11 WWE Heels That Were So Good They Became Babyfaces

5. The Undertaker

For those watching the then-WWF in the early-€˜90s, you€™ll be aware of just how eerie and terrifying The Undertaker was at that point in his career. Sure, looking back on those times, the old €˜zombie€™ €˜Taker can come off as a little hokey. That was a different time, though, and we were all younger and more easily freaked out. Plus we weren€™t of an age where we€™d question just why an actual undertaker would have any interest in stepping into the wrestling ring in his work gear and with a coffin often in tow. Regardless, €˜Taker became one of the biggest heels in the company, even managing an uber-brief WWF Title reign after defeating Hulk Hogan back in the €œI don€™t do the job, brother€ days. The Deadman would spend a few years as a top heel yet wouldn€™t pick up WWF gold again until 1997. By that point, Undertaker had become The Phenom and was firmly on his way to becoming an icon of the industry. Whilst his feuds with Steve Austin and his involvement with the whole Ministry of Darkness and Corporate Ministry stuff would again call for €˜Taker to embrace his inner-heel, it became apparent by the turn of the millennium that whether he was portrayed as a good guy or a bad guy, The Undertaker and his legacy had gotten to the point where he will go down as one of the greatest superstars in wrestling history. To this day, The Deadman elicits a frantic crowd reaction any time his famed gong rings out over a PA system.
