When The Undertaker debuted at Survivor Series in 1990, there was no way anyone predicted the future career that he would have and the many ways in which this character would utterly change the business.

Mark Calaway's new character became the foundation of how to create a supernatural presence in the world of wrestling and make it work. On paper, it shouldn't make any sense, but the commitment that Callaway brought to the role fully displayed how to move forward with such a venture.

Secondly, the longevity of his career is unparalleled. There will never be another performer who can match the commitment and length that The Undertaker has had with the company, especially as he wrestled throughout the Monday Night Wars when departure from WWE was quite common.

Finally, The Undertaker's career doesn't just show how to make a character last, but proves how being adaptable and shifting your role with the times can make the name consistently fresh, as the multiple eras he wrestled in were matched by his character.

The Undertaker changed a great many things in WWE and deserves the highest accolades, as his impact on the industry is utterly profound.
