Mark ‘The Undertaker’ Callaway celebrates his 52nd birthday today.

The WWE legend who has been in the WWE for over 25 years has held the WWE title on seven different occasions. But it is his incredible performances at Wrestlemania that is the most important aspect to his legacy. Having been in 24 Wrestlemania matches, the Deadman has won all but one of them, building up a 21-0 streak in the process.

His victims include the likes of Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Batista, Psycho Sid, Jimmy Snuka and CM Punk.

Callaway’s persona of the Deadman might be the most over gimmicks in WWE history next to Hulkamania. He would also switch to a bike rider persona during the middle of his WWE run – dubbed the ‘American Badass’, which would also prove to be quite popular.

Taker is married to former WWE Diva Michelle McCool.
