Ranking All 30 WWE Years Of The Undertaker
Three Decades Of Destruction and a promo about killing snakes with Big Show that lasted even longer.
WWE have always been excellent at preserving and promoting the legacy of The Undertaker, and it's perhaps never been as vital a tool as it is in 2020.
The Survivor Series will mark 30 years since 'The Deadman' arrived in the company, and whatever planned celebration they have for his special day will add valuable flavour to the third 'Big Four' show in a row to take place in front of exactly zero IRL "creatures of the night".
The lack of fans shouldn't impact the melodrama of whatever is scheduled for Undertaker on the night. As of this writing, they've been rather vague as to what exactly he will do, but this year's Network special on his protracted retirement tour seemed to suggest that he'd only step back in the ring for the right match, and if it stood the chance of definitely being his last. With neither realistically an option, the best bet is to expect some excellent video package work and a chokeslam for Elias or some other mouthy pr*ck that steps to the 'Demon Of Death Valley'.
Pardon those low expectations, but consider the current disposition of the company promoting this event, and also the actions of the performer himself in some of the years that weren't exactly as memorable as others. Undertaker was every bit 'The Phenom' when he was good, but nobody lasts three decades in pro wrestling and maintains an entirely perfect record...

Absolutely minging showings in Australia and Saudi Arabia against Triple H and D-Generation X respectively erased memories of his remarkably fun WrestleMania squash win over John Cena.
The latter was such a disaster that even a WWE Network documentary on 'The Deadman' couldn't hide it.
