Undertaker began his wrestling journey in 1986 under the guidance of famous wrestler Buzz Sawyer. There are two speculations about Calaway’s beginning.

One of the major gimmicks of Undertaker is the Deadman gimmick. It used caskets, body bags, and effigies depicting corpses, cemeteries, and hearses.

This gimmick focused on him as an undead, macabre, funereal, and horror-themed character. His intro consists of funeral tolls, a semi-darkened atmosphere with smoke, hazy fog, blue or purple lights, thunder sounds, lightning, and whistles.

Each Deadman incarnation is unique and has a distinct appearance. All this made him a legendary star in WWE. Undertaker has appeared in TV and media as well.
