Is there an individual in professional wrestling more respected than The Undertaker? Whilst ranking levels of respect is obviously difficult, when discussions of respected pro wrestlers come up it is the Deadman whose name is mentioned first. An old school man in a new school world, Taker has avoided many of the extra curricular pitfalls that many wrestlers seem to discover.

When you think of locker room leaders, 'Taker tops the list. The stories of The Phenom taking charge of wrestler's court are near legendary, examples of one individual commanding the entire respect and attention of an entire roster of wrestlers. If someone was out of line, they'd have to explain themselves to The Undertaker.

No many has defended the integrity of professional wrestling as respectfully as The Undertaker. Even so, The Undertaker is one of the few wrestlers who have broken company rules and gotten away with it. Whether it is visiting strip clubs or even being allowed to use the piledriver in the modern age, 'Taker is in a league of his own.

He may well be the most respected professional wrestler of all time.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
