The 7 sins of The Undertaker

#3 Pride: Killing kayfabe

At the peak of his popularity, The Undertaker broke character

The Undertaker’s mystique and aura, have guaranteed his well-deserved longevity in the world of sports entertainment. But in the year 2000, The Undertaker would undergo a transformation, and come out to the haunting sounds of- um, Limp Bizkit?

Yep, the biker theme killed whatever charisma The Undertaker was known for, and it did not help, that The Dead Man was fat and out of shape during this run. Fans on the internet, and in the arenas clamoured for a return to form...and those who stuck around for the ride were rewarded by a return of The Dead Man.
