The Undertaker's 10 Greatest Comebacks
2. Judgment Day 2000
Though many fans fondly remember the Ministry of Darkness persona that The Undertaker used throughout 1999, his physical condition and his ring work suffered from injury and weight gain that year. Things came to a head in September, when a torn groin muscle put 'Taker on the shelf. He was originally supposed to return at the 2000 Royal Rumble, but he suffered a pectoral tear just days before and would lose several more months, missing his second WrestleMania in the process.
Later in the spring, creepy videos began to play showing disturbing imagery, including girls singing "Ring Around the Rosie." Most assumed these clips spelled a long-awaited return for The Undertaker, but few could imagine the impact his comeback would have.
At Judgment Day 2000, WWE World Champion The Rock defended the belt in an Iron Man match, and as time ran out, the video started to play. When it concluded, an Undertaker the fans had never seen before - one dressed in leather and riding a motorcycle - came to the ring and laid out both competitors with chokeslams. While he inadvertently got The Rock disqualified, costing him a fall and the title, he made it clear that the ring was his yard.
