10 WWE Stars Undertaker Succeeded In Elevating To The Next Level
7. Mankind
The Undertaker and Mankind had an excellent chemistry that was obvious from their very first encounter. Mankind seemed to enjoy pain, while Undertakers supernatural character had finally found an opponent that was more or less his equal in terms of toughness. The Undertaker mustve realized the same thing from his matches with Mankind, which is why he agreed to take part in so many gimmicked and dangerous matches, especially Hell in a Cell. That legendary match at King of the Ring 1998 launched Mankinds career to new heights. His willingness to absorb inhuman amounts of pain and take part in so many ultra-dangerous stunts made him a true superstar in fans eyes. So while it was Mankind himself who agreed to do so many stunts in order to prove himself worthy to the WWE Universe and its management, the Undertaker deserves credit for not only showing so much fantastic chemistry with Mankind, but also for willing to go to such unbelievable lengths to make a main-eventer out of Mankind. Undertaker couldve easily refused to work such a dangerous match or take part in such extreme stunts. But he knew doing so would help a fellow star, and so he did what he could to elevate Mankinds career.
