The Undertaker made his WWE debut at Survivor Series 1990, with Brother Love in his corner. He was a towering figure, one that legitimately frightened all the children watching. However, aside from being what brought The Undertaker to the dance, there isn't really much to write home about his very first gimmick.

'Taker was essentially a zombie mortician who could not feel pain, meaning his matches were generally one-dimensional. It was pretty limiting for the then-fairly green Undertaker. Aside from the nostalgia, this was not exactly the finest few years for him.

While there was some success in the form of a World Title victory over Hulk Hogan one year after his debut and his unique look were welcome in the colorful world of WWF back then, The Undertaker would not have persisted with this character for much longer than he did.

Pairing 'Taker with Paul Bearer was a masterstroke though, laying the foundation for the evolution of this undead zombie. This was a serviceable starting point for The Undertaker. Nothing more, nothing less.
