag Team Championships. A series of short title reigns and switches characterized the entire era.  An injury saw HHH miss the entire invasion storyline with WCW (now acquired by WWE), and he returned later to win the Royal Rumble and became the Undisputed WWE Champion shortly after.  Ruthless Aggression Era Triple H became the dominant figure in the Ruthless Aggression era, marking his territory with several title reigns and huge feuds. He was close to joining the faction nWo, but McMahon disbanded the team over disputes.  He then turned heel once more by attacking his best friend Shawn Michaels at a planned D-X reunion. This marked the end of the historical storyline friendships between the two stars. He then had a creepy storyline with Kane.  Triple h became the first WWE World Heavyweight Championship by winning the newly introduced belt. It was the same one WCW used and  NWA before that.  Evolution ‘The Cerebral Assassin’ then formed a faction including himself, Randy Orton, Batista, and Ric Flair, known as Evolution. The group would go on to make groundbreaking progress in the main roster. All three of the members left Armageddon 2003 holding a title.  Following this, HHH feuded with Shawn Michaels, Booker T, and Chris Benoit. He went on to have a feud with former stable-mate Randy Orton, in which he merged victorious. He was, however, beaten by Batista later in a major feud that ended at Vengeance.  Triple H ended the evolution era with a final feud against Ric Flair, which he finally won at Survivor Series. The rest of his run was peppered with great matches against the best Superstars of the generation like John Cena, Edge, and others, and he also captured the WWE Championship multiple times.  He also reunited with Shawn Michaels to revive D-X which had another two runs. Triple H appeared in multiple huge fights at WrestleMania and nearly broke Ric Flair’s record of most title reigns of all time.  Corporate Role Triple H began getting more involved in his corporate role in WWE. He was now an executive in the company and also a part-time wrestler. However, this didn’t stop him from cracking great angles.  Using his role in the company, he formed a “white collar” character that started off as a babyface, and slowly changed into a power-hungry heel. Triple H challenged The Undertaker at WrestleMania twice in an attempt to break the streak and avenge the career of Shawn Michaels, which was ended by Taker. He fought hard but was unsuccessful in both.  ATLANTA, GA &#8211; APRIL 03: Triple H and Undertaker battle during their WWE No Holds Barred Match at &#8216;WrestleMania 27&#8217; at the Georgia World Congress Center on April 3, 2011 in Atlanta, Georgia.

He went on to continue his feud with Paul Heyman until he was ruled out due to an injury.  The Authority “The Game” once again revived his relationship with Stephanie McMahon as the corporate heads of WWE, forming The Authority faction. The Shield (Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and Dean Ambrose) were their enforcers.   The Authority’s reign would be riddled with rebellion from John Cena, which eventually took the entire thing down. However, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon managed to make a big move and used Seth Rollins as their spokesperson to return.  Triple H then had feuds with a returning Sting, which he won at WrestleMania. He then would have feuds with Roman Reigns and later Seth Rollins, both of which he failed to win. The Authority itself was taken down completely when Kurt Angle and Ronda Rousey defeated Triple H and Stephanie at WrestleMania. His last major feud was with Batista, who challenged his former Teammate to the last battle. Triple H managed to beat ‘The Animal’ at WrestleMania, settling their decade-long rivalry.

He has also made sporadic appearances but has reduced his in-ring appearances as a professional wrestler.  He now plays an important part as the driving force of NXT and also plays a critical role in spreading the WWE recruitment territory to the world. The future will be in safe hands if Paul Levesque someday takes the reigns.
