This solidified Taker's strength. I always wanted Taker with the ABA gimmick to last ride Big Show or at least Tombstone him but Mark was the next best thing. Even with the hands assist from Mark, Taker throwing him in the air and balancing himself properly to land with him is a feat no one can deny as anything less than amazing.

The tombstone on Mark was definitely insane! I think the three tombstones he gave Kane at Wrestlemania 14 were insane too considering the fact that Kane was a legit 315/320 lbs at that time and Taker had to pick him up three separate times in the same match!

It's amazing how the ridiculous Undertaker character did not die after a year, even a few months. But after learning his story about breaking into WWF it makes sense how he made it work. He made it as legit as possible. Undertaker is the best character because of the Mark Callaway.

I remember it and it was such an OMG moment. He was in the ring with Kurt Angle delivering a chokeslam on Henry.Angle nodded like ”not bad,but you need more to defeat me”.So taker did the slit throat,preparing to show what he really is capable of. Angle,like all of us,was like ”never”. But he did,lifted Henry up and delivered a jawdroping Tombstone Piledriver leaving everyone speechless.

The most memorable is when Shawn Micheals did a summersault off the Top Ropes and Taker caught him in the air. Beat Match ever and easily the best Wrestlemaina match ever.

For me it will always be the super Tombstone to finally put away Shawn Michaels. Though the feat of strength to do that to Mark Henry was impressive.

I always thought Undertaker delivering a tombstone to Vader was an unbelievable display of strength due to him being not only much bigger than Mark Henry but weighing more than him at 460 plus pounds, I remember he just picked up him with such ease that it made me and my friend's jaws dropped. To even pick up Mark Henry is a challenge because he's equally large but I was super impressed with how Undertaker did it. Undertaker's strength doesn't get talked about as much as someone like Kane or Brock Lesnar but I would definitely put him up there with those guys in terms of being physically strong

I would agree that the tombstone piledriver to Mark Henry is the most memorable. To be able to lift a bloke who is 400+ lbs in weight and drop him upside down on his head without hurting him is a real impressive feat.

There’s no one better than the undertaker

For most guys being able to make eye contact for 5 seconds with someone like Mark Henry would be their most memorable moment. Taker takes it to a whole new level by tombstoning a guy like that.

When i first saw Undertaker come on the scene, he gave me nightmares like the first time i saw DarthVader. Now i feel i grew up with him. Love him

Have to agree that the mark henry tombstone was pretty epic and probably my 1st choice too, but it was close as i loved the moment where the fake undertaker had him in the tombstone and the real undertaker flipped it around into one of his own it was such a cool move and something that was not often seen from him which was a kin to catch wrestling. God knows how long ago that was but just shows how memorable it was for me at the time.

Summerslam 1994! Watching video of that match a few years later was the first time I saw that Tombstone-into-Tombstone reversal. And the real Taker finished it with a jumping Tombstone too, which was even more cool - I'm not sure I ever saw him do it again until the one that finished Shawn Michaels at WM 26.

Have to agree with Taker on that one. The first time I saw him lifted Mark and tombstone him was one of those OMG moment. I'm like what the.... he did not!!!

For a moment I thought he was going to say Kane giving one to him. That might be from a business point of view, but in terms of him actually getting his arms around Mark's sheer sweaty bulk and holding on to him that would make more sense from a personal point of view.

So good

i love this guy. i put him with jordan and iverson just had so much impact

People forget but on elimination chamber he suplexed big show from the top rope. He was a behemoth from 2003 to 2010

I love this man

Undertaker is my favorite wrestler of all time. I even dressed like him in 1990 and wrestled in a backyard wrestling match. i was 15 then.

The best too do it 💯💯

Taker actually tombstoned Henry twice! On Smackdown, with kurt angle in the Ring, and at WM22 after a "Last Ride" (kinda) His strength back then was scary! Well... he's the undertaker

Undertaker is so easy going and humble a sheer surprise to me.

I love you, Taker 🥰

Agreed, that tombstone in Mark was insane. I thought it was a decent match as well.

Good to see mark enjoying life still alive and healthy enough to enjoy life

Got big Vader up for the tombstone, an rakishi (as sultan) with ease. But at the time the tombstone powerdriver on Mark Henry was one awesome sight to behold.

Last Ride has always been my favorite

Everyone look up Ray Williams, he's a powerlifter/bodybuilder & looks & sounds like Mark Henry! I'd love to see him in the WWE or AEW!

I was surprised too when he got mark. Mark is really big and heavy too

Undertaker the white snoop dogg with that bandana and hat 😂😂

I love you from my heart

Even my dad couldn't believe it

I thought he would say Vader because he was heavier than Mark Henry, but given that Vader was far more athletic, perhaps it was easier to Tombstone Vader than it was to Tombstone Mark Henry.

Michael Hayes most likely was not there and in WCW since it was late 1990 when they thought up the name of Tombstone Piledriver.

I always thought taker was going to chokeslam him only, because he normally wins with a chokeslam on guys that big, but I was amaze he won with a tombstone.

The Tombstone had been around long before Taker, Andre the Giant used to do it. I think it might've actually even been called the Tombstone also. I thought he used it BECAUSE it was already called that.

Mark Henry helped him. But even so, holding a 400 pound man upside down in the air and gently lowering him down requires a ridiculous amount of brute strength.

The Tombstone should have been protected to the end. With the exception of Taker and Kane, no one should have been allowed to kick out of it. The one other exception is MAYBE Shawn in the retirement match just to add a bit more drama. Considering the stakes, a last ditch, desperate kickout, just enough to get the shoulder up. Otherwise, the Tombstone should have been a guaranteed pin.

First time I heard the name was when he did it at his first survivor series. Gorilla monsoon mentioned it

His tombstone to Vader

My memory is bad so maybe I'm wrong however I remember Taker delivering a tombstone piledriver to Vader too and still, maybe I'm wrong but Vader seem even bigger than M.Henry or am I wrong?

The first person I ever heard say the tombstone piledriver was gorilla monsoon on television. But that doesn't necessarily mean he coined the phrase.

I might be wrong but didn't they have a move called the tombstone before like In Japan? Also go back to 2006, Henry was huge

he tombstoned kane 3 times

Some guys found the secret sauce. The Undertaker was/is one of the best!

You searched for the video of the undertaker tomb-stoning mark henry after watching this didn’t you?
