 Undertaker, Deadman |
1990-1994
The first time you ever seen or heard of The Undertaker was on November 22, 1990 at Survivor Series 1990 as the mystery partner of Ted DiBiase's Million Dollar team. About one minute into the match, Undertaker eliminated Koko B. Ware with his finisher, called the Tombstone Piledriver. After Survivor Series, Calaway was called Kane the Undertaker at several shows until "Kane" was dropped from his name, and he reverted back to simply "The Undertaker." (Kane later became the name for the Undertaker's kayfabe half-brother.) The appearance of Undertaker was modeled after a mortician from old Western movies, with the character being supposedly impervious to pain and possessing supernatural powers, such as teleportation and manipulation of flames and lightning. It was at this time that the Undertaker switched managers from Brother Love to Paul Bearer.
In 1991, the Undertaker's popularity grew rapidly. He made his WrestleMania debut at WrestleMania VII, squashing WWE Hall of Famer "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka. After a year of B-main events with Ultimate Warrior in body bag matches, Randy Savage, and Hulk Hogan, he defeated Hogan at Survivor Series 1991 to win his first WWF Championship. However, due to interference from Ric Flair during the match, WWF President Jack Tunney ordered a rematch for Tuesday in Texas six days later, where Undertaker lost the title back to Hogan. Between December 1991 and September 1993, the Undertaker did not lose a single match, the longest winning streak of the '90s.
Early in 1992, he had a falling out with ally Jake "The Snake" Roberts. After Roberts lost a match on Saturday Night's Main Event to Randy Savage, Roberts tried to attack Savage's manager/wife Miss Elizabeth with a steel chair. Undertaker stopped Roberts, thus turning face. He went on to defeat Roberts at WrestleMania VIII. He feuded extensively with wrestlers managed by Harvey Wippleman throughout 1992 and 1993, most notably Kamala, whom he faced and defeated in the first televised casket match in WWF history at Survivor Series 1992, and Giant Gonzales, whom he defeated by disqualification at WrestleMania IX and by pinfall at SummerSlam 1993.
In January 1994, he challenged then-WWF Champion Yokozuna, facing him in two casket matches at the 1994 Royal Rumble and Survivor Series 1994, where Chuck Norris was special guest enforcer. At the Royal Rumble, Yokozuna sealed Undertaker in the casket with the assistance of several other heel wrestlers, winning the match. The Undertaker's "spirit" appeared from inside the casket on the video screen, warning that he would return. This began Undertaker's first hiatus. In reality, he had a back injury that was getting worse, and he needed time off. An Undertaker "clone", dubbed "Underfaker" by the fans, appeared after WrestleMania X, played by Brian Lee and led by Ted DiBiase. This led to the resurrection of the real Undertaker and a battle at SummerSlam 1994 between the two, where the real Undertaker was victorious.
