Me and Kevin are like brothers and evil in matches in all types of ways,if you wrestling fans know how,and why we look alike you can write it here.
About Kevin:
Thorn wrestled as Seven in Memphis Championship Wrestling and some other independent promotions. He won the MCW Southern Heavyweight Championship on July 7, 2001.
In April 2002, Thorn signed a developmental deal with World Wrestling Entertainment and was assigned to their development territory Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW), where he continued to use the Seven gimmick. In OVW, he joined the Disciples of Synn stable, and along with stable-mate Travis Bane won the OVW Southern Tag Team Championship in March 2003,though they were forced to vacate the title a month later when Bane was injured.In late April 2004, Thorn was called up to the SmackDown! brand with vignettes playing on the show announcing his new gimmick, Mordecai, a religious Zealot-type character. During numerous promos Mordecai claimed he saw nothing but sin everywhere he went, and God had chosen him to rid the world of it. He constantly wore white and had blonde hair and a beard as a sign of his purity. Thorn debuted in ring for the SmackDown! brand on May 16, 2004 during the Judgment Day pay-per-view, defeating Scotty 2 Hotty.In later appearances, Thorn condemned the audience to hell, and often carried a crucifix with him everywhere he went; he was also known to pray before his matches. In one interview, he even said that then WWE Champion Eddie Guerrero would pay for his sins. Although this implied a rise to main event status to face Guerrero, the gimmick was dropped in July and Thorn was sent back to OVW. Thorn returned to OVW, wrestling under a mask as Vengeance, before reverting to the name Seven. He also continued to use the Thorn name while working in Memphis Wrestling, where he won the Southern Title in March 2005. He was then soon released in July of that same year.In 2006, Thorn returned and joined WWE's ECW brand with a vampire gimmick, originally appearing on the debut of ECW on Sci Fi; he first made appearances standing outside of arenas, looking into the camera, spitting blood, and hissing. The idea was that Thorn was planting the seeds for the long rumored 'vampire faction' with Gangrel and Ariel, although the angle with Ariel was kept and the plans for Gangrel were dropped due to his ongoing weight problems. He then began appearing in vignettes with Ariel, the tarot card reader, spitting blood at the camera while she "predicted the future of ECW".Thorn had his (television) in-ring debut on the July 25 ECW on Sci Fi, defeating Little Guido Maritato. During his debut, Ariel acted as his valet. The next week, in another vignette, Ariel revealed his name to be Kevin Thorn.From there, Ariel increased her presence at ringside, often taking time out of the match to climb onto the apron or under the bottom rope to kiss Thorn while he continued to beat his opponents. In September, Thorn began a feud with Balls Mahoney; after Ariel started to help Thorn win their matches, Mahoney began bringing in Francine as an equalizer. The two teams clashed over the next two weeks, until Francine was released by WWE. As Ariel began to have heat with Kelly Kelly, Thorn became caught up in the feud and at December to Dismember, Thorn and Ariel defeated Kelly and Mike Knox after Knox walked out on Kelly. After that, he became a member of the New Breed stable and took part in their feud with the ECW Originals.CM Punk eventually joined the New Breed after weeks of recruiting. Just two weeks later, however, Punk betrayed the New Breed attacking Elijah Burke after a match. On the May 1, edition of ECW on Sci Fi, Thorn quit the New Breed due to lack of interference during his match with Punk. On the May 8, edition of ECW, after interrupting Ariel's tarot card reading Thorn stated "My future was never the New Breed, and my future is not in these cards, my future is in fresh blood".On May 18, 2007 Ariel was released by WWE. The following week, Thorn appeared by himself, with the commentators claiming that Thorn was "flying solo". After leaving Ariel, Thorn was pushed, defeating superstars such as Stevie Richards, Balls Mahoney, Nunzio, and Tommy Dreamer. However, his winning streak would come to an end on July 3, on ECW when he lost to CM Punk. Thorn then began a feud with Stevie Richards after he pulled up an upset win over Thorn. After losing to Richards two weeks in a row, he cost himself the third match; he was disqualified for attacking Richards after the bell, following a victory. Two weeks later, however, Thorn defeated Richards after he had attacked Thorn during an interview with Tazz and Joey Styles one week earlier. On the September 18, edition of ECW, Thorn along with Elijah Burke, Tommy Dreamer, and Stevie Richards involved themselves in an Elimination Chase to No Mercy to face CM Punk. In their first match, a Fatal For-Way, Kevin Thorn was victorious and eliminated Stevie Richards. The next week, Thorn was eliminated following a defeat in a triple threat match. On November 20, 2007, Thorn debuted a new look, with shorter hair and different ring attire, while defeating Nunzio.Soon after this image change, Thorn was taken off of television and sent to train in Florida Championship Wrestling, while still appearing at WWE house shows and in dark matches.Kevin is married and recently became father to a baby boy. Fertig now lives in Tampa, Florida where he is now back training in FCW
