Few dates have gone down in wrestling folklore like the debut of The Undertaker at Survivor Series 1990. The seemingly innocuous inclusion of a quasi supernatural mortician zombie in a traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match gave rise to one of the most revered and respected careers in WWE history.

Entering the match as the surprise inclusion to Ted Dibiase's Million Dollar Team, The Undertaker was like nothing audiences had ever seen before. With stoic movements and sudden bursts of malice, 'Taker wasted no time in making an impact.

A minute into the match, Koko B Ware became the first ever televised victim to the Tombstone Piledriver and was swiftly eliminated. It's strange to go back and watch today; Undertaker makes a rare error by delivering the move opposite the hard camera and catching his opponents feet on the ropes.

Minor mistakes aside, Undertaker was an unstoppable force. Even both members of the Hart Foundation failed to take him down. Though his team ultimately won the match, 'Taker himself was eliminated via count out after he refused to stop chasing Dusty Rhodes outside the ring.

The career that followed was incredible. But to see where it all began, a revisit to this great match is more than worth your time.
