The Undertaker is one of the most prominent wrestlers in WWE and despite having retired from the world of professional wrestling, he’s still someone who’s highly respected by athletes throughout the world. He’s been associated with the company for many years at this point, and over the years, he’s had several gimmicks that he adopted as his persona. Although most of his gimmicks were dark and brooding, they were always fun to watch and sent a chill down the spine of every fan on a global level.
This is probably one of the most short-lived gimmicks in the world of professional wrestling. During this gimmick, Taker aligned himself with Ric Flair and Evolution, and would do anything to win, including cheat during matches. While the gimmick itself was very brief, it yielded some beautiful matches and very intriguing storylines.
Being associated with Ric Flair gave a new angle to his character, but didn’t take away anything from him. In terms of popularity and duration, The Deadman gimmick has been Undertaker’s longest running gimmick in and his most mesmerizing one so far. The entrance theme was eerie and very creepy which added a different aura to his already mysterious personality.
Given how well it was designed, it’s no surprise that this was the most popular gimmick of his. Unlike the rest of his gimmicks in the WWE, The American Badass was something that wasn’t dark at all. Instead it was replaced by a bike riding, aggressive persona who could beat the living.
