15 WWE Problems Only The Undertaker Would Understand

9. Always The Bridesmaid, Never The Bride

You might say that The Undertaker was always the bridesmaid, never the bride in his WWE career. Granted, he did have headlining runs and even closed Mania. But he never really had the company in the same way that Hogan, Hart, Michaels, Austin, Rock, Triple H and John Cena had it. The fact is that The Undertaker was unlucky enough to find his career peak coinciding with the peak of Stone Cold Steve Austin. He simply had to accept that he wasn't going to be the number one guy. Even in the periods before and after Austin, Taker was always the supporting act to whoever Vince had slotted in the franchise position. He was consistently top class and often used in the main spot. But it was never like an era defining run and even when he main evented Mania in 2008 and 2010 it was firmly in the John Cena era. As for his 97 main event, that was more over HBK and Bret Hart's problems. As big a star as he is, The Undertaker has never really owned a set era.
