10 Things That Will Define The Undertaker's WWE Career

25 years of the Deadman.

Has there ever been a more universally respected and admired professional wrestler than The Undertaker? In a world where the internet has seen shoot interviews become the norm, where retired workers take every opportunity to throw shade at their former colleagues, The Undertaker is a beacon of pure respect. Nobody has a bad word to say about him, that rarest of situations in professional wrestling. He has been at the top of the business for 25 years, 25 years where change has almost become the norm. He saw the tough times of the mid 1990s, the heady years of the Attitude Era, the transitional times of Ruthless Aggression and now the PG experience. The Deadman has done it all, which isn't so bad for a dead guy. Defining his career down to 10 things is night on impossible then, but I'm going to give it a go anyway. The Undertaker has gone through a number of changes to his gimmick in attempts to stay fresh (notoriously difficult for corpses), and he has had more gimmick matches created in his honour than all other wrestlers combined, a fact that I can't verify but am going to assume it is correct. His career is the story of modern day professional wrestling. So here we go, the career of wrestling's deadest man in 10 things...

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
