3 legendary Wrestlemania matches of The Undertaker
Mark William Callaway, better known by his ring name “The Undertaker” has been one of the greatest fighters to adorn the stage. Undertaker started his wrestling career as early as 1984. Prior to joining the WWE, he enjoyed a brief stint at the World Championship Wrestling with a mid-card name “Mean Mark”.
Nicknamed as “The Phenom”, The Undertaker has been a phenomenal performer at the WWE. With a career spanning almost thirty years, The Undertaker has defeated almost all the big names of the past and the present era. Starting with his legendary half-brother Kane, Ric Flair, Edge, Kurt Angle and ending with Shawn Michaels, and Triple H; The Undertaker had gone undefeated in 21 Wrestlemanias at a stretch. This stretch of victory is known as ‘The Streak’. Without further ado, let us take a look at 3 of The Undertaker's most legendary matches at Wrestlemania.
3. Undertaker vs. Kane: Wrestlemania 14
The start of the rivalry dates back to a match with Undertaker and Shawn Michaels in a Hell in a cell match. During this match, Undertaker’s half-brother Kane debuted and gave Undertaker a tombstone pile driver, Undertaker’s own finishing move! However, The Undertaker refused to fight his half-brother. It was only after Kane locked The Undertaker in a coffin and set it on fire did The “Lord of Darkness” accept the offer. The tension went on for two months before they faced off at Wrestlemania 14.
The match went on to be a legendary one, a fight between two “larger than life” figures in The “Attitude era”. They had a long unresolved history with each other and the stage had been set up for vengeance. It took Undertaker three tombstones to beat the megalomaniac Kane. At the time of the fight, no fighter has ever survived more than one tombstone in a match against Undertaker. The fact that Kane did take three makes him a superhuman figure in the game.