About me:I was born on March 24, 1965.I am a American professional wrestler, better known by my ring name The Undertaker. I was signed to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), wrestling on its SmackDown brand.I began my wrestling career with World Class Championship Wrestling in 1984. He joined World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in 1989. When WCW did not renew my contract in 1990, in November of that year I joined the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, which later became the WWE in 2002). Having remained with that company ever since, I was currently one of the senior performers in WWE. I am one of only two wrestlers, the other being Shawn Michaels, to have appeared on the very first episode of Raw who are still with the company today.I am also the originator of several speciality matches, those being; the casket match, the Boiler Room Brawl match, the Buried Alive match, the Hell in a Cell match and the Inferno match.I was undefeated at WrestleMania with a 16-0 record (sometimes referred to as simply The Streak) and is a six-time world champion (four-time WWE Champion and two-time World Heavyweight Champion). I was also the winner of the 2007 Royal Rumble.I made my debut in 1984 in the Dallas, Texas based World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW) under the ring name "Texas Red".I wrestled and lost my first match against Bruiser Brody. In 1988, after four years in the promotion, 1 left. After leaving WCCW,I joined the CWA (which became the USWA after Jerry Jarrett merged CWA with WCCW) and wrestled under several gimmicks. On April 1, 1989,I was booked to win his first professional wrestling title, the USWA Unified World Heavyweight Championship, defeating Jerry "The King" Lawler, under the stage name "The Master of Pain". While performing as the "The Punisher",I won the WCWA Texas Heavyweight Championship on October 5, 1989 when Eric Embry forfeited the title.My first mainstream exposure was in World Championship Wrestling (WCW). While there,I was known as "Mean" Mark Callous and wrestled as part of the Skyscrapers tag team along with "Dangerous" Dan Spivey managed by Teddy Long. During his time in the Skyscrapers,me and Spivey were involved in a feud with the Road Warriors, but Spivey left before the feud came to an end. I then took on the guidance of Paul E. Dangerously and muscled his way through Brian Pillman and Johnny Ace.My most famous match in WCW was against Lex Luger for the NWA United States Championship at The Great American Bash, which I though lost when Luger pinned him after a clothesline. WCW declined to renew my contract, after losing my last match to Sting on September 1, 1990 at a house show.I then briefly wrestled in New Japan Pro Wrestling as Punisher Dice Morgan and in October 1990, I signed with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF).After leaving WCW,I briefly returned to the USWA to participate in a tournament to determine the new USWA Unified World Heavyweight champion;I defeated Bill Dundee in the first round, but lost to Jerry Lawler in the quarterfinals.I made my WWF debut as "Cain the Undertaker" at a taping of WWF Superstars on November 19, 1990. I made my official on-camera debut on November 22 at Survivor Series as the mystery partner of Ted DiBiase's Million Dollar team, where I was simply called The Undertaker. Approximately one minute into the match, I eliminated Koko B. Ware with his signature maneuver, the Tombstone Piledriver. I also eliminated Dusty Rhodes before being counted out. Shortly after Survivor Series, "Cain" was dropped from my wrestling name, and I was called simply The Undertaker. The appearance of me was modeled after a mortician from old Western movies, with the gimmick that I was impervious to pain and possessed supernatural powers, such as teleportation and manipulation of flames and lightning. It was at this time that I switched managers from Brother Love to Paul Bearer.I made my WrestleMania debut at WrestleMania VII, squashing "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka. The