Survivor Series 1990 has gone down in professional wrestling history as one of the most significant events to ever hit the airwaves. Just before the bout between The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiases Million Dollar Team and Dusty Rhodes Dream Team got underway the former group had one last member to introduce. The sound of a sinister pipe organ flooded the arena as fans kept a close eye on the tunnel where Brother Love followed a massive figure to the ring. The commentary team was in disbelief and a hush fell over the crowd.
In the decades that followed, the Undertaker would become a staple of the WWE earning a reputation as the measuring stick of what a wrestler should be. He would win numerous championships engage in classic matches and rivalries, evolve his on screen persona and most of all leave an impression on the fans that will never disappear. Despite his retirement in 2020 after his WrestleMania 36 Boneyard Match against AJ Styles and subsequent WWE Hall of Fame induction in 2022 his shadow still looms large over the company that he spent years atop.
Given how long the Undertaker spent as an active member of the WWE roster and how hard he worked to stay out of the public eye some interesting facts about the Deadman and the person behind him Mark Calaway tend to slip by the wayside. Here are some of those facts that you likely never knew or may have forgotten about over time.
