Whether it’s fighting through immense pain in the ring, or settling backstage quarrels with poise and authority, they don’t come much tougher than the Undertaker. He might be slowing things down as he reaches 52, but there’s a reason why The Deadman became one of the most feared and respected professional wrestlers both in and out of the ring.

Never one to let an injury stop play, The Undertaker once fought through second degree burns to compete in an Elimination Chamber match at the titular 2010 pay per view. Thanks to a pyro malfunction, Taker was blasted with fire as he entered the arena, and thus made his way to the ring at a much brisker pace than usual. Still, the Deadman finished the match as planned, lasting a ridiculous thirty five minutes in the Chamber.

Not only does he have a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Taker is also well-known as the judge, jury and executioner for ‘Wrestler’s Court’, WWE’s backstage judicial system whereby wrestlers are punished for their wrongdoings. He also once famously threatened violence towards Shawn Michaels, if HBK didn’t put over Stone Cold at WrestleMania XIV.