win was the first in my undefeated streak at the event. After a year of battles with the Ultimate Warrior in body bag matches, Randy Savage, and Hulk Hogan, I defeated Hogan to win his first WWF Championship at Survivor Series. WWF President Jack Tunney ordered a rematch for This Tuesday in Texas six days later, where I dropped the title back to Hogan.After my ally Jake "The Snake" Roberts lost a match to Randy Savage on the February 8, 1992 edition of Saturday Night's Main Event, Roberts tried to attack Savage's manager/wife Miss Elizabeth with a steel chair when the I stopped him, turning his face. I defeated Roberts at WrestleMania VIII. I then feuded extensively with wrestlers managed by Harvey Wippleman throughout 1992 and 1993, most notably Kamala, whom I faced and defeated in the first televised coffin match in WWF history at Survivor Series, and Giant Gonzales, whom I defeated by disqualification at WrestleMania IX and by pinfall at SummerSlam. In November 1993, I challenged then-WWF Champion Yokozuna to a casket match at the Royal Rumble. At the Royal Rumble, Yokozuna sealed me in the casket with the assistance of several other heel wrestlers, winning the match.My "spirit" appeared from inside the casket on the video screen, warning that I would return. This began my first hiatus. In reality, I had a back injury that was getting worse and needed time off.After WrestleMania X, Ted DiBiase introduced the the fake Undertaker back to the WWF. This Undertaker, however, played by Brian Lee, was dubbed me later on by the fans and led to the return of the original me (this time appearing as a zombie version of his original persona, and now wearing purple gloves and boot covers), and a battle at SummerSlam between the two, where the me won the match after three Tombstone Piledrivers. At Survivor Series, I had a rematch against Yokozuna, once again in a casket match, with Chuck Norris as a special guest enforcer to keep anyone from interfering in the match. While King Kong Bundy and Bam Bam Bigelow distracted Norris, Irwin R. Schyster interfered in the match; despite this,I won the match by delivering a running big boot to Yokozuna, which pushed Yokozuna into the casket, and then closed the lid.Throughout most of 1995,I feuded with members of Ted DiBiase's Million Dollar Corporation. At WrestleMania XI, while I was facing King Kong Bundy, Kama Mustafa stole my source of storyline power, the urn, and disrespected me by melting it into a large gold necklace. As part of the angle, the two faced each other in a casket match at SummerSlam, which the I won.Several weeks later, I injured my orbital bone near his eye, forcing a period of absence for surgery, until his return at Survivor Series.I returned at the 1995 Survivor Series, wearing a Phantom-like ghostly Grey upper facemask.At the Royal Rumble,I was unmasked in a WWF Championship match against Bret Hart. Diesel interfered in the match to cost me the championship, and one month later, while Diesel was facing Hart in a steel cage match, I came up from under the ring to drag Diesel underneath, allowing Hart the victory.This feud culminated in a match between the duo at WrestleMania XII, in which I was victorious.My next feud commenced the very next night, when Mankind made his debut, interfering in my match with Justin Hawk Bradshaw. For the next few months, Mankind ambushed and cost me several matches.I faced Mankind for the first time in a match at the King of the Ring, which Mankind won.The feud intensified, and they began taking their battles into crowds, backstage areas, and in the boiler rooms of different arenas. As a result, the first ever Boiler Room Brawl match was booked between the two at SummerSlam. During the match, when I reached for my urn, Paul Bearer hit him with it, turning on me and allowing Mankind to "incapacitate" me with the Mandible claw, giving him the win. After Bearer's betrayal,I took his rivalry with Mankind to a new level, resulting in a Buried Alive match at In Your House: Buried Alive.I won the match after a Chokeslam into the open grave, but after interference from The Executioner, as well as the help of several other superstars,I was ultimately "Buried Alive". As a result, a match was booked for the upcoming Survivor Series, again pitting Me against Mankind, with a unique stipulation. Hanging 20 ft above the ring was Paul Bearer, enclosed in a steel cage. If I won the match, I would be able to get his hands on Bearer. Even though Undertaker won the match, interference from The Executioner enabled Bearer to escape my clutches.I then shifted feuds and briefly turned his attention to The Executioner, who had become a thorn in his side since his arrival. At In Your House: It's Time, defeated The Executioner in an Armageddon