      @tdmftdsunknown7596 Před 2 lety +1

      Favorite Undertaker match? I’m such a HUGE fan of his. He’s been literally my life so The Undertaker has sentimental value to me therefore while I’m happy he’s at peace with retiring and is happily retired bc he more than deserves to be happy and spend quality time with his family after giving his life to this business and fans myself included for over 30 years even through injury and all that.
      So with all that said I’m sorry to say that I’ll have to try to pick a favorite from each of his 30 years in WWE bc that’s honestly the best way for me to state my favorite match of his:
      1990: Survivor Series 1990 minus being eliminated by count out AFTER he tagged out therefore he was not the legal man so it was a mistakenly wrong call to have him be eliminated.
      1991: Survivor Series bc he won the world title defeating Hogan who was everything in wrestling at the time. But should’ve been a longer reign and gotten a 1 on 1 rematch. I’d have him win cleanly without Flair at Summerslam. Still don’t understand why he wasn’t in a match that night at all lol.
      1992: RR match or WM8
      1993: RR match bc of how dominant he was and that he probably would’ve won if it wasn’t for Gonzalez lol.
      1994: The 3 ppv matches had great Undertaker entrances. But my favorite match from this year was Survivor Series.
      1995: Bad year imo for Undertaker creative and booking wise. But Survivor Series is again my favorite bc of how dominating he was.
      1996: RR, WM12, KOTR, Summerslam, Buried Alive match, Survivor Series. Whether he won or lost, he put it all into all these matches. He made Mankind’s career no doubt about it.
      1997: Summerslam 97, HIAC 1 vs HBK.
      1998: RR, WM14, Unforgiven, KOTR, Summerslam.
      1999: KOTR
      2000: KOTR, Unforgiven, Survivor Series
      2001: WM17
      2002: RR bc of his reaction to being eliminated and the beating Maven got bc of it along with Taker’s dominance, WM18
      2003: RR, Vengeance, triple threat with Lesnar and Big Show, the WWE title match the following week against Kurt Angle, handicap match against Show and Lesnar allowing him to choose his opponent, match and where it happens if he won (he chose Vince McMahon at Survivor Series in a Buried Alive match)
      2004: Armageddon Fatal 4 Way
      2005: All the matches against Randy Orton. The rivalry of the year on SD if not entire WWE.
      2006: NWO and the rematch on SD against Kurt Angle for the world championship except for Mark Henry’s interference costing Taker the win in the rematch.
      2007: RR ending with HBK and all the matches against Batista. The rivalry of the year on SD if not entire WWE.
      2008: All the matches against Edge. The rivalry of the year on SD.
      From 2009 to 2013: WM
      2015: the two ppv matches against Lesnar
      2019: with Reigns against McIntyre and Shane at Extreme Rules ppv. Bothers me that he was left off WM35 and the SD on FOX debut episode entirely. For the SD episode he was simply told he “wasn’t needed” lol big mistake there imo.
      2020: WM36
      I’ll always respect appreciate and remember him. The Undertaker has an eternal life in my memory but I’ll always miss him. WWE and the business entirely won’t be the same without him.

    During the mid 90's I was blessed to be one of the local "enhancement talent" guys in the Southern California area. I got to meet Mr. Calaway and be around him a few times during those years. He was always super cool and respectful to me and the other guys. He always treated us like part of the family, like we belonged there. Not all of the superstars were friendly and cool like that, but he always was. And that's something that me and everyone else always appreciated.

As a 67 year old guy I'm not ashamed to say I had tears in my eyes when he laid his jacket and hat down in the ring and exited. Chilling. Also at his HOF induction I didn't want his speech to end. He is as brilliant a speaker as he is an athlete. I wish Mark Calaway the best. He'll always remain my favorite WWE Superstar.

