No, Mordecai didn't feud with The Undertaker.

Everything about his presentation, from the pseudo-religious symbolism and slow, zombie-like movements, suggested that he should've. Inside the ring, Mordecai was a quicker version of 'Taker's earliest moments. He crushed Scotty 2 Hotty at Judgment Day 2004, then seemed set to move on to a rivalry with 'The Deadman'.

The Undertaker had just returned to playing his classic character at WrestleMania XX mere months earlier, so it made sense. Then, something changed. WWE soured on their new 'White' Undertaker and demoted him back to OVW for more training. He was pretty much doomed as soon as that happened.

Any dreams Mordecai had of working with the best character in company history faded by July. Something never clicked with the new gimmick - it was either too silly for fans to accept or WWE got cold feet on the thought of pushing him. Whatever happened, big Mordy didn't get the match he was blatantly created for.