rules match.By the end of 1996,I began a feud with Vader, culminating in a loss to Vader at the Royal Rumble after Bearer interfered on behalf of his new protégé.After this loss, my character began to focus his attention on the WWF Championship.At WrestleMania 13,I defeated Sycho Sid to win the WWF Championship for the second time in a No Disqualification match. After the event, Paul Bearer attempted to rejoin with me, using the threat of revealing my biggest secret. In the storyline, Bearer announced that Undertaker was a murderer, who as a child had burned down the family funeral home business (where Bearer worked), killing my parents and my younger brother.I claimed there was no way for Bearer to have that information, but Paul announced that he was told this by my brother Kane, who was still alive but horribly burned and scarred. Bearer raised Kane after the fire, having him institutionalized. Now, Kane was waiting for revenge after all these years. In defense,I responded that Kane, a pyromaniac, had been the one to set the fire and could not have possibly survived.My next major storyline began at SummerSlam in 1997 when referee Shawn Michaels accidentally hit me with a steel chair shot meant for Bret Hart, costing the me my WWF Championship. Although the chair shot was accidental, Michaels taunted me in the following weeks.The feud culminated at In Your House: Badd Blood, where the Undertaker challenged Michaels to the first ever Hell in a Cell match. During this match,my storyline brother Kane made his debut, ripping off the door to the cell and giving me a tombstone piledriver, allowing Michaels to pin me. As the angle progressed, Kane, with Paul Bearer, challenged me to fights, but I consistently refused to fight my brother Kane. The my final encounter with Michaels was in the return of the casket match at the Royal Rumble, where Kane cost me the win by trapping me in the coffin, padlocking the casket lid, and setting it ablaze. I, however, had disappeared when the casket lid was reopened. After a two-month hiatus, I returned to continue the angle and defeat Kane at WrestleMania XIV.The two had a rematch, the first ever Inferno match, one month later at In Your House: Unforgiven, where I was booked to win by setting Kane's right arm on fire.My longtime feud with Mankind was renewed afterwards, when Mankind cost me a number one contenders match against Kane.As a result, me and Mankind faced each other in a Hell in a Cell match at King of the Ring. During the match, I threw Mankind off the roof of the sixteen foot cell onto the Spanish announcers' table below, in what was a preplanned move.I later chokeslammed Mankind through the roof of the cell into the ring -- which legitimately knocked Mick Foley (Mankind) unconscious -- and finished the match by chokeslamming Mankind onto a pile of thumbtacks.In July at Fully Loaded, me and Steve Austin were booked to defeat Kane and Mankind to win the WWF Tag Team Championship. Me and Austin's reign as tag champions lasted for only two weeks, as Kane and Mankind regained the titles on an episode of Raw.I then became the number one contender for the WWF Championship at SummerSlam, now held by Austin. Shortly before SummerSlam, however,I revealed that me and Kane were working together as brothers. Despite this revelation,I told Kane that I did not want him to interfere in the match with Austin, and even though I lost the match,I handed Austin his belt back after the match in a show of respect.In September, the storyline continued, and i began to show heel characteristics, becoming a tweener, when me and Kane revealed the fact that they were in cahoots to rid Austin of his title for Vince McMahon. At Breakdown: In Your House,me and Kane were booked in a triple threat match with Austin for his WWF title; McMahon stated that the brothers were not allowed to pin each other.Me and Kane pinned Austin simultaneously after a double chokeslam,so the title was vacated by McMahon. This led to a match at In Your House: Judgment Day between the two brothers for the title, with Stone Cold as the Special Guest Referee. Near the end of the match, Paul Bearer seemed about to assist Kane by handing him a steel chair to hit Undertaker with, but as Kane had his back turned, both Bearer and me hit Kane with the chair.I went for the pin, but Austin refused to count the fall, attacked me, and counted out both brothers. Finally, Undertaker turned heel the next night on Raw is War for the first time in over six years, reconciling with Paul Bearer and claiming that me and Bearer would unleash their Ministry of Darkness on the World Wrestling Federation. As part of this new angle,I admitted that I had indeed set the fire that killed his parents, for which he had previously blamed Kane.After