If The Ultimate Warrior at SummerSlam '88 featured the most excitement for nearly all mystery appearance reveals, the mystery partner at the 1990 Survivor Series undoubtedly had the biggest impact, given that the superstar is still competing on the grandest stage today.

The Undertaker made his debut as part of Ted DiBiase's Million Dollar Team at the 1990 Survivor Series and instantly became the highlight of the show. In his debut, The Undertaker was lead to the ring by Brother Love and made an immediate impact, delivering his would-be legendary Tombstone finishing move for the first time on Koko B. Ware.

Shortly after dispatching The Birdman, The Undertaker eliminated The American Dream Dusty Rhodes before getting himself counted out, but make no mistake, The Undertaker had arrived.

As is obvious for anyone reading this column, The Undertaker would go on to have a career like no other in the history of professional wrestling.

From his unique character evolution and his multiple world and other title reigns to his undefeated WrestleMania Streak, The Undertaker will go down as the greatest character that WWE has ever produced and it all began as a mystery reveal - the greatest mystery reveal - at the 1990 Survivor Series.
