Hello again everyone,
Welcome to a special look at The Undertaker from my point of view. In this blog will feature a few of my thoughts and memories watching this once in a lifetime man/character...
What a lot of people may not remember or know is that before becoming The Undertaker, Mark Calaway was in WCW. He went under the name of 'Mean' Mark Callous. In my opinion his biggest match was when he was managed by Paul Heyman. 'Mean' Mark challenged Lex Luger for the NWA United States Heavyweight Championship at the Great American Bash 1990 (Click Here For That Event).
From there the next thing I remember he (Mark Calaway) was being introduced by Ted Dibiase as his mystery partner in the at the 4th annual WWF Survivor Series (Click Here For That Event). He would look dominate taking out his opponents and no selling their moves or move sets. While undefeated over the course of the year The Undertaker would challenge Hulk Hogan for the then WWF Heavyweight Championship. This match would end in controversy at the 1991 Survivor Series (Click Here For That Event). Ric Flair would slide a chair into the ring The Undertaker would 'Tombstone' Hulk Hogan on it and become the NEW then WWF Champion plus the youngest champion ever at that time. The then WWF would hold an event the following Tuesday called 'This Tuesday in Texas' (Click Here For That Event). Hulk Hogan would go on to defeat The Undertaker to regain the then WWF Heavyweight Championship.
Next up WrestleMania IX (Click Here For That Event) earlier in the year a GIANT would debut and target The Undertaker his name was the 'Giant Gonzalez'. They would feud over the course of three months leading to their match at WrestleMania. While the match wasn't the best The Undertaker won yet another WrestleMania match.
Following the feud with the GIANT The Undertaker would lose a casket match to Yokozuna. He was gone for a period of time and in his absence Ted Dibiase brought in 'The UnderFaker' which was an imposter (Click Here For Brian Lee). Months went on as this imposter would mimic alot of the real Undertaker . This culminated with a match at SummerSlam 1994 where it would be The Undertaker returning to face off with 'The UnderFaker' (Click Here For That Event). The Undertaker would go on to win that match & 'The UnderFaker' was never heard from again.
Fast forward to WrestleMania XIII (Click Here For That Event). The Undertaker in the main event would defeat Sycho Sid to become the NEW then WWF Champion (2nd Reign). In the time that The Undertaker was champion his former manager Paul Bearer would bring in Kane. Kane the long lost brother of The Undertaker who was thought to be dead after a fire at the family house. Months had passed by while Taker was still champion and Kane looking over his head. Along came Bret Hart as the NEW contender for the title. This leading to SummerSlam 1997 'Hart & Soul' (Click Here For That Event). Shawn Michaels per Vince McMahon would name HBK the special referee. HBK nails Taker with the chair intended for Bret & has no choice but to count 3 making Bret the NEW & 5 time then WWF Champion. That would begin the feud with HBK. This rivalry became so personal that a new match was created to settle this war. The next event would be named 'Bad Blood' In Your House (Click Here For That Event). For the 1st time ever HBK & Taker would be locked in what's called Hell In A Cell. A steel cage that takes over the entire ringside area and has a closed top so no one, no one out...so you would think. As taker was about to put away HBK the FIRE hits and out comes Kane. Kane rips the door off the hinges and stands face to face with Taker. From there he would kick Taker and nail him with his own Tombstone. HBK crawls over and gets the win. This would begin the blood feud between the 2 brothers.
That is it for part one. Stay tuned and look out for part 2 right here.

Welcome to the WrestleMania XXXIII (33) blog in this edition all the matches & my predictions for tomorrow night's LIVE special event...
WWE presents it's BIGGEST show of the year WrestleMania with 13 epic matches as we go on the Ultimate Thrill Ride....
WWE WrestleMania Kickoff Show (5pm EST)
WWE Cruiserweight Title Match #205LIVE
(C) Neville
vs
Austin Aries
Prediction: To early for a title change here. The chase will make Austin look so much better. Neville will retain here.
Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal
Featuring 30 WWE Superstars From Raw, Smackdown LIVE & NXT
Prediction: 30 men in this battle but with all the momentum Braun has hard to bet against him.
WWE WrestleMania XXXIII (33)
ONLY On The WWE Network
vs
Prediction: This could be a show stealer both men have amazing talent & can tell a great story. With that said AJ will tell a great story & win this match.
vs
Prediction: This Total Bellas match seems easy to call. With Cena leaving for American Grit 2, Nikki has more neck issues and impending retirement. The Cena/Bella couple should win & don't be surprised if there is a proposal. Could they be the modern day Macho Man/Elizabeth?
Non-Sanctioned Match
Triple H
vs
Seth Rollins
Prediction: This will be an intense but very telling match. Expect Samoa Joe to be involved in some way to build Seth's next feud. Seth after a long hard battle will stand tall.
Smackdown LIVE Women's Title 6 Pack Challenge
(C) Alexa Bilss vs Mickie James vs Carmella vs Natalya vs Becky Lynch vs Naomi
Prediction: With the previous prediction of Asuka losing the title at NXT Takeover Orlando. This match is open to all available women. Hard to call this match but of all the 6 women my choice would be Naomi.
Raw Tag Team Title Triple Threat Ladder Match
(C) Luke Gallows/Karl Anderson vs Enzo/Big Cass vs Sheamus/Cesaro
Prediction: Hard to see the titles changing hands here with the ladders just added this week.
WWE Intercontinental Title Match
(C) Dean Ambrose
vs
Baron Corbin
Prediction: Baron is on the rise & don't see why he won't become the NEW Intercontinental champion.
WWE United States Title Match
(C) Chris Jericho
vs
Kevin Owens
Prediction: What a rivalry this has been & story told to perfection. With Jericho leaving to tour with his band Fozzy Owens should win the title. If Chris returns later on 2017 it will be another great story.
Raw Women's Title Fatal 4 Way Elimination Match
(C) Bayley vs Charlotte vs Sasha Banks vs Nia Jax
Prediction: To early to put it on Nia, Bayley is early in the tiel reign, Charlotte looking for her 5th title & Sasha teased she might do something heelish. All that said going upset with Nia winning I might be wrong but WrestleMania is time for change.
WWE Title Match
(C) Bray Wyatt
vs
Prediction: With the build of Bray & sister Abigal Randy is in for a tough night. The mind games have been played very well by both. Harper saw something this past Tuesday that cause his to lose his match to Bray. Bray should prevail & Randy chasing but don't forget AJ is owed his rematch. A lot can happen here. Bray retains.
WWE Universal Title Match
(C) Goldberg
vs
Prediction: Goldberg has had his way with Brock over the last few months dating back to November in Toronto. This shouldn't last long & look for Brock to leave as the NEW Universal champion.
MY OPINION
With Jim Ross signing a NEW deal with the WWE he will be calling the previous match & the following match...
Roman Reigns
vs
The Undertaker
Prediction: With Jim Ross calling this match it seems that is the curtain call for The Undertaker. With that said Roman will be boo'd out of the stadium but Taker will win but Roman plays a heel or turns heel.
What a night it is going to be tomorrow night. Tune in after the event for all the results point by point plus quick results.