Survivor Series,I returned my attention back to my previous feud with Austin for having costing me the title at Judgment Day, viciously hitting Austin in the head with a shovel during a title match with The Rock, returning the favor for what happened a month earlier. With this twist in the angle, McMahon scheduled a Buried Alive match between Undertaker and Austin in December 1998 at Rock Bottom: In Your House. In the weeks leading up to Rock Bottom, my character became increasingly demonic and satanic, attempting to embalm Austin alive, trying to have Kane committed to a mental asylum, and having his druids chain Austin to his symbol and raising it high into the arena. I, however, lost the match after Kane interfered.In January 1999, I returned, remaining a monster heel and forming the Ministry of Darkness, explaining that I was taking orders from a "Higher Power." Eventually, the Ministry merged with Shane McMahon's Corporation heel stable to form the Corporate Ministry.During this time,I was booked to defeat Austin for my third WWF Championship at Over the Edge with help from Shane McMahon, the special referee.Two weeks later, it was revealed on Raw that Vince McMahon had been my character "Higher Power" all along. After I dropped the WWF title back to Austin one night after King of the Ring, and lost a First Blood match at Fully Loaded, his relationship with the McMahons dissolved and the Corporate Ministry disbanded.I then began a storyline where I teamed with The Big Show in a tag team known as The UnHoly Alliance, which held the WWF Tag Team Championship twice.I was then scheduled to perform at Unforgiven, contending for the WWF Championship, but a groin injury knocked me out of action for the remainder of the year and part of the next. Onscreen, my absence was explained by me quitting.I was due to return to action for WrestleMania 2000, but a legitimate biceps injury in February 2000 delayed my return until May 2000. When I returned at Judgment Day, my gimmick was dramatically modified in line with the WWF's change to a more realistic approach.My gimmick became that of an intimidating biker, known as the "American Bad Ass",and I began using the Last Ride (Elevated Powerbomb) as my finishing move, as opposed to the Tombstone Piledriver, which had become synonymous with me over the years. Upon my return,my storyline called for me to take out all the members of the McMahon-Helmsley Faction, which quickly turned his face again.I also targeted their leader, WWF Champion Triple H. At King of the Ring,I teamed with The Rock and Kane to defeat the team of Triple H, Shane McMahon, and Vince McMahon.Afterwards,I was booked to team with Kane to contend for the WWF Tag Team Championship.We defeated Edge and Christian, earning the right to face them the following week for the tag titles, which Edge and Christian retained. Kane turned on me by chokeslamming him twice on the August 14 episode of Raw. This led to another match between the two at SummerSlam, which ended in a no-contest as Kane ran from the ring area after I removed Kane's mask.I was then booked to challenge Kurt Angle for the WWF Championship at Survivor Series. Angle, however, defeated me following interference from Kurt's real life brother Eric Angle.I was demanded and was awarded a spot in the Six-Man Hell in a Cell match for the WWF Championship at Armageddon.I did not win the match, but did perform a move where I threw Rikishi off the roof of the cell.In 2001, I reunited with Kane as the Brothers of Destruction, challenging for the WWF Tag Team Championship once again. As part of the angle, we received a shot at the title at No Way Out, facing Edge and Christian and then-champions the Dudley Boys in a Tables Match. Me and Kane dominated almost the entire match but were not the winners.I was then booked to defeat Triple H at WrestleMania X-Seven, where I improved my WrestleMania winning streak to 9-0.Me and Kane continued a storyline that focused on Triple H, who formed a "surprise alliance" with WWF Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin.Me and Kane were granted an opportunity to face Triple H and Austin for their titles. After me and Kane acquired the WWF Tag Title from Edge and Christian, Triple H pinned Kane after attacking him with a sledgehammer at Backlash, where me and Kane dropped the titles. With Kane injured,I feuded briefly Steve Austin for his WWF Championship, but at Judgment Day, Austin retained his title against me.As part of the 2001 Invasion angle,my next nemesis was Diamond Dallas Page, who was obsessively following my wife Sara.At SummerSlam, WCW Tag Team Champions me and Kane defeated Page and his partner Chris Kanyon in a steel cage match to win the WWF Tag Team Championship.At Survivor Series,I began a storyline where I