10 Biggest Regrets From The Undertaker's WWE Career

7. Giant Gonzalez

The man who gifted The Undertaker with his most infamous WrestleMania match until the end of the Streak, Giant Gonzalez was supposed to be a force-to-be-reckoned with in the WWE. His debut at the Royal Rumble went a long way in solidifying that but everything after that did not - especially not their 'Mania match.

Vince McMahon had a reputation for pairing 'Taker with giants who were limited in the ring, but it was never quite as obvious as it was here (and it certainly didn't help that he was dressed as a giant naked man with glued on fuzzy body hair). Gonzalez's limitations were clear to see and 'Taker - restricted by his zombified mortician persona - was unable to get a decent match out of him.

'Taker himself recently revealed that he wanted to work with Yokozuna that year but an excited Vince gleefully told him he had something 'better' in mind for him. Yeah, that didn't work out so well.

The whole affair has since gone down as one of the hokiest and lacklustre periods of his entire career and you can rest assured that if he could have prevented it from happening, he would have.

Needless to say Vince didn't learn his lesson and repeated history 13 years later by shoehorning 'Taker into an identical program with the Great Khali.
