23 Times The Undertaker's Ego Ran Wild In WWE

How many times was the conscience of the WWE actually only looking after himself?

The Undertaker is revered by WWE fans, but there was a period in the early millennium when he was reviled. It seems hard to believe now, but the internet wrestling community really didn't like the guy. A lot of the criticisms were down to the same things that Hulk Hogan and Triple H would get knocked about, primarily ego and politics. However, with the last decade of great performances, fans have generally forgotten about Taker's past misgivings. But if you do dig up a little of The Undertaker's history, you'll see that he was a bit of his own worst enemy at times. His ego ruined several aspects of his career in that late nineties / early 2000's period. It is kind of funny to think that he'd give Shawn Michaels a telling off in 1998 over ego, only to allow his own ego to run wild in the years that followed. The locker room generally allowed Taker to get away with having an arrogance, based upon the fact he still made an effort backstage. It wasn't like he isolated himself the way Michaels did. As for getting away with making demands to Vince McMahon, he was in a position to do so based on being the one big star in mid 90's WWF who didn't think about jumping to WCW. He's became defined by respect, but there's the other side to the story that people should know about.
