Undertaker really grew on me as time went by. I first liked him when he showed up and was a heel. But I didn't like his face push and never became a fan. Except for Lesnar, I was always rooting against the streak.
But I learned more about the Undertaker and Mark. I watched his matches more closely and realized the man was an exceptional wrestler. Sometimes the gimmick overshadowed it though. But the main thing was during the Montreal Screwjob, when Undertaker went and pounded on Vince's office door and MADE Vince go to apologize. I mean, standing up to the most powerful man In the history of wrestling like that.
And then I also began learning about his dedication to the business and the TRADTIONS of the business. And I realized, and I can say this without any regret or hyperbole in my mind, but after Ric Flair, I think the Undertaker may be the second best wrestler in the history of the business. And he's a solid, good man with integrity like no one else.
He HAD to make Roman beat him just like Flair had to have HBK beat him. Honestly, two of the greatest moments in history of wrestling when two legends went out the way a wrestler is supposed to go out.
Oh man I didn't know about him doing that when Screwjob happened, that's a class act.
