About Me
His first mainstream exposure was in World Championship Wrestling (WCW). While there, he was known as "Mean" Mark Callous and wrestled as part of the Skyscrapers tag team along with "Dangerous" Dan Spivey and later as a singles wrestler. During his time in the Skyscrapers, he and Spivey were involved in a feud with the Road Warriors, but Spivey left before the feud came to an end. Calaway then took on the guidance of Paul E. Dangerously and muscled his way through guys like Brian Pillman and Johnny Ace. His most famous match in WCW was against Lex Luger for the NWA United States Championship at the 1990 Great American Bash, which he lost when Luger pinned him after a clothesline. Despite his strong showing against Lex Luger, WCW declined to renew Calaway's contract, and he signed with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in late October 1990. During that time, he also toured New Japan Pro Wrestling.The Undertaker made his WWE debut on November 22, 1990 at Survivor Series 1990 as the mystery partner of Ted DiBiase's Million Dollar team.[5] About one minute into the match, Undertaker eliminated Koko B. Ware with his finisher, called the Tombstone Piledriver. After Survivor Series, Calaway was called Kane the Undertaker at several shows until "Kane" was dropped from his name, and he reverted back to simply "The Undertaker." (Kane later became the name for the Undertaker's kayfabe half-brother.) The appearance of Undertaker was modeled after a mortician from old Western movies, with the character being supposedly impervious to pain and possessing supernatural powers, such as teleportation and manipulation of flames and lightning. It was at this time that the Undertaker switched managers from Brother Love to Paul Bearer.
