The Undertaker said he wanted to perform a more athletic style during the early stages of his career, especially as it would have looked impressive for a guy of his size, but he adopted a “less is more” attitude and learned to put his ego to one side after realising that he offered something completely different to the rest of the WWE roster.

#9 He was nervous about changing his gimmick

In 2000, The Undertaker returned to WWE after a lengthy absence due to groin and pectoral injuries. He made his long-awaited comeback at Judgment Day, where he took out Vince McMahon, Triple H and the rest of D-Generation X in the closing minutes of the pay-per-view.

'Taker said he felt very nervous about the reaction he would receive when he rode down to the ring at Judgment Day to debut his biker gimmick.

#10 Why he never wanted to leave WWE for WCW

He went on to admit that WWE produced some “lame stuff” in the mid-1990s when WCW began to beat them in the television ratings, but he never considered jumping ship because he wanted to stay loyal to the person who gave him his first big opportunity in the wrestling business, Vince McMahon.

He also never forgot the comment that Ole Anderson made to him in WCW about fans not paying to see him wrestle.