took on The Alliance's Steve Austin, Booker T, Rob Van Dam,Shane McMahon, and Kurt Angle while teaming up with Kane, the Rock, Chris Jericho, and the Big Show. Angle pinned me due to interference by Austin. After the Alliance was defeated,I turned heel once again by forcing commentator Jim Ross to kiss Vince McMahon's ass. This was the beginning of a new persona for me, as I cut my long hair short and called my "Big Evil". At Vengeance,I was booked to defeat Van Dam to capture the WWF Hardcore Championship.My next angle began at the Royal Rumble in 2002 when Maven eliminated me by dropkicking him from behind. Subsequently,I eliminated Maven in return and brutally assaulted him backstage.On an episode of SmackDown!, The Rock mentioned my elimination at the Royal Rumble, angering me. I responded by costing The Rock the number one contendership for the WWF Undisputed Championship. The storyline continued when The Rock cost me my match with Maven for the Hardcore Championship.The two faced off at No Way Out, where I lost due to interference from Ric Flair. This began a storyline with Flair, who declined a challenge to wrestle me at WrestleMania X8, and, as a result,I assaulted his son David Flair.Flair eventually accepted the match after I threatened to inflict the same punishment on Flair's daughter.A no disqualification stipulation was added to the match, and I defeated Flair.After the angle with Flair, I defeated Stone Cold Steve Austin at Backlash to win the number one contendership for the WWF Undisputed Championship. Later that night, my storyline called for me to help Hulk Hogan win his title match against the Undisputed Champion Triple H.I was then booked to defeat Hogan forhis fourth world championship at Judgment Day.I soon turned face after a ladder match with Jeff Hardy, whose hand he raised after the match as a sign of respect.I, however, dropped the title at Vengeance to The Rock in a Triple Threat match that also involved Kurt Angle.I was then switched from Raw to SmackDown!, alongside former Raw talent Brock Lesnar, Chris Benoit, and Eddie Guerrero.I was booked to challenge Lesnar in a title match at Unforgiven that inevitably ended in a double-DQ.Their feud carried over to No Mercy in a Hell in a Cell match.I performed in the match with a legitimate broken hand and eventually lost to the champion.I took a leave from wrestling after the Big Show threw me off the stage in Memphis, sparking a feud (in reality,me and my wife, Sara, were expecting our first child together).I returned at the Royal Rumble in 2003.I immediately continued my feud with Big Show and defeated him via submission at No Way Out with a triangle choke. A-Train entered the angle by attempting to attack me after the match, but Nathan Jones came to my aid.The storyline resumed as I began to train Jones to wrestle, and the two of us were scheduled to fight Big Show and A-Train in a tag team match at WrestleMania XIX. Jones, however, was removed prior to the match, making it a handicap match, which Undertaker won with the help of Jones.Over the remainder of the year,I was booked to have two WWE Championship opportunities. The first, on the September 4 SmackDown!, against Kurt Angle, ended in a no contest, due to interference from Brock Lesnar.The second, at No Mercy, was a Biker Chain match between Undertaker and Lesnar, which Lesnar won with the help of Vince McMahon.This resulted in a storyline feud with McMahon, culminating at Survivor Series where I lost a Buried Alive match against McMahon when Kane interfered.I disappeared for some time following the match, with Kane claiming that I was "dead and buried forever.In the storyline leading up to WrestleMania XX, Kane was haunted by vignettes proclaiming my return. The first was during the Royal Rumble when my bells tolled, distracting Kane and allowing Booker T to eliminate him.At WrestleMania XX, I, accompanied by Paul Bearer and in my "Deadman" persona, returned and defeated Kane.Three months later, Bearer was kidnapped by the Dudley Boyz at the direction of Paul Heyman,who then took "control" of me.The angle added a new twist at The Great American Bash where I was forced to fight a handicap match against the Dudleys, and if I lose, Heyman would bury Bearer in cement.I won but buried Bearer anyway, explaining that Bearer was merely a liability now and that he had no use for him anymore.Fans were later told that Bearer was "seriously injured," but in reality, he was simply removed from WWE programming due to health reasons.I also remained a face.After defeating the Dudley Boyz,I began a new storyline feud by challenging then WWE Champion John "Bradshaw" Layfield (JBL) to a title match at SummerSlam, which I lost when I disqualified myself.At No Mercy,me and JBL were booked to compete in the