It seems like The Undertaker has retired from WWE, but he has not ruled out the possibility that he will return for one more match. This fact, coupled with his recent 15-year deal with the company, still makes him a WWE Superstar today. Undertaker is also one of the original 'Paul Heyman guys' from his pre-WWE days.

Over three decades ago, 'Taker was a young up-and-comer in WCW, known as Mean Mark Callous, looking to make it big in the wrestling business. He was managed by a young Paul Heyman, then known as Paul E Dangerously.

But Heyman did more for the WWE legend than simply manage him on TV. The 'Advocate' played a pivotal part in Undertaker's move from WCW to WWF. He opened up talks with Bruce Prichard about signing The Deadman, who was told that he "wasn't a draw" in WCW.

'Taker moved to WWF in 1990, giving rise to the most memorable character in wrestling history. Since then, he has become Vince McMahon's most loyal soldier, dedicating his life to the wrestling industry. The Undertaker is one of the greatest WWE Superstars of all time, and we have Paul Heyman to thank for it.

Isn't it poetic that The Undertaker's WrestleMania streak was ended by, well, a 'Paul Heyman guy'? The two of them were more linked with each other than one might realize.
