When WWE created The Undertaker's gimmick they had no idea that the man portraying the character (Mark Calaway) would still be wrestling 24 years later. It just sort of happened that the 6'10" 300 pounder was the right choice. He's built up the reputation as the conscience of WWE and the locker room leader that is arguably the most respected performer in the history of the company. The Undertaker became a main event performer within his first year. He had his struggles in the early 1990s as he learned how to be a top guy and he improved over the years.
