I was one of those kids who used to visit grandma's village during summers and all the neighbourhood kids in the village knew who the Undertaker was. We used to debate who's the most scariest among Taker and Kane(masked and huge at the time)! This was in the year 1999-2000 around that time btw.

My son was 12 at the time and we were at the Nashville Airport and Mark was in character at the gate. He must have looked so huge to my boy, but I encouraged him to go and ask for an autograph. He begged me to do it, and I told him if you want something you have to work for it. We grabbed a cocktail napkin and I gave my son my pen. Meekly, he walked over to this huge scary guy and held out the pen and the napkin and said . 'Sir, can I..." Mark grabbed the pen and grunted and signed without hesitation. He never broke out of character. That was exactly what my son expected - what a memory.

That's how they got Hulk Hogan, Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, Bret Hart, etc. But they rarely knew how to incubate new talent. The one exception might be Goldberg. Conversely, WWE was much better (at the time) of seeing potential talent and allowing it to thrive.

After all these years, the undertaker being revealed to be good dude is one of those rare, brief “ok, I can be at peace with the world” things. For kids in the 90s, it’s difficult to overstate the unbelievable intimidation and otherworldly, larger than life spectacle that was the undertaker. We were the last generation to witness that before the curtain call and Montreal opened up the business. Taker is one of those guys who SHOULD be a prick with all that he’s accomplished but still manages to be just a normal dude from Texas. That’s an unbelievable feat in the world of wrestling…almost unprecedented…

The reason the character worked so well wasn’t just because he kept character. Anyone could’ve been Undertaker and kept character and it would never work. It was because in the ring, the stuff he done was outrageous. Tall and strong as hell but scary fast but was also slow and maniacal. He was capable of walking the ropes and jumping over them with ease.

The winners and storylines are predetermined, but the moves are actually happening, hence all of the injuries. Hogan has rods in his spine, Austin and Lita have bad necks, then there are the concussion issues. A lot of the old timers stay dependant on pain killers for the rest of their lives.

Lights fade to black......audience Cheers. A long pause and hush falls over the crowd. BUNG...........BUNG....... every hair in the stadium is standing on end. Best. Intro. Ever. So simple. So powerful.

So Taker is one of my all time favourite wrestlers and it is great to see and hear that he is also actually a great guy who is hugely loved and respected by his peers, man never really did any interviews during his career to maintain the integrity of his character so since retirement it's been great watching and hearing him talk.
