He is the most important sports entertainer in all of professional wrestling. Many say he's the greatest of all-time, some say he's the greatest mind in the history of the business. Regardless what you say of The Undertaker, he's undoubtedly headed to the WWE Hall of Fame.
We often hear stories of how The Undertaker is constantly teaching and encouraging up and coming talent, giving them valuable knowledge, which cannot be found in any book, or any training class. He's been in the business now for nearly three decades and still pulls off the occasional legendary performance.

His title wins are too many to mention, considering how long he's been in the industry. However, in the WWE alone, he's won the WWE Championship four times, the World Heavyweight Championship three times, he's been a six-time tag team champion and even held the Hardcore title once.
One of his greatest feats was the Wrestlemania streak, which ended at the hands of Brock Lesnar, but prior to Lesnar’s victory at Wrestlemania 30, Taker had defeated 21 Wrestlemania opponents in a row.

There are many reasons why The Undertaker is a Hall of Fame lock. But, the most important, has been the way he has maintained his mysterious and distinct persona that has made him such a great Superstar that we have come to know as The Undertaker.
Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
