Lil Peep vs. Undertaker - WWE 2K19 - Hardcore Fighters 💯

The Undertaker, is an American retired professional wrestler. Widely regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time, he is best known for his on-screen career in WWE from 1990 to 2020 under The Undertaker gimmick. Although retired from professional wrestling, Calaway is still signed to WWE.

Calaway began his career in 1987, working under various gimmicks for World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW) and other affiliate promotions. He became USWA Unified World Heavyweight Champion and WCWA Texas Heavyweight Champion during this time. After signing with World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in 1989, he had a brief stint in the mid-card as "Mean" Mark Callous, before joining the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) in 1990.

Calaway was rebranded as "The Undertaker" once joining the WWF. In this horror-themed form, he gained significant mainstream popularity as an undead, funereal, macabre character. A textbook example of WWE's Golden Age of freakish gimmicks, The Undertaker was intent on demoralizing opponents while feuding with and combating them, done through theatrically chilling entrances, engaging of caskets and corpse-like effigies, funeral tolling, and other forms of alarmism. The longest-tenured wrestler in company history at 30 years, The Undertaker is one of the most prominent figures of the Attitude Era–a high ratings, envelope-pushing generation of the WWF/E in the latter 1990s. Desiring to perform under a gimmick truer to himself, Calaway transitioned The Undertaker into a biker gimmick in the early 2000s, before resurrecting his horror gimmick in 2004 with residual elements of his biker identity blended.

For the better part of his career, The Undertaker was observed as a focal point of WWE's flagship annual event, WrestleMania, where he became esteemed for The Streak—a series of 21 straight victories. He is also known for pairing with his in-storyline half-brother Kane, with whom he had alternatively feuded and teamed off and on with as The Brothers of Destruction from 1997 through 2020. During his active career under The Undertaker gimmick, Calaway won the WWF/E Championship four times, the World Heavyweight Championship three times, the Hardcore Championship once and the World Tag Team Championship six times. He also won the Royal Rumble match in 2007. He is one of WWE's most prolific pay-per-view performers, headlining several pay-per-view events, including WrestleMania on five occasions.

The Undertaker retired from professional wrestling in 2020 and made a farewell appearance at that year's Survivor Series event, 30 years to the day after he made his debut for the company at the same pay-per-view brand.
