It's difficult to consider the many ways in which The Undertaker has died on WWE screens, given he was never living to begin with. The man literally known as 'The Deadman' first shambled his way down the aisle at Survivor Series '90, the heavy implication being that he was a Western mortician reanimated from his own mortuary slab.

The ambiguous status of 'Taker's vitality didn't stop his employers killing him off over and over again down the years. The Phenom was categorically put to rest for the first time at Royal Rumble '94, when a platoon of nasties assisted Yokozuna in finally nailing his nemesis in a coffin. After delivering an incomprehensible soliloquy during his death rattle, The Undertaker then ascended to heaven - or at least, Marty Jannetty hooked to a wire did.

The apparently deceased Deadman was found alive and well eight months later... or was he? With the aid of crack cop Frank Drebin, The Million Dollar Man's Undie was outed as an imposter; he was confronted and beaten by a revived and real version at SummerSlam '94.

Since then, The Undertaker has proved harder to put down that a proverbial cat. He's been buried alive, entombed, and even incinerated. But he always sits right back up. Can't keep a Deadman down.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