first ever "Last Ride" match, although I lost after Heidenreich interfered.After a brief program with Heidenreich,I turned my focus to the WWE Championship once again. Along with Eddie Guerrero and Booker T,I challenged JBL to a championship rematch at Armageddon in a Fatal Four-Way, in which I was unsuccessful, again due to Heidenreich's interference.This led to a Casket match between I and Heidenreich at the Royal Rumble, where I sealed Heidenreich in a casket for the victory to end the storyline.Soon afterward, Randy Orton challenged me to a match at WrestleMania 21, in an angle where Orton claimed that he would end my WrestleMania winning streak.Even with help from his father "Cowboy" Bob Orton, Randy failed, and I improved his WrestleMania record to 13-0.Following WrestleMania,I took a two month hiatus from wrestling after the birth of my second daughter in late May 2005.I returned for the June 16 episode of SmackDown! but lost to JBL, thanks to interference from Randy Orton.After The Great American Bash,I became number one contender to the World Heavyweight Championship, a position that JBL felt he should have. As part of the feud, on the following SmackDown!,I lost a number one contender match against JBL, once again due to interference from Orton.With this,I resumed my feud with Orton. At SummerSlam, Orton defeated me in a WrestleMania rematch.The storyline intensified as the two taunted each other with caskets, leading to a casket match at No Mercy, in which I lost to Randy and his father "Cowboy" Bob Orton.After the match, the Ortons poured gasoline on the casket and set it on fire. When the charred casket was opened, however,I had once again vanished.I returned at the Survivor Series, emerging from a burning casket.Undertaker returned to SmackDown! in early December to haunt Orton and set up a Hell in a Cell match at Armageddon.After winning the match,I took a short hiatus from wrestling, presumably due to controversy associated with the match, as Bob Orton was diagnosed with hepatitis but was allowed to bleed during the match without me knowing of his condition.In early 2006 at the Royal Rumble,I returned during Kurt Angle's celebration of his world title defense against Mark Henry on a horse drawn cart, signaling for a title shot. As part of their storyline feud,I lost my match with Angle at No Way Out after a thirty minute bout.I cornered Angle after the match, and after a stare down, told Angle that he had his number and that I was not finished with him yet.I had my No Way Out rematch for the World Heavyweight Championship against Angle on SmackDown! when Henry attacked me from behind, costing me the title.This began an angle between the duo, as I then challenged Henry to a Casket match at WrestleMania 22, and Henry, like Orton a year before him, vowed to end my WrestleMania winning streak.I defeated Henry to become 14-0 at WrestleMania, keeping his storyline undefeated streak alive.During a rematch on the next edition of SmackDown!, The Great Khali made his debut and assaulted me, signaling the end of one storyline and the beginning of a new one.I was not heard from until the May 5 edition of SmackDown!, as Theodore Long delivered a challenge from me to Khali for a match at Judgment Day.I was booked to cleanly lose to Khali, and I did not appear again until the July 4 edition of SmackDown! to accept Khali's challenge to a Punjabi Prison match at The Great American Bash.Khali, however, was removed from the match due to elevated liver enzymes and was replaced by ECW Champion The Big Show, over whom I gained the victory. In the storyline, Teddy Long replaced Khali with Big Show as punishment for an attack on me shortly before the match.Khali was then challenged to a Last Man Standing match at SummerSlam after interfering in my match with World Heavyweight Champion King Booker.Khali refused the challenge for SummerSlam, though Long made the match official for the August 18 episode of SmackDown! instead.I won the match by striking Khali with the steel stairs, delivering several chair shots, and finishing him with a chokeslam.My next match was with WWE United States Champion Mr. Kennedy at No Mercy but was disqualified in the match after I hit Kennedy with the championship belt.On the November 3 edition of SmackDown!,I reunited with Kane to form the Brothers of Destruction for the first time in five years, defeating the reluctant opposition team of Mr. Kennedy and Montel Vontavious Porter, with whom Kane was feuding with at the time.As part of the angle, Kennedy defeated me in a First Blood match at Survivor Series after interference from MVP, but finally defeated Kennedy in a Last Ride match at Armageddon by delivering a chokeslam and Tombstone on the roof of the hearse, sticking him in the back, and driving