The Many Faces Of The Undertaker Ranked - From Worst To Best
1. The Ministry Of Darkness
If I was making an all-time list of the greatest WWE gimmicks ever to make it to television, there’s a good chance that Ministry of Darkness Undertaker would be in that list in a pretty healthy position. The most demonic form of The Undertaker didn’t even last an entire year and also had to put up with the great mess that was Higher Power storyline, but this was the Attitude Era going full-on evil cult and doing it with aplomb.
In the nine months that Undertaker was at his most heel he led a group of brainwashed cultists to kidnap not just Steve Austin but also Stephanie McMahon, whom 'Taker tried to wed in a truly disturbing ceremony. It was terrifying, it was troubling and it was terrific television.
The more and more I think about 'Taker and his Ministry of Darkness, the more it becomes clear that that is what WWE should have been doing with the Wyatt Family. The Ministry legitimately made people uncomfortable, scared for their safety and their loved ones. Bray should have put the fear of God into people.
Because that’s what The Undertaker did for those few months in 1999. 'Taker became a larger-than-life character, more so than usual, and did it with the most evil of intentions. He is universally respected now (despite his tendency to kick Brock Lesnar in the spuds), but we often forget that his creative high point came as evil incarnate.
