#7. Rest in Peace (The Undertaker)

A Phenomenal catchphrase.

If Bret Hart was the embodiment of raw professional wrestling, the Undertaker personifies the sensationalist world of Sports Entertainment like no other.

In actual fact, it is really quite incredible how the Deadman has managed to stay relevant all these years, beginning life in the cartoonish Hogan Era and maintaining the core of his gimmick through four separate and very different eras since then.

With all the slight variations of the Undertaker gimmick we have seen over the years, however, one thing has been a constant. Mark Calloway's character is the ultimate Badass both from a Kayfabe perspective and behind the scenes.

The man must be taken seriously as a genuine threat to any Superstar who has ever laced up a pair of boots.

'Rest in Peace' works on so many different levels when you really think about it. It fits in perfectly with the bizarre nature of the gimmick, which began life as a creepy, zombie-like Undertaker ready to put bodies in the ground.

It also works from a more serious context as you can truly believe Taker to be a genuine threat to your wellbeing if you ever found yourself on his bad side.

And perhaps more importantly, it is a gimmick people of all ages like to repeat. You hear children of 5 and under shouting it along with grown men in their 20s and 30s. It is universally popular, just like the Phenom that made it famous.