the hearse out of the arena. The two of us continued to feud into 2007 as Kennedy cost me two World Heavyweight Championship opportunities for a championship match at the Royal Rumble.I won my first Royal Rumble match after Shawn Michaels attempted Sweet Chin Music, and I ducked and lifted Michaels over the top rope for the victory.I became the first man to enter the Rumble at number 30 and win the match.I then began an angle with Batista, whom I defeated at WrestleMania 23 to win my first World Heavyweight Championship. On the next SmackDown!, Batista entered the ring and declared that he wanted a rematch in the form of a Last Man Standing match at Backlash. The rematch ended in a draw when neither man was able to answer the ten-count after Batista speared me off the entrance stage, causing the steel pillars to fall on top of the two men, resulting in me retaining the Championship. On the May 11 SmackDown! taping,I had a Steel Cage match with Batista that was booked to result in a draw when both men's feet touched the floor at the same time. After the match, Mark Henry returned and assaulted the defenseless me. Immediately after the assault, Edge cashed in his Money in the Bank title shot, and I dropped the World Heavyweight Championship to Edge. As I laid in the ring, druids appeared and carried him to the backstage area. In reality,I had suffered an arm injury that required surgery, but WWE did not want to break my character by having him forfeit the title. During my rehabilitation, Henry squashed local jobbers and bragged about his assault on me, until vignettes began playing promoting my return.I returned at Unforgiven, successfully defeating Henry with a Last Ride from the corner and again on SmackDown! two weeks later with a chokeslam.Batista and I re-ignited their storyline feud at Cyber Sunday where the fans chose guest referee Stone Cold Steve Austin, but Batista retained the world title after two Batista Bombs.They battled again inside Hell in a Cell at Survivor Series where Edge returned and interfered by giving me a con-chair-to and pulling an unconscious Batista on top of Undertaker for the pinfall to retain the World Heavyweight Championship.In response to this,I delivered a Tombstone piledriver to General Manager Vickie Guerrero, on the next SmackDown!, in storyline, sending her to the hospital. Returning Assistant-GM Theodore Long declared a Triple Threat match for the title at Armageddon. Edge won the match by pinning Batista, who had been given a Tombstone piledriver which was followed by me being hit with a chair while he attempted the pinfall.
At No Way Out 2008,I defeated Batista, Finlay, The Great Khali, Montel Vontavious Porter, and Big Daddy V in a SmackDown/ECW Elimination Chamber, to become the number one contender for Edge's World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania XXIV.I defeated Edge at WrestleMania with his gogoplata submission hold, to win his second World Heavyweight title and elevate his undefeated streak at WrestleMania to 16-0.In a WrestleMania rematch, I defeated Edge once again at Backlash to retain the World Heavyweight Championship.I battled Edge for the title at Judgment Day, which I won but could not keep the title because of the count out victory. The two faced each other again for the championship at One Night Stand in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match, which I lost. As a result of the storyline stipulation,I was banished from WWE.On the July 25, 2008 episode of Friday Night SmackDown, Vickie Guerrero announced that Edge would face me at SummerSlam in a Hell in a Cell match,which I won. After the match I chokeslammed Edge from the top of a ladder and through the ring canvas.I "summoned" the flames from hell to take Edge.Following this match, Guerrero tried to make a peace-offering with me on SmackDown by apologizing, but I told her that he is not the forgiving kind. This continued his rivalry with La Familia, especially Guerrero. At Unforgiven, as I approached the ring to "take Guerrero's soul" and take her in a casket, the Big Show, who appeared at first to aid me, turned on me and assaulted me. As a result of this altercation, me and Big Show faced each other in a match at No Mercy, where the Big Show knocked me out with a punch to the back of my head.At Cyber Sunday I defeated the Big Show in a fan picked Last Man Standing match after applying the Devil's Triangle.I then went on to defeat the Big Show at Survivor Series (2008) in a casket match.




Thank you for the complete anthology on the Undertaker! Such detail. Your disappearances between shows just adds to the "Undertaker Mystic" I'm getting the new DVD "Tombstone"! Can't wait to relieve those memorable matches. Don't change a thing. Undertaker's long time fan, Z-MAN
