Has anyone ever had more energy dedicated purely to creating opponents/successors for them than Undertaker?

For the successor, felt like they tried to replace Rey with every Hispanic dude they brought to the main roster from 2009 onwards

I don't think that's what EC is getting at. They've tried to copy paste Undertakers gimmick to a lot of people, I dont think he means the hulk hogan push

Hogan and Rey are both respectable answers though.

"Has there ever been someone that this has happened to so often" does not mean "this has never happened to anyone else ever" lol

I just feel like there were like a dozen monster types created almost for the express purpose of facing Taker. Some who were meant to dethrone him, and some who were just there to get ate up. :lol

Undertaker is a good shout though, every company pretty much has tried to copy it too, Abyss comes to mind

Someone with better booking acumen than these WWE bozos
I'll take your word for it, I haven't watched a full show in like 7 years and every time I catch segments on Youtube, the product presentation puts me off.
