15 Greatest Cults In Wrestling History
1. The Ministry Of Darkness
Leader: The Undertaker

In terms of branding, how can you possibly compete with The Undertaker's Ministry of Darkness? It's basically the same model as Kevin Sullivan's Army of Darkness, but with a 7' eldritch spirit possessing the body of an old West funeral professional instead of a child-sized Bostonian with horns painted over his eyebrows. Plus, most of his followers were legit monsters who serve as a serious wall to any incoming babyfaces.
The Ministry could be counted upon to participate in basically any nastiness that Undertaker's cold black heart desired, including kidnapping, assault, and literal human sacrifice. This was all in an effort to appease The Higher Power, who infamously turned out to be Vince McMahon all along. The Corporate Ministry was an incongruous mess, but before that, the Ministry's unique combination of physical intimidation willingness to attempt Dario Argento-style violence on basic cable made them a force to be reckoned with.
