Trying to explain The Undertaker's character with any real logic is a thankless task, as WWE's writing team have chopped up and changed so much of the man's history that it rarely makes sense. For example, there is no real explanation as to why 'Taker doesn't rely on the 'power of the urn' today.

During the early years of the character, Undertaker was led to the ring by Paul Bearer. Carrying a ceremonial urn, Bearer was able to use the container to direct 'The Deadman' and even help him recover from devastating attacks. Due to this mysterious hold it had over Undertaker, many enemies made a point of trying to seize control of the urn.

Over the years, the urn has been stolen by Kama and melted into a chain, taken from Bearer so that he couldn't use those rejuvenating powers on 'Taker and even used by CM Punk to get inside The Undertaker's head.

Since Bearer passed in 2013, the urn hasn't really been seen. That doesn't stop it from being one of WWE's most influential objects ever.
