3. The Undertaker's Funeral Dirge Instantly Sets Him Apart
The Undertaker made his debut at the 1990 Survivor Series Pay-Per-View. Back then, his music wasn't quite what it would become, but the change was important. Quickly, the WWF added a tolling bell to 'Taker's entrance, and the character never looked back. Even today, that bell signals the immediate arrival of something different. That unique flavour had helped Undertaker thrive. When he first appeared, The Undertaker wasn't the only WWF star to have music. Pretty much everybody had a tune by November, 1990. However, the vast majority of those songs were loud and proud rock music tracks. At the very least, many featured guitars and vocals. The Undertaker's music didn't, it was a funeral dirge which suited his persona down to the ground.Music has been key to the success of The Undertaker over the years. Even in 2015, fans still react with sheer excitement whenever that first bell sounds and the lights start to darken. It's a wonderful piece of drama which sums up for many why pro wrestling is so provocative. Taker's music made him stand out from the crowd as far back as the early-90's.
