10 Most Polarising Undertaker Moments Ever

8. Using Paul Bearer's Passing During CM Punk Feud

Big star on his own or not, it was always going to be difficult to realistically portray CM Punk as a genuine threat to The Undertaker's WrestleMania winning streak in 2013; much smaller than 'Taker, Punk was written as more of a verbal antagonist than an outright physical worry for his 'Mania 29 rival.
