Despite being billed as a Super Heavyweight, and despite being quite immobile during his first few years in WWE, The Undertaker is one of the most agile big men in WWE history. He has shown this through many impressive moves, but none more so than the suicide dive he would do over the top rope. This is a man who weights around 300 pounds, yet has demonstrated enough knee strength and agility to jump over all three ropes without touching them, using only the momentum he got from a running start. Many of his smaller peers have claimed that doing that move is harder even for them, and as such, Undertaker should not be able to perform such a maneuver. Yet he has used it on a regular basis throughout the Attitude Era, and was for a time a staple of his WrestleMania matches. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=876uytNFFxw Not only does it provide an awesome visual, to see him flying over the top rope, but it demonstrated just how much Undertaker was willing to risk to win a match. As seen in a few instances, he has messed up the dive on a few occasions, and at WrestleMania XXV, the botch was so serious that people were worried that he had suffered a serious injury. However, as always, Undertaker pulled through on every occasion, proving his loyalty and willingness to sacrifice everything for WWE and its fans.
