It's pretty common when the WWE is building up some young talent that they compare them to an established name or a legend of the professional wrestling industry. You can almost hear the annoying voice of Michael Cole proclaiming someone to be the next John Cena.
To be fair to the WWE, though, a lot of WWE superstars can indeed be replaced by younger versions of themselves. After all, isn't that what the company has been trying to do by having Roman Reigns geared up as Cena's replacement for the years ahead?
But, no matter which other superstars can be replaced, there can never be someone who can live up to the legacy of The Undertaker. So, without any further ado, here is our list of five reasons why there will never be another Undertaker:
#5 He was a big man who could do it all in the ring
Most big men in the professional wrestling business tend to use their size and little else. Not, The Undertaker, though. Don't get me wrong, he certainly knew how to use his size, but that was just one weapon in his arsenal.
He was a very gifted wrestler technically and even showed off some impressive athleticism on a number of occasions. But, his greatest strength was his striking ability which earned him the status of The Best Striker in Wrestling.
#4 He didn't need titles to fuel his success
It's an unwritten rule of professional wrestling. In order to be considered great, you need to win championships. You rarely have legendary wrestlers who haven't won a number of World Championships. If you don't win a huge number of titles, you just aren't that good.
Not for The Undertaker, though. "The Deadman" did win his fair share of World Titles but he was never up there with the Ric Flairs, John Cenas, and Triple Hs of the industry. He just didn't need them to feel like a big deal.
#3 His longevity
The Undertaker made his WWE debut on camera at Survivor Series way back in 1990, where he eliminated two future WWE Hall of Famers, Koko B. Ware and Dusty Rhodes.
He wrestled his apparently final match at Wrestlemania 33 in 2017. That's a 27-year career that has been filled with nothing but awesome success. It has always seemed like every time he was done, he came back for one more match.
How does anyone ever replicate that? Especially considering the magnitude of his matches and how good they were on a consistent basis. The answer? No one replicates that.
#2 He pulled off a ridiculous gimmick
If Vince McMahon had told anyone else except Mark Calaway to play the role of an undead zombie mortician, the gimmick and the wrestler's career would have been dead on arrival.
Instead, in the hands of the man who would become the legendary Deadman, it is the most iconic character in the history of the entire wrestling industry.
#1 The Streak
What can I say about The Streak that hasn't already been said before? There will never be anything like it ever again in wrestling and nor should there, in my opinion. It is also a testament to The Undertaker's status as a man of the industry that he was willing to give it up to Brock Lesnar.
There is no way anyone does anything as impressive in professional wrestling ever again.
