The Undertaker is the most successful gimmick in WWE history.

He’s held the World Title multiple times, he’s been in countless main events and he's enjoyed a longevity in the company that is virtually unmatched. While most acts wear out their welcome within a couple years, he’s succeeded over the span of multiple eras, becoming an iconic figure that has transcended into pop culture along the way.

He’s also been involved in some really bad angles. Actually, a ton of them. Perhaps he's starred in more ridiculous and awful storylines than anyone else in WWE history. When one is asked to play an evil mortician who can't die, a few are bound to happen.

Taker has battled a series of immobile monsters over his career, has often had to wear ridiculous outfits and was given a surprisingly deep and messy backstory, when simply saying he worked at a funeral parlor would have sufficed. Despite everything he's been through, he's become a legend. Though even at this point in his run, WWE doesn't like to tell the full story of his career, as there's quite a few things that have been too outlandish, cruel and weird...even for him.

From jobbing to a couple of no-talent wrestlers, to casual pre-meditated murder, here are 10 things WWE wants you to forget about The Undertaker.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
