Undertaker 3rd Greatest Wrestler Of All Time - UGO

UGO have listed what they think are the 50 greatest wrestlers of all time. Now before you go off on one, remember this is just the opinion of a few individuals, who’s criteria can only be described as random.

Of all the wrestlers on this list, none have had the tenacity and determination of Mark Callaway, the man we know as the Undertaker. One of only two wrestlers to appear on the first episode of Raw that is still with the company, the Deadman has dominated the ring for more than two decades and shows no sign of slowing down.

After debuting in 1990, he won the Heavyweight Championship from Hulk Hogan at Survivor Series. He also started his undefeated WrestleMania streak, which stands at an unbelievable 16-0 record. It’s impossible to recap all of his famous feuds, but we have to call special attention to his face-turning battle with Jake Roberts, his tenure as leader of the Ministry of Darkness, and his 2000 return from injury as the “American Bad Ass.”

Taker has always tried to mix up his arsenal, introducing new moves into his routine every few years, including his brutal new submission, the Gogolplata. Last seen chokeslamming Edge straight to Hell, we have no doubt that the Undertaker will always be there when we need him.

No Mercy Preview

Two colossal Superstars, Big Show and Undertaker, will square off at No Mercy, and the fate of SmackDown may very well lay in the wake of their epic battle.

After being reinstated by SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero – the same person who helped banish him from WWE in the first place – Undertaker returned to SmackDown with an irrepressible thirst for vengeance. He refused Guerrero’s pleas for forgiveness, making the dreadful proclamation that he would take her soul and send her to Hell at Unforgiven.

But, when the moment of wrecking arrived, the emerging Deadman was suddenly ambushed by Big Show. The World’s Largest Athlete formed an alliance with Guerrero, adding a mountain of power to her office, and making the annihilation of The Phenom his first order of business on his way to the WWE Championship.

Big Show has promised that if Undertaker is not sorry now for all he’s done to Guerrero, he will be. But, The Deadman has shown time and time again that he is not the forgiving kind – and with every passing day his anger grows as large as his opponent’s mighty fists.

Will Big Show bury Undertaker’s plans for revenge? Or will he become the largest occupant in Hell?

Find out which titan will have their way at No Mercy, live Sunday, Oct. 5, only on pay-per-view.

News on Taker's Knee

“Honestly, he looked pretty bad off,” the fan in attendance said. “He was sitting there like he was so exhausted he couldn’t make it up the ramp. He finally walked up the ramp, but he was limping pretty badly. It wasn’t a little limp, it was very noticeable.”
