10 Best Wrestling No-Sells Ever
2. Undertaker's Death March
It's hard to believe one of the greatest wrestlers of all time started out as, frankly, all sizzle and no steak. But the early '90s were a different time. Nobody really expected show-stealing matches from the 'Deadman,' and, as such, he played his role perfectly.
The classic Undertaker was an allegedly undead force of nature - and, to his credit, he was portrayed as such. 'Taker would feel no pain, not reacting to virtually any strike, blow, or hold applied to him. Instead, he would simply push forward, taking all the attacks with no signs of fatigue, and throttle away, choking the life out of his hapless victim.
Of course, that would have worn out its welcome quickly. As such, the Undertaker then incorporated vulnerability to help bolster his unstoppable aura. If an opponent would manage to assault the 'Phenom' enough, he'd go down. Feeling victorious, many opponents celebrated this feat only for the Undertaker to sit straight up, seemingly unaffected. A simple touch cribbed from slasher movie icon Michael Myers, the eerie movement only made the 'Phenom' feel more powerful, more dreaded.
Slight changes to his game, the sense of timing, and the cold, menacing look he would give terrified enemies helped The Undertaker transcend what is, on paper, a silly gimmick into the most enduring character in wrestling history.
