10 WWE Superstars You Didn't Know Wrestled In New Japan

1. The Undertaker

Wrestling's changed a lot over the years, but one thing that's remained a constant is that any young wrestler in the game would love to have the career of The Undertaker. In 25+ years with WWE, Undertaker's done it all, and in the process, he's won the respect of both fans around the world and all of his peers. It's a well-known fact that prior to his WWE tenure, Undertaker had a brief run in WCW. While working for WCW, though, he participated in a single tour for New Japan Pro Wrestling. In March of 1990, Undertaker - known as "Punisher" Dice Morgan - spent three weeks in Japan, teaming with the likes of Bam Bam Bigelow and Larry Cameron to take on some of the company's most popular native stars. Undertaker even made a run at gold - with Scott Hall as his partner, Morgan challenged Masa Saito and the legendary Shinya Hashimoto for the IWGP Tag Team Championship. Though things didn't go his way that night, success was not far off in The Undertaker's future.
