Today, let's talk about a wrestler who made history like a kick to the teeth (but with more style): The Undertaker. If you're here, you probably already know that this mysterious colossus isn't just any wrestler—he's my favorite wrestler. And for good reason—after all, we're talking about the guy who literally buried the competition... both literally and figuratively!
The Undertaker is the wrestler who enters the ring with a slow, cold walk, and entrance music that sends chills down even the toughest spines. Seriously, who else can turn the arena into a graveyard with just a simple roll of the eyes?
When I was little, I tried to imitate him, but I looked more like I needed a nap than like a master of the dark arts.
He’s the king of the chokeslam and the Tombstone Piledriver, but that’s not all. The Undertaker is also a master of disappearing and reappearing like a ghost. He made his return more often than a TV show reboot, but each time, he looked even more intimidating than ever.
If you know Taker, you know his legendary Streak at WrestleMania. He went 21-0. That’s right. Twenty-one!
At this point, it’s more of a record than a career. It’s like your football team winning the Champions League every year, but with more coffins and fewer yellow cards.
The day he lost to Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 30… Well, let’s not talk too much about it, I still feel like crying.
But let’s be honest: he’s still The Undertaker, the guy who can resurrect at any moment and chokeslam half the arena.
In addition to his physical prowess and charisma, The Undertaker has deeply impacted professional wrestling. He became a true legend, an iconic figure for multiple generations of fans. His immortal grave-digger persona, his loyalty to WWE, and his epic matches made him an unparalleled icon.
Without The Undertaker, wrestling wouldn't have that dark aura, that theatrical side that makes us all hooked. He inspired kids (like me sometimes) to imitate his legendary entrance and challenge their friends in imaginary duels... until mom shouted it was time to put away the chairs and stop tormenting the little brother... Anyway!
Why is he my favorite wrestler? Because The Undertaker is more than an athlete, he’s a living legend. He embodies everything I love about wrestling: the spectacle, the emotion, the unpredictability... and that feeling that at any moment, the greatest of wrestlers might just emerge from the void to deliver a memorable fight.
In short, The Undertaker is proof that even death can take a break when it comes to kicking butt in the ring. Long live the Deadman! (Yes, it's paradoxical, but anything is possible in wrestling, right?)
