Known For: Nothing. The Undertaker had one of the least newsworthy careers in wrestling. Seriously, 'Taker is regarded as one of the finest gimmicks in WWE history, but the character might've been nothing without the dedication and skills of Mark Calaway behind it. His incredible 30-year stint between 1990-2020 had highs and lows, but the fact it's still weird to think of company locker rooms without The Undertaker in them speaks volumes.

What Happened To Him: Calaway has experienced a new lease of life since formally retiring from the ring in 2020. In truth, his final few years were spotty at best - matches against AJ Styles and select other efforts ruled, but even he palmed his forehead in embarrassment at scraps against Goldberg, Roman Reigns and a particularly calamitous tag effort with Kane vs. Triple H and Shawn Michaels over in Saudi Arabia.

'Taker has launched himself headfirst into exhaustive 'tell all' projects since. He's gone on stand up Q&A tours, has a 'Six Feet Under' podcast, and seems happy to lift the lid on all things 'Deadman' no matter what fans ask him. It's clear that the guy relishes this chance to examine his career properly after so many years of protecting it like his life depended on kayfabe roaring back as an industry must-have.

WWE inducted Undertaker into the Hall Of Fame in 2022. There, they were able to celebrate one of the best to ever do it, and shine more spotlight on a staggering WrestleMania winning streak that only ended with a loss to Brock Lesnar in 2014.

The Undertaker is happy, which surely isn't a sentence anybody thought they'd be saying about such a macabre character in years gone past.
