To call the Undertaker loyal to WWE would be an understatement. Despite some allegations of an interest in jumping to WCW, the Undertaker has been with WWE for a quarter of a century, and is undoubtedly a shining example of someone sticking to their employer and doing what the higher-ups want. No matter how many opportunities to do something else came up, or no matter how much money he couldve made somewhere else, Undertaker stayed with WWE. While Undertaker has defied the companys wishes in the past, such as when he refused a tag team match with Kane against Snitsky and Heidenreich at WrestleMania 21, in general, he has always followed through with Vinces wishes, and has always upheld the companys traditions and values. One of the best examples of this company mentality of his was the whole issue with the end of the Streak. As was reported many months after the event, Vince told Taker hed be losing against Brock Lesnar only a few hours before the show began. Despite his initial shock, Undertaker accepted this decision, trusting Vinces judgment, and went out and lost to Brock Lesnar. In the end, Vince McMahon might never find another employee more loyal and willing to sacrifice so much as the Undertaker. The fact that Taker still comes back to wrestle once a year is further testament to that loyalty and commitment to the company.