    I’ll try to summarize this as much as possible. I was around 5 or 6 when Undertaker came out in Survivor Series. He scared the Hell out of me. That was saying something because I watched horror movies all the time. But I suffered from Night Terrors, almost nightly, since I was three years old. They were so messed up that even at 40 years old, I remember many of them very vividly. The second he turned face by grabbing the chair from Jake the Snake, I got emotional. Here is this huge behemoth who was beating on my Ultimate Warrior, I was pissed! 😂 Undertaker was almost indestructible at the time, so when he turned face, I got chills up my spine. Yes! This monster is a “Good Guy (face)”. From there he aided me and even a lot of times took over in my night terrors. I would get blasted with guns point blank and my throat slit, all kinds of messed up stuff. So when he appeared in my terrors, I felt safe. He has been the biggest hero of my life since then, because of which, I have started an Undertaker Sleeve on my right arm. Thank you Taker! I hate to see you go. But at the same time I’m very happy for you. You definitely deserve it. Enjoy your family now. RIP!

Paul was the one excited about his indestrucible zombie getting the title, not taker. To me, it made Bearer look like a combination of Dr. Frankenstein meets Dr. West and Taker was the man made monster powered by a source thst the general public couldnt understand.

    Taker, my dad and I would always watch smackdown and cheer for you. It was almost like you were an uncle or something you meant so much to us. So many many classic and really timeless storylines you were involved in. Fantastic Kurt angle matches with you stand out. The story when Kane was found to be still alive. Your voice which resonated into our spirits when you introduced the ministry and took back Paul bearer. Vs Bret Hart. Vs mark Henry. And so many more. You've shown me indirectly how to be consistent and strong and I've taken that into my adult life and into raising children. Although my dad passed away over a decade ago he would've loved to hear all these amazing back stories we never heard. Keep it going! And thank you.

    I am 29 now and I started watching wrestling the day I saw the Undertaker as a very young child on the tv.I was mesmerized by him and as happy as I am he rests now,I will not lie I find it so sad because I know now The Undertaker rests in peace.Thank you so much for the magical years Undertaker you have and always will be my favourite.

    Grew up with this man...my favorite era of the deadman was from his debut up to WrestleMania XIII....the snap up from the steel steps at Survivor Series 1993 with Yokozuna was definitely a woah thats cool moment... Speaking of Yoko..The summer of 1993 when he did his first appear out of nowhere with the lights when he said "take you and your gold and meet me on the darkside" to yoko on WWF Superstars was another moment that sticks out 30 years later.... Producing a corpse of Diesel...locking warrior in a casket...Kamala's face every time the bell tolled...the moment he beat Sid for the title was a great nod to him and his fans...the matches from that era were great as a kid...the 2 casket matches with yoko i still go back and watch, i personally think the match at XII with Diesel was the best match he did from that period of the streak, and i will admit to 14 year old me the much derided taker v faker match was great tv...grey and black undertaker won me at survivor series 1990, purple and black undertaker is where I fell in love and became invested in that character... Aside from that era..i really enjoyed the build up to WrestleMania XXV, it was a blatant nod to that early deadman era...and the match that was delivered by him and HBK that went with it to me is the perfect wrestling match...and since he has broken KAYFABE its been absolutely fascinating to finally get to hear his story from him after all these years... I really hope that he puts out an autobiography... My guess is that it would be as thick as The Stand. #ThankYouTaker

    I have been a fan of wrestling since they were called the WWF, Back when there were 3 channels on the television long before remote controls.

    What Mark Calaway did with The Undertaker and the longevity of that character will never, ever be duplicated. Like the saying goes, you have to give people their roses while they are still here.
    He deserves every bit of the honors, awards, and recognition that he will get now and in the future. We use that word “legend” so often that sometimes it gets watered down a bit. But in every sense of that word, this man is.
    Many congratulations to him on an iconic, illustrious, legendary and now Hall of Fame career. Wishing him much happiness and good times with his family in his retirement.

I went by their house a few times just to visit. Mark and Michelle is just so layed back. I will never forget when Mark stopped by the guard shack to let me know that Mark Henry would be coming in. I told Mark that I will give Mark Henry shit when he comes in. This long black limo pulled up to the gate and the limo driver said they are going to Mark Calaway's house. Mark rolled down his window and I said I need 3 forms of ID. Need your DL, Credit Card and SS. Mark Henry looked like I was crazy. I said that's part of of the policy here. Finally told him, I know who you are. Later on, they came back through my gate. All of em was just laughing their ass off. Mark Henry said you did get me. LOL. Miss seeing the Calaways.
